Thread: How do you store your hones ?

Do you perform your honing on that table as well?

I have a small plastic box/well for my Nortons and the rest sit on a nice secure shelf once dry. I am going to cover the shelf with some of that no skid material you find in the shelf paper section of the store or some rubber sheet or both. Yeah both ,,,,,be right back :<0)

kitchen cabinet. Convenient since I hone in front of the kitchen sink.

I let them air dry and typically store them in here:

You need to put that stand in front of the sofa,,attach a cup holder to one side & on the other side a little basket to hold some chips.

Seeing as I now have a full compliment I bought this case:




It is a close fit but I can get everything in including my loupe and a roll of tape, I have a small pair of scissors too but they have gone missing.
I travel a lot so wanted something strong and padded so that I don't have to worry too much about having them in my case.
I may well get rid of the 10k as it is somewhat superfluous now I have an 8 and 12k.

No I bought it from jaycar, but altronics would do a similar case, bunnings have yellow ones but they are $15 more expensive.
It is designed as a carry case for test instruments or similar. The grey foam is from Clark rubber.

Lucky B------ I would never get that one past my wife ! She would say "The kitchen is for preparing and cooking food - not for doing your rubbish hobbies ! "
I know, I have a lot to put up with ; bless her- she's got her good points too !

I don't believe him with ammount of hones gone through his hands. Unless the cupboard is made out of solid oak and bolted to the bedrock.
