This idea has been kicking about in my head for some time
I wanted an easy way to 'reset' the bevels on an Axe

I was thinking of using it on a badly treated axe, this one is just a test (4 1/2 lb ELWELL)

Then on to a slack belt to blend in the bevels

Holds the axe head firmly while I attack it with some 120 grit 'sandpaper'

After the Polishing mop (probably should have waited with this final sharpening until I had hung it ::) )

After a trip to the wire wheel and some linseed oil

That's a great design :like:
Unistrut is versatile stuff

Thanks Kev, I just copied the Lansky sharpening system ;)
It's not for everyday sharpening it is to help me get angles the same both sides when I'm starting on a damaged axe :tu:
Unistrut GOOD :D
