New toy my friend made for me. It holds all the stones and then when I go wash them at the end of the day just carry it over to the sink.

Wow Phil that is a great idea? I never even thought of that? When I clean them with Bar Keepers Friend no matter how well I rinse there is always a chalky residue left. One step better is if it were removable and washable?
Seeing as you are my special friend and I owe you I will see about getting one made?

Fantastic idea here !

I am looking at doing something very similar when I get around to building my sharpening station in a special spot I’ve picked out in my basement. Basically, I have a large piece of shelving that is covered with Formica ( sp ? ) that I am going to use a piano hinge to attach to the studded walls in my basement, putting some fold up logs on the front of it, and I am going to add a couple of boards on each side of the table ( much the same design as here ) using dowel rods to hold all the stones / strops……..I will post a pic whenever I get it done…………if I can find the time to even build it. 😉

That is a great idea. Very cool.

Are the rods aluminum or something else?

Just some stainless steel rod bought in the local Miners/Ace hardware store. He was going to use brass but could not find any so went with the stainless.
