Chisel Square & Saw setup angles

[GT-6 Racer]

Here’s a couple of neat little projects. My friend is a carpenter that does some fine work. Sharpening wood chisels to a square edge is important. I made him a little aluminum square to check chisels without dulling them.
setting saws to square and common angles are also interesting. A couple of little setup angles help with that.

Really nice job!! I am going to guess that he lays them on top to look the edge and see if straight. What degrees are the angles? Looks like 45.

Yes for the chisels it’s to make sure the cutting edge stays square to the shank during sharpening. The saw setup angles are 45’s, also did a 30/60/90 but no pictures of it before I gave it away.

I have a good collection of homemade angles using the DRO method on the mil by Jo Pi. But I got to admit none of them looks that good! I think I will make some like yours to use in my wood working. I just use wood block right now.

I lake making tools, especially using them to learn new techniques and skills. I’d say go for it.
