Oh absolutely - in no way was I even remotely knocking the set-up - in fact, I admire it so much I'm probably going to copy it - but since I'm not into sharpening knives, I was just thinking out loud of how it could be even further modified. I like making tools for which I can neither afford or for which do not exist...it satisfies the inventor in me.

Again, Charlie, I think your setup is sweet, and a great example of what a little ingenuity can achieve!
