Angle Guide wedges

Post by thankgod4rkids »

This actually were a pop up ad on my phone. Thought I would share if anyone is interested. I haven't seen them before and haven't tried them.

Haven’t seen that specific brand but it’s an old, old concept. And it works! That looks like it should be an inexpensive clever version. Several present-day sharpening systems utilize the same concept. The Work Sharp Guided Sharpening System comes with interchangeable angle guides which snap in place, held by magnets. If you don’t like the angles supplied with the kit, optional different angles are available.

Here’s an old Robeson branded “Sharp Stik” sharpening stone mounted in a piece of wood having integral angle guides. Not sure of its age but it’s got to be 60+ years old.

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

I really like that idea of a 15 degree wedge. I wonder if I could make one accurately
out of a piece of wood.........

That is easy. I have made several out of a block of balsa wood, marked the angles i require with a protractor on the side of the wood, and cut with a small saw. You only need them to give you the angle, so balsa wood is fine and easy to cut.

I had the same problem. Google was tracking me, and sending ads for stuff I had looked up. I installed DuckDuckGo as my browser, set it to be my primary browser and deleted or disabled every other browser. Problem solved! ::tu::
