Power hone? Lindsay templates???
Thanks,

Bram i have serious doubts that with this templates you can sharp a graver correctly,i haven't grs collects because i don't use it,but looking the photos of that collects that you say use for hold the graver in the template i have some questions,the holes of the collects are round or square? if are round holes the graver will be in axisis when you hold it with the screw?Because if not when you sharp it this method can't work,and for resharp the graver find the right posiction will be very hard and very slow (the same problem that you will have with a beading holder) ,maybe i'm wrong but i won't ask before to resolve my dudes.
Hey
All the way i think that for newbies,like in this post are asking,is not the best solution made your own templates,because to make some decent tool that can work you will spent a lot of time and finally you will spent the same money (if you are luck) like buying directly a existent template of fixture system.
When i started i bought all my tools gravers, hammer, sharpening stone,loupe and vice for something like 100€. The first month was hard i don't admit but know i'm independent of all this stuff.
