Matt, I have the same problem on thinner chisels and irons. Though it took a lot of practice, I can now hold the 1/2, 3/8, & 1/4 chisels square. The ones that give me problems are my 1/8 chisel and my Record 043 plough plane irons. I haven’t found a jig that looks as if it will hold something that narrow. I do recall seeing in Aldren Watson’s book on tools that he gave the design for a shop-made jig for plough plane irons so I may give that a try. I’ll let everyone know how it does.
