Well, I've just learnt one thing about lapping hones. Dont let them slip out of your wet hands over a metal sink.

I was just lapping my brand new set of Shaptons and I managed to knock the 8000 on the side of the aforementioned sink and the glass shattered. That stupid mistake cost me $75 for a new one...

I've tried to re-lap it but its bowed slightly and you can hear the glass moving (read crunching slightly) when its being lapped, and I'm not prepared to chance it with a razor. Besides which, I dont want a brand new set of hones with one of them broken just coz I'm a muppet.

I'm absolutely gutted, I was really looking forward to dragging out my restore project this weekend and giving it a hone.... And I'm really p*ssed off at myself for making such a stupid error.
