As Lincoln once said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” Both Japanese woodworkers and Lincoln recognize that sharpening preparation is the most important task.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, I do not recommend spending too much time on sharpening. Instead, use a Jig to quickly and accurately make a sharp edge. This Jig is specifically designed for sharpening plane blades. It can be made from very inexpensive materials, yet it offers sufficient functionality even when compared to high-end Jigs. In fact, I believe the blade clamping method surpasses that of premium tools. Using a well-sharpened blade will dramatically improve your woodworking skills, and at the same time, I promise it will greatly increase your enjoyment for woodworking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eIncluded Knowledge in the Plan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eGuidelines for achieving functional precision\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eJig setup for sharpening to the exact target blade angle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpLast\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhat angle should the cutting edge be set to?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Takuwoodcraft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43035767177305,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/1541\/5385\/files\/sharpening-jig.ver.0.0.jpg?v=1770043252","url":"https:\/\/takuwoodcraft.com\/en\/products\/sharpening-jig","provider":"Takuwoodcraft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
