DerekC just tried turning my Shapton over and it didn't work so great :/

It probably would if you STARTED on the glass side, THEN turned it over....

It was a joke from the Kenosha meetup that Utopian was present for.

I admit it, I've told the story a couple of times

but have never mentioned any names!

Same here.


Upon watching Utopian hone on a shapton glass stone, one of the attendees quickly realized he had been honing on the wrong side of the hone. It explained why he was getting terrible results.

In his defense, they ARE called GLASS Stones. As I pointed out to him at the meetup, I am certain that he is not the only person to make that mistake. He was simply the only person I had available to mock in person! On the bright side, just that small bit of information about which side of the hone to use certainly made the meetup worthwhile for him!

I didn't actually use the glass side, little bit of sarcasm.
I did chuckle a little at the story though.
and meeting people and having someone guide helped a lot, one of these days i might be able to meet up with some people, but there is no one close to me.

Congrads Pink. Someone is looking out for you.

It's just nice to see.

I couldn't agree more.
