DIY Small Blade Honing Jig/Guide

Build a simple DIY jig to sharpen short plow/plough plane blades accurately at a desired angle (35° in my case). Inspired by Paul Sellers’ approach, this video shows how to make a wooden wedge-and-groove honing guide that keeps narrow, hard‑to‑grip irons square at 90° and on-angle—perfect for Stanley 45 and similar plow plane irons. We cover choosing the correct bevel (35° vs 25°/30°), laying out knife walls, sawing and chiseling clean grooves, truing with a router plane, fitting a 5° wedge, and sharpening on stones, optionally using a Sharpie for validation. No metal honing guide needed for these thin blades; get consistent results and restore skewed or damaged edges. Video highlights: Why short/narrow plow plane blades are tricky to sharpen freehand Setting up dual reference faces at 35° (and optional 30°) without regrinding Accurate layout: knife lines, half‑inch depth, 1" square maple stock Cutting and paring clean recesses; using a router plane for flat bottoms Making and tuning a 5° wedge for reliable clamping Sharpening workflow: establish bevel, optional micro‑bevel, squareness check Chapters: 0:00 Intro and problem with short plow plane blades 1:10 Store-bought honing guides vs DIY option 1:45 Paul Sellers–inspired jig concept 2:31 Angle choices: 25°/30° vs confirmed 35° 3:44 Cutting 35° and 30° faces on the jig 5:00 Stock size and layout (1" square, 1/2" depth) 6:40 Sawing/paring the recess; knife walls for accuracy 11:42 Cleaning the bed with a router plane 13:03 Making and fitting a 5° wedge 16:07 Assembling jig and setting blade projection 18:46 Sharpie test and bevel confirmation 19:23 Sharpening progression and wedge release 21:13 Squareness check and wrap-up Tools/materials mentioned: Maple scrap (≈1" square) Marking gauge, knife, square, pencil Backsaw, chisels, router plane Sharpening stones (coarse/medium/fine) Keywords: plow plane sharpening, plough plane iron, Stanley 45 blades, DIY honing guide, wooden sharpening jig, Paul Sellers inspired, 35 degree bevel, micro bevel, router plane jig, woodworking hand tools, sharpening narrow blades, freehand sharpening alternative, wedge jig, knife wall, accurate bevel angle If you enjoyed this build and it helped your sharpening, please like, comment with your jig tweaks, and subscribe for more hand tool projects and sharpening tips! #woodworking #diy #diywoodworking #handtools #handtoolwoodworking #traditionalwoodworking #chisel #handplane
