There was another similar thread/video where a person put their hone on a bottle cap or something similarly small under the hone and honed like that. The idea is the same - you have avoid applying too much torque to tip the hone, which forces light pressure.
If you have a hone on a base, instead of trying to take it off, you can just take a rectangular piece of anything about one inch wide, lay it across under your hone's base (to make a +), and do essentially the same thing. Or if you want to go even lower tech, take two pencils and lay them about an inch (or whatever distance you want) apart from each other and place the hone over top of that (like a + with two horizontal lines).
