Wet and dry is all good when I can get a flat workspace. Trouble is when I hone I do it in front of the PC. And my PC desk has lost some of the Lacquer top. Meaning it swells in spots. It's fine to use stones on it, but it's not a good surface to lap on. I'm wanting something I can use without needing to go off downstairs and use the kitchen worktop, Or into the shed to get the steel table out. I'm thinking about winter here and the fact in winter I'll only be in the shed to cut the rock. I have another set of plans to modify my saw so it's going to cut cleaner and further reduce my lap out times.

I was hoping the longer stone would mean I can just sit at my desk with a bottle of water and some towels and finish the stones. I'm not going to buy it blind tho unless I can return it.
