Thread: my Thuringian Quest...

Are you coming to the Mid-Mo get together? I think I remember you didn't want it at the end of the month because of your anniversary and then it got set for the end of the month. Hopefully your wife will be understanding, or at least tolerant. If you are coming, and if I manage to make it this time, then maybe we can compare Mullers....and Thuringians, and Nakayamas, and coticules!

Well of course! I mean, after you get one Nakayama, you have to ask yourself, maybe some other Nakayama might be better. Then of course if you get another and find that it is better, then you have to wonder if there might be one that is even more better. On the other hand, if you get another and find that it is not better, then that means that your first one was better, which still means that some are better than others and maybe the NEXT one you buy might be even more better!

In addition, though I have several Eschers, I don't have a brown Escher like you have so obviously I need to keep an eye out for one of those because they might be better than my Nakayama, or at least better than one of my Nakayamas, or if not, maybe some other brown Escher might be better than any of my Nakayamas and I still haven't tried Shaptons and who knows what some nutjob on this board is going to announce as the next best hone and can I really keep hiding rocks from my wife or tell her the truth about how much I paid for a ROCK but then again there may still be another Nakayame that is even better but then again Glen pointed out that maybe the key is the lower grit hones for bevel setting and maybe I need more hones in the 1K range and Jimmy was only missing 4 of the hones on Glen's list and I don't have any tattoes at all and it might be that if aliens came with better rocks from their planet that they might only give them to honemeisters with tattoes but they might not work as well as Bart's coticule for bevel setting but for a final polish I hear that DMT is going to come out with a 31K diamond plate right after they finish the 4k plate to fill in that gap and then it's likely that I'll have all the hones I need until Lynn comes out with another DVD.

Ron, that is just soooo funny!

Yeah, I am coming to the get-together. My anniversary can wait... actually the wife is cool with that, since I told her we would make it up at a later date. We aren't really sure when exactly we started dating anyhow, so the timeline is nebulous.

Hell, I'm ALWAYS looking for more hones... I have a problem, but admitting it is the first step. Right?

I would like to get some lower grit naturals myself, actually. But that will probably have to wait.
