How do you stabilize your hone?
How do you stabilize your hone on your worktop or table top? My hones always tend to slide and even turn round on the table top when I push the razor across them regardless how little pressure I use. I have seen all sorts of clamps and other clever contraptions used. However I like simplicity and bought this yesterday: CKS Hot Mat ---

You must hone a lot faster than I do. I never have a problem with my hones getting hot.

I just set down a kitchen towel underneath all my hones. Catches dripping water, and holds them in place just as well as $100 fancy-pants hone holders made of high-grade tool-steel and ultra-vulcanized rubber.

Heh .. I use a pantleg from an old pair of jeans I made into shorts.
Granted it isnt high tech, but it works for me.

I use a generic stone holder - Buy Stone Holders at Woodcraft.com It's also really nice to give you additional clearance under thin (top to bottom, I mean) hones.

I have only one objection to that stone holder. It literally stinks. Originally Posted by holli4pirating
