I now have a complete set of Shapton sharpening stones, I'm really liking these stones.....(yes that is a gloat!)
All lined up with my glass plate and sandpaper for flattening and a holder for the stones, as well as a pan to try to keep most of the goo in check.
#120, #220, #320, #1000, #2000, #5000, #8000, #12000 then a chunk of MDF with the diamond paste from Lee Valley which is 1-micron and is maybe close to a #30000 stone...?
It all packs into this carry box...
and with a couple of straps, that I still have to get, the holder and plate will fit right on top.
I have the Shapton Diamond lapping stone coming, yeah I know it is pricy, but I'm spending a lot of my time keeping my hand tools sharp, so I figured I might as well splurge, I'll certainly get a lot of use out of it.
Cheers!
