If you're looking for ideas for making sharpening jigs, go to Darrel Feltmate's "Around The Woods" wood turning site @ http://www.aroundthewoods.com/sharp.shtml
I reckon that this is what you are looking for. Darrel has very kindly posted his jigs with instructions on their manufacture for all to use.
Oneway Manufacturing in Canada also have the Wolverine sharpening system.

Also, do a search here at the Ubeaut Woodwork Forums . I reckon that there'd be several posts on this subject,
plus , do a Google search for "woodturning tool sharpening jigs" or similar.
Regards,
Barry.

I use the Tru- Grid system when it want to conpletely regrind / reprofile my turning tools and its available in Canada. Used to use it all the time but touching up the edge i now do by hand.

If you sill want to make your own then the Woodcut site and the downloadable videos will give you an idea of what you need to get form your jigs.

here you go a bit more info. When it comes to sharpening turning tools Richard Raffan maintains theres only one rule.Was just looking around for some tool sharpening jigs and wasnt haveing much luck, i figured some of you guys would have something set up at your bench grinder if you dont mind post some pics to give me a general idea of where to even start to try an make one
Theres no rule
we are all different and generally fiddle around with the idea until it suits us. As to jigs, there heaps a round from the very simple, to the very complicated. If you join your local chapter/guild/club they give first rate advise and hands on experienceInspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

Some minds are like concrete thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.
