Thread: Naniwas with or without stand?

My 1-12 are on stands. the 3-8 are a combination stone. glued together. my 5K and 400 are without stands. and the 20K suehiro came with a stand. I've been thinking about gluing the 5K and the 400 together to give a little more height. clearance for the hand you know. I really prefer stands to keep my hands from hitting the table top.

The first batch of Naniwas that I had were with stands and the second without stands. I prefer using a clamp holder. Another alternative is to cut a 2x4 to the right length and glue some meshed non slip matting to it. The hone will sit on top and give you all the clearance you need without having to bother with clamping and unclamping.

That's a pretty simple fix. I may do one for mine when I get to the point I need em again. I like a good 2-3 inches clearance so that would do perfectly.
