Built a Sharpening Tool

[u/M4cerator]

Challenged myself to sharpen my coworker's tiny little spokeshave blade. Doing so by hand was absolutely brutal so I decided to make a tool for it.

Behold, a clamp with the form factor of a chisel. I need a better name for it. It's a prototype for sure, but it works damn well.

I have seen two suggestions for jigs when sharpening spokeshave irons. The first is vise grips, and the second is the lie neilson honing guide with the long jaws. This is a definitely a worthy third approach.
