    Default found a use for a cigar box

    well since one time i was honing and watching tv and dropped the remote on my 1k nani and chipped it with the plastic remote i been thinking about building a box out of wood to place all my hones in since i realize how fragile that really are ... but until then i needed a bed for my coticule .. i thought about buying one of the wooden boxes they make per size for the coti's but remembered i had this laying around ...
    now i dont have have to keep my coticule under my pillow at night ...

    I put foam blocks in mine to help secure it from sliding around

    Gooser, good idea. I have some cigar boxes that are used to store the Carborundums that I use on a regular basis.
    Also, Birnando gave us an idea of keeping our hones in a gun case. I have one of those with my best hones in it, based on his idea, great for traveling.
    I will post photos & a link to Birnando's case, later when I get back home.

    that is a great idea , i have a bunch of hard foam lined gun cases i could use ... i have them all just in a box and slid under the bed now but ive been scared to death after chipping the 1k with a plastic tv remote ...

    Gooser,
    Here's the link to the thread that Birnando started on hone travel kits.
    http://straightrazorpalace.com/hones...it-honing.html

    Here is my main travel kit & the cigar boxes are my active hones for knives, etc.

    Wow what a good way to travel with some hones.
    And not worry about them breaking.
    I would make a box for razor hones and one for machinist stones.

    I'm looking for some foam as I have a 7 drawer humidor that I want to use for my straights. I'm not ready at the moment but when I get some down time I'm gonna go for it.
