Of all the jigs I've used I believe it is the most elegant and so simple to use.
Although it is dedicated to only one profile grind, there is some room to play with the angle & length of the bevel.
Like all jigs it has pros & cons. For my preferences, it does not produce a very friendly grind on some of the heavier cross sectioned "detail gouges" due to the depth of steel below the flute. However I haven't used another jig that produces as better grind profile on "detail gouges" either. Works nicely on "skewchi gouges" if you like them.Mobyturns

Hmm... had a look for it Hughie and couldn't find it. I must have given it away to someone sometime ago.
Sorry to have made an offer of what I no longer have.... should have looked first...
However, the concept is simple enough for you to make your own version.... with your eyes closed!
It is just a sleeve inside a sleeve with a pin in the inner sleeve that rides on the profile cut from the outer sleeve. Here is an old sideways photo of it from when I was attempting to use it in fixed mode with a leg like an Ellsworth jig.

And, here it is seen from the top...

The cut-out in the outer sleeve is replicated on the gouge.
I may have played around with reshaping the cut-out to better suit my preferred bowl gouge edge profiles, but it didn't fit any of my larger gouges, so I just moved on to making my own Ellsworth style jig for those...

Then progressed through a swing arm version to fit my smaller bowl gouges...

And finally settling on the Woodcut Tru-grind jig. Although I have also played about with a 3D printed version of that style of jig and that has been surprisingly good. The advantage there is that I can get one of my grandsons to print me any variations I would like of that...
