Protecting the Shapton Investment
Hi my name is Icedog and I'm a Shaptonaholic.
I got the HAD real bad and bought the entire Glass Stone line plus the Glass Diamond Lapping Plate (GDLP). Not being thrilled with the little cardboard boxes in which the Glass Stones are sold, I designed and Built this box for the stones and GDLP:

(I am awaiting my last three stones). The box also holds my nice Belgian stone set and my diamond lapping paste and my strop treatment stuff. In the next picture:

you can see that I used my quarter inch glass lapping plate as a lid. My original design called for a half inch glass plate but I wanted to hurry up and get this done So I will modify it when the half inch plate gets in. Anyway, Basil likes it, what do you kids think?
