To Marcus's point, the accessories in the photo above--the Honing Guide ($58), Camber Roller ($22), and Skew Registration Jig ($28)--are needed (or arguably not needed) either way, whether you buy a Stanley, Lie-Nielsen, Veritas, or make your own woodie. They are optional costs above and beyond the rehab supply expenses included in my original rant ($185). I bought them to make sure I get the angles right and consistent.
