Chris, I gotta tell you that I put my waterstones aside and ordered a set of India stones last week. I have a set of crank neck Bucks that are seriously out of flat and I needed something coarse that would do the job. I was getting dubbing using coarse sandpaper. Correcting that and getting to flatness has been a job, but it’s coming along. They’ll be followed by soft and hard Arkansas and a Belgian Coticule I picked out of a bucket for $5 at PATINA a couple of years ago.

Besides, when I re-enact an 1812-era joiner I use Arkansas stones. My usual sequence in the shop has included waterstones and ends with microabrasive paper, so I don’t have the best of all worlds, I think I have all worlds, period.

A lot of words to say don’t feel bad about picking up oilstones that you like. You WILL be using them at some point in the future.

less than 26 inches. Can you share some details of the Lodi vise?
Thanks!

Too funny.

Chris, can we get some pics of this awesome saw vise?

Funny how your eyes and brain pick up on deliciousness.

I can tell how it lures me in away from everything that i love about woodworking. Ahhhhhhh, beer :)
