Sink Bridge For Waterstone

Today we will build a sink bridge for Waterstone Sharpening system

We started by sketching an initial design and decided to build it from single fence plank

We cut the top and bottom base boards

Cleaned up the sides and made support pices

We do the initial setup before gluing it up

We set up the fence to cut the middle slot for the tension screw using scrap wood

Setup looks good, we can proceed with actual cut

Notice that we drilled holes to mark the slot ends, to prevent the wood from splitting

No Idea why I switched the support block.

We finish the slot with chisel. I love sharp tools

Time to finish up the project with final processing

I love working with sharp hand plane

Time to glue it up

Make sure everything is square

Final assembly test before finishing

And finishing takes just a second :)

Here is how I use it with various Waterstons, over the sink

Thank you for watching
