All I can say is ME TOO!

I've wondered about how to make my own barber hone but I sure as hell never got as far as you did. Meaning, you DID something! That is a great effort and I would love to buy/try one!

No offense to Glen and a few others, but I consider you to be the innovator of the year given your barber hone and your grinder designs!

Hat's off to you both...

Gahh, if you are starting a list, add me as well.

That is very very cool.

What process did you use for teh barber hone? I have been experimenting on this and have been able to make solid SiC buy burning sandpaper grit in fuel rich KNFO/ANFO (fuel rich slows it down some), and it leaves lumps of solid slag that I strongly suspect is contaminated with K2CO3, though I think this will not be bad as it is softer than steel. None the less, how do you make it in such a nice shape?

For the record, Charlie, if you choose for whatever reason to refrain from sharing your processes for the time being or into the future, it's fine in my book. To me there are different types of info such as technique ("I make my pins [this way]" or "I sand my blades like this" versus product. If this works, you've got something cool here and I say run with it!

Absolutely awesome work! I look forward to seeing more versions of both types. Your progress so far is most incredible!

Inlisting if I may!

That ChrOx hone is just cool!
I was working a lot with shellac in my hat maker years.
How did you incorporate it?

Now that's thinking out of the box!! Way to go!! I'm interested in readingyour followups! Keep them coming please.

I have not much done much with the hones recently, the project has been on the back burner from my end. I have been working on other things in the shop recently. I will get back to the hones, If I work too long on one thng it starts to seem like work.
