Got my 12K today and...

The 12K Naniwa S.S. came in the mail today. I had this plan for it and I finally got the chance.
I had bought a 12" square piece of Granite Tile to lap on with sandpaper before I got my DMT. Now it just sits and I just try not to break it. I had ordered the 12K Naniwa in the thinner version. 3/8 thick cost a lot less and figured I'd never ware thru it using it for personal use only. So when the Rock showed up today I called a friend of mine who is a tile layer and he brought over his saw. Cut the granite to the same size as the 12K and I used the clear epoxy that I use when installing my knots in brushes to glue the two pieces together.

Now I have a 3/4" thick stone that will fit the hone clamp easy and be high enough to not give me any problems when honing. I had read that Glen glues some of his stones so I figured if its good for Glen... And white granite to match.

Dude! Your batting a thousand today! Keep it coming!...:beer1:

Thanks for the heads up on the strokes. I hope to give it a try tomorrow.

All I want to know is, "How in the heck do you fit into that little truck?" :hmmm:

Begins with a close shave I imagine. :p

Being a Truck Driver I got to be good at thinking Light. Feathers, fluff, pillows... Especially when I get closer to the scales house. So, its the same type of thing. Think Small. Without the little blue pills. ha.
