re: Sharpening Hones Box

Andy, I like the skate pretty well, but I don’t see the point of the bar, since that makes it just like most of the other guides. The whole reason I bought the NanoHone skate was to do the side-sharpening thing, and while the bar still allows that, it seems to be aimed at people who don’t want that. Oh well, I never claimed to understand the ways of marketing. I’m just going to be cranky when I wear out my wheels and can’t get a replacement.

Thanks, Rob! One of my theoretical careers while at university (my first through third or fourth sophomore years, if I remember correctly) was physicist.

Thanks, Brian. When I lived in Minnesota, in the summer, I could wet down the water stones and they would stay wet for a day or two. Here in the desert, they’re dry minutes later and therefore I never use them, so yeah, I’m pondering a pond. I thought about the Veritas pond but why I would want more plastic in my wood shop escapes me. More marketing misunderstanding, I guess.
