I do mine the same way. I use hose clamps to hold the file to the bar and carpenters string chalk on the file, helps to eliminate fillings getting stuck in the file.
I love your jig. I'm wondering when you would change the location of the eyebolt, given that the height adjustment seems to cover quite a range, and you could go even lower (less angle) by counter sinking the hole the eyebolt screws into, down to virtually zero degrees.
@aviweisbach7816 when I made it I wanted to be as versatile as possible. If you wanted to put a bevel on an ax, for example, you could move it forward.
Thanks for a very informative video. I'm wondering if as you are filing are the sides of the file also filing away the blade stop bolts. I'm thinking that would create issues for the plunge lines?
