Hi
I've been a Japanese water stone user since the early 80's. I plan to keep using them for certain certain situations (fast removal of metal), but I've switched to oilstones for the most part.
What I'd like is to see is how oilstone users set up a honing station (pics very welcome), and how you deal with the dirty oil produced.
I have a 3 stone setup and I'm thinking along the lines of a cookie sheet screwed to a melamine shelf. Then a cleat on the bottom of the whole setup to secure it in my bench vise.
I thought I'd tap your brains before heading off to re-invent the wheel
