awesome job, Icedog! I've been determined to craft my own hardwood Shapton box for my stones and GDLP going on a few months now. My Shapton 6000 grit (just for fun) arrived today. That means.........I'm the 30K away from having all grits from 500 on up. Shame on me!
Very nice design. Thanks for posting that.

I've tried to get him interested but he only wants the tennis ball that is behind the box. Originally Posted by Traveller

Thanked: 0 Just bought the Veritas pond....nice if your not carpenterically inclined.
I took the easy way out and bought the Veritas Stone Pond. It comes with Silicon Carbide grit to lap your stones when they eventually need it, and the pond braces two stones at a time, but if you're innovative, you can make it hold three simultaneously. I use it with my Norton 4k/8k, and my Shapton Cream colored 15k and my purple 30k. BTW, some folks are partial to non-stainless steel due to its easier stropping characteristics. I was convinced that the shave I got from my Bergischer Löwe was impossible to beat. Then I honed my stainless M.O.P DOVO in stages..Norton 8k, Belgian ~12k, Shaptom 15k, then the Shapton 30K. My GOD...that bevel wll cut through a dense Italian beard without a complaint (mine). And after 25 shaves, it still does not require rehoning..but I've been very careful to strop, linen to leather, and the results are great. Just have to be very careful where you lay that razor. A bevel cut at 30k can cut skin cells clear in half, with clean cuts through the mitochondria! But I will say, I love the ingenuity of your home made stone holder/lap system. Somehow, homemade projects make the hobby (any hobby) much more enjoyable.
