Got me one too...

[Balin]

After seeing Michael's jig, with permission, I had one made by a local machinist. Plan on using it on my current knife project

Now, all I gotta do is finish a knife....

Awww Phil!

At least you could have let 'em stew for a day or two... I was hoping to see just how curious a Munky could get

 

[Phil Dwyer]

Ya well, they might be a bit like me, if so, they still might not know what its for!?

nice, but why did you put the holes in if there is no use for them?

Simply put, that's the way I saw the original, and perhaps they will prove themselves useful with small pieces of work. Who knows. When I discussed the cost of the two slots with the machinist, there was no difference in price. So, why not?

Man, I never got my scales for guessing the right question too! Oh well... Nice work on the jig!

Sorry about that, Im running just a bit behind.

I was going to start a new thread entitled " Guess when Im going to send the scales to TekSec?"

The winner gets a used 60 grit belt and some scrap micarta.

Who said the slots have no use?

LOL....no problem. I'd actually forgotten until this thread came up

Knowing what local machine shops charge... and the steps required to machine that jig.... I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry while I tell you that a piece of channel iron with the bottoms of the flanges and the inside of the webbing milled flat will give you the same end result.
