    Just glue it back together with CA, lap it, and use it. I have a half width naniwa 3k/8k I got it from a friend, and it broke while in the post in the middle. I glued it back together with CA, lapped both sides flat, and use it without any issues since then, and this is a stone without base. I am fairly sure you won't have any problems with the stone, mine was glued back maybe 3-4 years ago.

    Went to the old Ace hardware today to see what i could find to get started on the project. I think it's doable as you describe. Moreover, as shooter's info has made it easy for me to pop off the stone - there is nothing really to hold me back! Heck! I think I WILL be giving it a shot.

    BUT (and this isn't a cop-out)... There is one thing holding me back right now which is going to see me wait a bit.

    What pray tell lol? What else? Money. Cuz if I mess it up, after spending a fortune getting old Humi the humidor healthy and full of smokes again, I am a bit strapped for cash, and I would die if I blew it and couldn't replace the stones in a timely manor. Some of my favorite blades just don't like how I run them over a coti lol.

    That said - thanks for the inputs! I have been thinking about this for a while and I am going to get it done in a month or two I figure.

    Well, so much options!
    I have 3 Naniwa 12k (I k now, I know) so I could live with 2. Im considering selling the broken one but at the same time I love the barber hone idea.
    I think I could cut the stone with a water tile saw to make a nice straight cut.

    Thanks for the inputs!

    Maybe this would work. Remove the stone halves from the base. Rotate each half 180 degrees and bring the square ends together. You should have two square ends that match up and the original bottom surface of the stone should be facing down.

    Then glue what used to be the original top surface of the stone to the original [or new] base. When the glue is dry, lap the new top surface of the stone. I glue stones to wood bases using exterior grade liquid nail.
