 Ok Lawren no problem I try my best to explain how i made it.

This is made from left over piece that I had or my grandfather had laying around.The large bolts and nuts.

This first pic its the pieces.



Next one is the base piece.I used some scrap plate . I find a piece of pipe that looked about the right size. I found a big bolt and nut the looked right and long enought. Drilled the same size in the pipe of the bolt.The little piece of metal that on the bolt is a spacer.The base is screwed down with deck screws .


The bolt has a piece of round stock welded on for simple use. the bolt goes like this.



Next I used square tubing. Drilled a hole the same size of the bolt that I threaded the nut all the way down the threads then Spot welded the corners of the nut to the tubing.The used screwed the bolt the finished welding the nut. Then i welded another piece of round stock on this bolt.



I then found a piece of scrap leaf spring , Drilled a hole the same size of the bolt i showed on the first pic. then welded the nut to it . then welded the  leaf spring on to the square tubing



It goes together like this , you can tighten the bolt at any postion to sand the handle of the blade.



Next you can use pieces of wood blocks. I am useing the stuff that lawren sent me and i can not spell but the stuff they use for wetsuits.




I slide the block all the way and then tighten the bolts up.I sand the handle back and forth. Like polishing your shoes
