Made myself a sharpening jig

Not quite complete yet, still needs a tail wheel and some tinkering. The flat bar holding the blade in place is too thick and has the holding screw in a bad position for narrow knife blades such as the old mora in one picture, but with another design of that part I think it will be able to hold knives well too.

The original idea was basically intended for higher quality scissors (fabric scissors and such), whatever else I can make fit will be a bonus.
The blade to the woodworking tool (don't know what it's called in english) is the only thing I've actually tried working on so far, it had an uneven grind and VERY bad rust damage - some pitting remains in the picture. Nice flat grind, I could never get anywhere close to that working freehand.

Very hard to take a good picture, but this is two diffrent angles looking at my second victim, old and unfortunately warped dressmakers scissors.

Will be hard to sharpen anything with a belly to the tip with this jig. Anything with straight edge maybe
 
Yes, indeed, even the curved blade on the scissor required repositioning. Anyone know a better jig design?
