Quick Morning Projects - Phone Stand and Belt Sander Angle Jigs

Since I am getting into the blogging a little heavier, I needed a way to make some quick videos. I have a camera on my phone, but it is difficult to get good angles with it unless someone is holding it. I got the chop saw out and cut a groove at 90 and 95 degrees. One lets me shoot horizontal and the other lets me slightly up or down.

I also got a belt sander to sharpen the knives with, but my fine grit belt and leather belt have not come in yet. The only thing I have right now is an 80 grit belt. I made a few jigs at 15, 20, 25, and 30 degrees to hold the proper angle. After using them though, I think that it would be best to learn to freehand at the correct angles except with the greater angles like 30 degrees. I tested a junk fillet knife on the 15 degree angle and it sucked the knife down between the belt and jig. The chisel on the 30 degree angle worked good though.
