Not sure what FOG is but this one has more info and better pics.
Planer knife sharpening jig - DIYWiki
There are hundreds of others on line too as all you really want is something to hold the blades at the right angle. While on angles its best to go a degree or two higher than the bevel so as make a micro bevel. that means you can sharpen them a lot faster as there is less metal to rub away. I was about a degree the wrong way so the first sharpen took ages.

I only flatten as in removing the burr using a 1000 diamond plate. I usually use 360 or 400 then 600 turn the jig over and a quick rub with the diamond plate. I guess the whole thing could be done with the diamond stone one or two times but a large flat surface qurantees a strait edge. If they are bad then go more agressive grits. When I realised my mistake with the angle that first time I got an old 80g sanding belt to start with then work through the grits. After they are sharp it's best to do them before they get real blunt then its quite quick to do. You can seriously get a better edge on them than when new.

Yoboseyo, why not include some pictures to show us your pain!
Is this the devil wood I gave you?
If so, I miss that stuff. It was one of my all time favourites. I was going to build the Workbench From Hell with it

Hi Yoboseyo
I have two sets of blades for my thicknesser.
I use a lot of salvaged timber which often contains foreign bodies - nails, stones, dirt, shells, etc - and I use my old or sacrificial blades for this rough work. They get hand sharpened on course diamond stones, only. I do not care if I knick these blades.
When I have good surfaces and I am sure that there are no hidden dangers I switch to my smoothing blades.
Cheers
Graeme

I prefer to think of it as a scrub plane.
I have used a hand held electric planer to flatten one face of a long board in just the same way as you would with a scrub plane; using winding sticks and the Mk1 eyeball to get one face flat enough I could put it through a planer. Worked great.
In the case we are talking about here; I would use it in the same way I described, then through the planer to get it close; and perhaps a drum sander to finish up because of the timber hardness.

If its dry CKI its pretty tough on any cutting edge so good luck planing & thicknessing it.
