Sharpening jig

Any suggestions for a good quality sharpening jig for short chisels? I
have a couple of Veritas jigs that I use when I can, but they won't
permit the sharpening of short blades, particularly at shallow angles.

Practice it freehand. It's not too difficult... even I can do it!

It isn't cheap, but it really works well on short chisels. It isn't for
sharpening, just honing. For sharpening, I have a home made jig. I haven't
seen a good jig for sharpening short chisels.
