Messed up grind need ideas

Thanks for all the help! I will make a file guide today and fix the grinding table if possible to get it level somehow. Also I started building a better bevel jig yesterday I will finish today.
 
Filing jigs are a necessary item. I remember a lot of people making them with wood on the T part where you clamp the blade, but i found that to be inconsistent. The blade can sink into the wood slightly and sink in differently anytime you reclamp. I found it much better to add a bar of mild steel on top of the wood. That steel has to be pretty flat though or you can get irritating vibration and squealing noises when filing. I sanded my piece of steel a bit and then covered it with a single layer of duct tape and that helped a lot.
 
Found out whats causing the curvy grindline. That belt support isn't straight at all need to order some more precision ground steel.
