Bin working on a end mill grinding fixture is a compilation of ideas from Philip Duclos shop wisdom and Harold Halls grinding book plus a little bit of pottyengineering.

Thanks for the "food for thought"! It's time I got back to my Clarkson, stops and tooling to make!

Thanks again for posting, regards, Matthew.

Harold Hall has a drill sharpening jig in his book, I may have a go at it some time.

Cheers
