That dual angle system is nicely made yes. I suppose it works as well.

That fellow made a beautiful piece of equipment but it looks like you'd need a masters degree in mechanical engineering to use it

i love gadgets, especially improving & re-engineering existing tools. however, for sharpening a graver that's awesome, but overkill.

 

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

Yes Mitch looks overkill to me too, but no doubt it probably works great.

I want one!!! No make that two!!!!!

 

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

To me his toolmaking skills are far better that his engraving skills. Perhaps the sharpening fixture isn't that good. :justkidding:

The cuts are not ragged, so the tool is sharp. I would say that means his fixture worked well. But, Lord what a lot of machining to get to an easily bought destination!!!
