I wanted to upgrade from a cheap chinese eclipse honing guide but I wasn't ready to spend enough to get a veritas, so I tried making my own.

With the dovetail I uploaded as an .stl file you'll get a jig that will house blade as wide as 61mm in the top portion (36mm in the lower), while still be able to clamp 4mm chisels (the smallest one I've got, maybe it will work with a 3mm too). So you can use it for almost any blade between 3mm and 61, depending on which grip you use. I'm attaching also some bevel gauges for 25 and 30 degrees, both for the bottom (chisel) and top (planes) clamps. I also designed an adjustable gauge with, in this order, slots for 30 and 25 degrees for chisels, 30 and 25 for planes (needs an additional M3 bolt) and it also has some holes to screw it down.

To use these gauges see this video at 18:20: https://youtu.be/ip_MHACrqKs?si=Svac7qw-GaFb_KzI&t=1102

I'm attaching .step files so you can edit it, if you improve something please let me know!

Materials needed:

• threaded M4 rod (around 100mm)
• unthreaded 4mm rod (2 pieces, same length as the M4 rod) (can be replaced with a threaded rod but it will be less smooth/stiff)
• 2/6 M4 threaded inserts (I'm using M46,05,0) depending if you want to use some additional jaws on top of the jig (see below)
• some M4 nuts and washers (2 of each should be enough)
• 1 M6 rod/bolt (long at least as much as the M4 rod) and some nuts
• Some bearings, I'm using 696zz (6x15x5 mm)

If you have any question/request just let me know!

EDIT: Following some suggestions on reddit I've added a new version of the left body (Body_SX V2), with rounded jaws that should make it easier to clamp the blades. I also updated the step files
