That should be all you need :shifty:. I have not used the stuff you linked, it may be a better mousetrap. There are some pretty good discussions on sharpening here on the forum, here is one of them http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1258

I don't use sharpening jigs...but I am a total sucker for shop made gadgets and whatnots (layout tools, wooden mallets...). I just had to make one like yours, it will most likely set on the shelf in my shop and draw dust. But it does work, works well in fact, I tried it. It holds the iron very firmly, I have a short iron from a box plane in the picture. I am going to have to say to anyone looking at some $200 sharpening system to help you if you don't know how to sharpen :no: Give this little 1/2 hour project a try first :thumbsup:.
