Flat grinders Bubble Jig is in production.

Looks like a very handy gadget and for a lot more than just knifemaking. It's the same principal as a level I've used the last forty years or so welding but in a much smaller package. I'll keep an eye out for the video and may be interested in one when you get them available.

Since you have posted pictures and explained their use I could just go out in the shop and build my own. :D Just kidding.
 
Please put me down for one.

Thanks.....Jim
 
Are you going to have these for sale after the first run of them? I have no use for one (and no pocket change) but I'll definitely be interested in the future.

Even if you grind totally freehand; you would find numerous uses for this little jig in your shop.

People who have their names on the contact list get jigs as they come off the mill.

The Bubble Jig will be available here on the forum or from my website.

Thanks, Fred
 
Put me on your list Fred. Not sure how much use it'll see, but I always like a way to check my calibrated eyeball :)

Fred,

Please put me on the list also. Looks like something I can really use around the smithy.

Thanks,

I've done something similar before when sharpening machetes. I stick a picture level to a magnet with some glue, the stick it on the blade. Then I tilt the sander to the angle I want. I'm using the HF 1x30 with a frame to lay it on its side, then just block up one end to get the 10 or 15 degree angle I'm looking for. Nice to see someone refine the idea to this level.
 
This is a great tool for my use since, I'm still learning to grind bevels. A good invention Fred, let me know when I can send you the money to purchase one from you. Thanks, Rey
 
Hey Fred, put me on the list! I think I'll be at the Cambridge show but if there done earlier let me know how you want payment.

I have you down, d. It is really nice for daggers. Makes grinding all four sides equally a whole lot easier.

Necessity is always the mother of invention.
I worked this idea over in my head for a year before it dawned on me, what the solution was and what form it would take.

Thanks for sharing your sharpening story, Fred

Thanks Reynaldo, I have your name down. If you are just learning to grind on a machine, the Bubbly Jig will shorten the learning curve greatly.

The first run should be assembled by the middle of Sept.

The main thing now is writing the code for the cnc machine.
