Found it Alan!

It is Brand new really cus I only used it once to try it out and didnt like it!  but it doesn't look brand new any more cus I did carry it about for a bit so  it got knocked bout so got scratches on the surface  but its only cosmetic.  Then got left in the shed gathering dust!  Im never going to use it so you might as well have it if you want it still!

In the woodpeckers site they say the jig is made in England...
The one I used did not have play in it and I didnt find it too akward to use.

But I guess you got a good deal!  

No play?!?!

Ofc there was some but you need to learn the right technique to use it.
Just putting the blade on there and just jerking the handle wont work.

You need to "control" the jig. You need to apply down- and sideward pressure to keep it in check.
I dont have one myself, wasnt too impressed and rarely need to sharpen blades outside my workspace.

Dont bother with the trend, it certainly isnt fast,

Go for this, the worksharp 2000

Ive had mine now for 2 years, and every carpenter mate of mine is blown away with how easy it is and how fast.

there are also abrasive dealers in the uk that sell better stick on abrasives and cheaper for it
