nice , young man teaching an old man how to make this jig very nice thank you
I love this idea. You could hold the knife in place by adding a mudguard washer on each of your 2 bolts. Which could tighten onto the blade & remove need for the G clamp. Totally awsome for all straight blades. Great work!
When making my jig, I realized why make the jig, angle adjustable when the work table of my grinder is easily adjustable. Leave the jig at 90 degrees and adjust the bevel angle with the table.

Damn... Thanks for pointing that out. Can't believe it didn't occur to me. *Massive facepalm*

Because the work table moves and will work itself loose. It's easier to keep it set at a 90°. I welded my table down permanently at 90° because I got tired of messing with it

My work table doesn’t go beyond 90degrees, making it virtually impossible to use while grinding bevels.

So, refreshing to see a young man articulate, well spoken and NOT blaring some hip hop music during video. Great job!

One of the most handy jigs I've ever seen. Thanks for the idea!
THANK YOU for the GREAT video Brad!! I reproduced your Bevel Jig today and IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY!!!! I really appreciated the easy to follow instructions and how you simplified/streamlined your information!!! 👍
Clear presice and to the point. Thanks for not talking a load of crap.
Great jig man, and as I was watching I thought of just one small, and easy, tweak? You could use some round stock for handles, with rubber bicycle handlebar grips for comfort n control!
Just starting my journey into knife making and this jig looks pretty easy to make, thanks for a good video.
That is a cool jig that works. I'm gonna borrow your design. Thanks.
I had to pause the bid to come and say THANKS for - - Speaking clearly without mumbles or "um's" - Tight editing, cutting out the needless and repetitive - Keeping the volume of the music at a sane level so we can focus on your voice AND for not using annoying screamer grunge or hypno dance trance music And, nice job on the fab up - Thanks

Why not use magnets too hold blade istead of clamp on knife bevels
Thank you. I think this is the best jig I've seen. Easy to make, accurate grinds, whats not to like? Hood tutorial.
Great video! Easy to understand instructions. Was about a 3 hour build for me ( mostly because I suck at welding ) but it came out great!
Thanks bud. I've seen a few vids on this kind of jig. This one looks easy and effective. I'll try it myself. Appreciate ya.
I built this jig with a few differences and it works really good! Very good video with excellent step by step tutorials. Thanks!

AWESOME IDEA, I have been trying my bevels by feel and so far I have gotten good results, but its really a pain and long process. I will try this jig and see how it works, looks promising!
Man, you did a great job of that!! I'm about to start learning to weld and looking out for simple projects to start on. This one is now right at the top of the list! Keep up the great work.
I am about to teach my 30 year old son how to blade-smith. I was interested in a jig as I do my bevels free hand and have the scars to prove it lol. I must say I am very, very impressed with your simple yet workable design. I am not to proud to say I'm in the workshop tomorrow to make one like yours myself. I shall however be using angle iron that's older than you by a good few years. Amazing what off-cuts you find a use for that projects like yours remind the brain what's in the deepest and darkest pits of the scrap corner lol. Good work young man.

Thanks for the video. I made one if these today, best grinds I've made. Thanks!
Brilliant! Making one of these.
just made this perfect little tool, thank you !
Very clever mate. Love it!
Nice!!! I had everything but the bold figured out, now i know how to finish my jig. Thanks!!
Great jig and video. I am going to attempt to make one for myself. I just retired and getting started in knifemaking for a hobby. Thanks so much for sharing.
Congrats sir, you win bevel jigging. One thing that occurred to me is that instead of using a clamp, you could slip fender washers in between the head of the knife platform bolts and the jig and use them to clamp the knife to the body, you could also use wing nuts instead of nuts in that setup. Hands down this is the jig I've been looking for. Ticks all of my boxes
Nicely done, simple, effective and easy to build. Thanks
Nice design but I think you could have used the Jack screw and Dunaway of all those washers
That was done very well, you have a great knife shop.
VERY NICE BUILD! I suck at grinding knives... may need to steal this design.
I'm definitely building a version of this, nice jig.
Pretty cool! Thanks for the idea.
Most applicable diy jig ever, simple tools easy for remake
Watched other videos but yours is the best one. Great job! I’m building yours, thanks for the video.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing
Well done and presented. Don't apologize for your work. Everyone starts somewhere. Painting your jigs helps keep them from rusting and makes them easer to find. A nut welded to the adjustment plate with the bolt threaded into it will allow you to adjust the angle of grind without using washerd or cutting the slot in the plate. Thanks for the video.
that’s awesome! Very clever and simple design!
Dude, You are so smart! Great job! Pitter Patter!
went here for the jig and im glad that i found a channel that im really liking
Like how that turned out 😊👍🏻👍🏻
AWESOME!!! Just what I was looking for!
Awesome job young man very impressive. Good looking jig too.
Perfeito! Parabéns!
I like it! Thanks for the idea! Great video!
This is very nice. I might need to make myself something similar. Good job.
amazing brother tank you
Like the plan!
Cool jig, thank you for the share✌🏻✌🏻
It took me a little bit to remember where I know this young man's face from. Nice to see he's still going at it.
This is a great and simple jig to build! Great job!

Cool jig man. The washers and bolts are a nice touch.
This is a great idea! I can see some usefulness with sharpening lawn mower blades as well! Nice work

Excelente trabajo hermano, saludos desde Managua, Nicaragua
Thank You for the inspirstion!! I def.make one fir myself
That's a neat jig. Well done!
Great idea with the washers. If you use all the same size, or keep track of the specific sizes used, it will be easy to repeat the same grind on later knives. I think I might copy your jig. It's one of the most practical ones I've seen.

Good idea to use all the same size. I've created a washer chart so I can keep track of the bevel sizes according to blade thickness. Thanks for watching, good luck if you build one!

I've gone back and watched a few of the other videos and I have decided that out of several designs that I've considered, yours is the most practical. I'll definitely be giving it a try. Thanks for sharing your build.
Thank’s for this idea 👌👍 I’ll make it . 😅
Well done, I needed that
I can dig it. New sub
Nice job on the beveled edge, well done buddy. Thanks for the video.
Pretty sharp idea man, thanks for sharing, do you think that if you welded a flat bar to the bolts in the front of the jig you can then do away with the little clamp to secure the blade? Good video👌👍
That's a different way than what I have seen. Looks really good man
Instead grinding a slot for adjusting could have just tapped the hole and used the bolt with a wing nut. That would achieve a much finer adjustment. Overall a great and easy build
Great jig. Only issue is if you heat certain steel too much it will lose its temper or hardness. I will be borrowing this to adapt to my wet wheel. Great vid man! Thanks!
@450rmaniac

To clarify what I mean by heating the steel is the sanding of the steel when sharpening. The sand paper will cause the knife to heat quickly and potentially reduce blades hardness etc. Again, jig did its job great and if you take light passes heat may not be an issue.

It's definitely important to watch out for your heat treat after quenching and tempering. I make my bevels before all that so it's never been an issue. Thanks for watching! Appreciate it!

Came across your vid today , I'm well impressed , easy to follow instruction , and easy to build , just been out in the shed sorting out materials , got one on its way .... Thanks buddy .
Great video, and the music was nice too.
Made it and it worked great
Man that was a great jig i am building one for sure thank you!!!!
I am happy to hear you brother 💟
Great idea man, i'm about to do something similar and you gave me a great idea. Nice video and well explained 👌😉
Great jig. I am going to try it- thanks
That's good idea and very simple, thanks 😊👍
Very cool jig bro!
Awesome vid man. Thank you. This is going to be super helpful for me. 👍🏻
Nice and simple, allows for personal changes.
i love that jig. I will be making one.
As a new blacksmith in training, im terrible at grinding in my edges. This is the perfect tool for me to use till i get more practice in freeballing it.
Very nice work, video and narration. Thank you
great video nice fixture does the job well
Slick! Love it. Thanks for a great video!
Thanks bud!! I'm going hinge shopping tomorrow!
Great Video, I made my own following your example. Thank you!
Great idea and video.
Thank you for the video, I will put your jig into service in my shop. thank you very much for your help.
Thanks for the video, that is a very nice system you made.
brilliant simple and functional
Nice job, now I need to learn to weld.
Ingenious and I'm REALLY digging the music: excellent that good sir!
Great idea man!
Awesome I will try this thanks!!!!
Good job, and good luck with your knife making projects!
Excelente idea 👌
Looks good and easy to build.
It is the best guide I found, you are a genius, sorry for the mistakes, I do not speak English and use the translator
Awesome! I made something similar, but didn't put handles on it, handles seem like a huge upgrade as far as even pressure and control of the jig, nice build, btw I was looking forward to seeing y'all on ALONE, sucks that your brother jacked up his ankle, hope he's a'ight! Thanks again!
That is a kick ass jig. I might use various lengths of tube for the angle instead of washers. Nice work
