I use a large metal (I think aluminum) baking tray from Wal-Mart paid $3.00 for 3 different sizes so I took the largest. I place the tray on a folded towel on the counter with the the stone holder in it. All the water stays in the tray and if any gets out it just goes on the towel.

I use one of those in front of the tv small folding dinner tables,
a rag to absorb the water and it works just fine.
-
I have a towel with a plastic bag (grocery) underneath. I think that a tray of sorts would be a better choice than mine.

I hold the hone in my left hand - never hone on a table - just can't control it that way for some reason.

The big wood block is placed in the center & can be adjusted to have a level, upward, or downward angle. It has a drain that goes into a coffee can in the back.

I don't generally place my hones on a table or anything, I hold them in my hand while I hone. I do however lay a towel on the surface below (my lap, table, etc.) where I am doing the honing to catch anything that may drip.
I used to use the plastic case that my norton hones came in but I find it easier to hone with them in my hand.

Good input everybody.
I think eventually I'll make some sort of hardwood mount that integrates the moats and the rims on each side to stabilize it. All I need to do now is stop being terrible at honing.
-
I usually hold my hones in my hand over a sink, so any run off just goes right into the sink!
If I'm sitting down I use a wooden chopping board with a tea towel on it to catch the water.

I bought a 12 pack of terryclotrh shop towels at WalMart and lay one on top of a piece of rubberized shelf liner. Then the hone on top of that.
Virtually non-slip and no mess...............:beer2:
