This same concept could be applied to various short and difficult to hold irons. I built the box/stand for my WS3K (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?110185-Worksharp-Stand-and-Storage&highlight=Worksharp%2C+WS3K) back in 2009. I added a shop made adjustable wide blade attachment around the first of the year -

I needed to touchup my LA spokeshave iron and wanted to try the Worksharp this time. I cut a slot in a squared up piece of ash, countersunk and threaded some screw holes to pinch the iron and had at it. Surprisingly, it worked very well. The screws act as stops to keep the iron square when mounting so drill them accurately. Any angle jig or even free hand could work for this.
