Thread: Made my own Leather Bench Strop/Hone

Thanks,

I'll let you know tonight ...... I was going to do it just like I did my CrOx and see how that works, the instructions for doing that are in the Wiki under strops....

Mmmmmm....nice, Glen. Keep us posted.

Chris if you could post your instructions that you send out with your CrOx in the Wiki too that would be fantastic!!!!! Yours are very very well writen....

If you know what the ingredients are for the liquid medium in the .25 micron diamond spray bottle, you could whip up a batch of that and add your Cerium Oxide powder and spray it onto the strop. I think there is alchohol in it because it dries on the leather very fast.

If anyone knows what the formula is for that spray liquid, please post it......

gssixgun, you made nice and convenient bench hone.
I use similar.

Glen,

Did you ever apply the CrOx to your strop? Let us know how you did it and how it worked! -->Tod

Thats a very nice bench strop Glen. Curious to see what ya think about the CeOx...might have to send ya a couple razors for sharpening.

I'll do a separate thread on the Ce Ox powder there are several of us using it right now, the initial results are fantastic...

If that's "redneck" that's one awesome hue of red. If gssixgun doesn't make any more to put up for sale in the classifieds at some point, I'm going to have to make one of these. I bet these would go really fast in the SRP Classifieds, specially if there were other models like a leather/fabric or a leather/ Balsa wood sided option.

You might PM Doc and see if he has some of his 4 siders left,,, because the chances of me making more of these are rather slim Too many restores too little time
