My Gussied Up Gough Jig

[The Gopher]

Like many DIYers, I always make it a point to walk by the scrap bin at work. I came across a few pieces of 80/20 and thought I should make a new gough jig. I am also working on scrounging up the supplies for a NWGS 2X72, but the file jig does an amazing job, especially when I'm just having fun anyway. The blade in the picture I took up to nearly a full flat grind, it only takes about 15 minutes to "grind" each side of the blade. Thanks again Aaron!

That's what I started on...than got a grinder cuz my wrist were starting to hurt.
Still haven't tossed it yet.

It looks like it could really do the job for a hand tool !

Nice, I'm going to steal your idea of using the plunge stop bolt as the blade keeper as well. Good thinking!

That one looks nice and solid.

Any chance you could post a picture of the underside of the jig?

Thanks!

Looks like a slick set up! Nicely done.
