Thread: Wife approved honing station !!!

This way I can have my most used stones ready in a few seconds, and much more importantly, get them into a safe place equally fast.

As my wife is a tailor by education, she has a work-station of sorts in one corner of the living room.
I just set my bucket, bridge and stoneholder on that when I wanna do some honing.
Easy to clean up, and the Mrs. are much happier. Those two things are strangely related somehow...

Hi Birnando
Do you think you have enough stones?

Maybe is wasn't the stones all over the house but the number of stones that caused the issue.

The number of stones I have is a problem for me. I've got maybe a dozen or fifteen. That's too many, since I feel the obligation to use them all at some point, even though some seem definitely preferable to others. But I figure if I get some more, that will solve the problem.

After a friendly reminder that I had stuff all over the kitchen table, I decided to make good on the storage bag.
I had this bag already and now it's been put to good use. Room for a few more stones or accessories if needed.
