Hone Clamps?

I'm looking for a "hone clamp" (I guess that's right, I can't find one, so I may be wrong on that name). It's a base with two threaded rods and three hard rubber components which clamp on the edges of the hone. Gets it up off the table and holds it stead. Where can I find one?

I promise, I looked at all of my usual places - lots of hones, or brand-specific stands, but not that generic, adjustable hone clamp.

Pointers?

Check out Woodcraft, I think you want "stone holders" . . .

Most good woodworking stores should have them too. Online, Japanese Woodworker, Lee Valley and Woodcraft come to mind. I recommend staying away from the ones that use springs to secure the hone. Also, don't get the DMT one unless you plan to use it only with DMT hones.

By the way, since you have Spydies, in a pinch you can keep them in their case (maybe jig something to one side of the case so the hone doesn't move), and hone next to the edge of a desk. The rubber feet on the case helps prevent the hone from moving.
