Got new Naniwas to make a thicker 8k/12k combo one. Glued and lapped:

I heard that gluing can help to avoid the dreaded warp…

A couple homemade synths. This one survived.

Idwal. Very easy going to my delight.

 

[Pack line]

Couple more homemade synths. One did not fair too well coming out of the mold but all 3 survived the lapping process. Progress

Thuringian. A shapton 12000 eventually once I bring everything back out to do it since I forgot all about the thing

Two coticules

Relapping a homemade stone. It must have had too many potato chips and crack last night. This problems seems familiar for some reason. At least my binder is in good company.

Spent a few hours on the sidewalk and ultimately took about 1cm off this Hindostan. Then went to a glass plate + wet & dry to 400. It showed that I need to dilute my degreaser, so here it is marinating in its latest bath of water and a bit of purple extreme.

Coticule, shapton pro 12k.

My white Hindostan drying after lapping the dished side and its latest bath. The side with the notched corner sometimes comes out almost pure white, and sometimes more mottled. You can actually see how deep my soaks were penetrating on the lapped side. I will dilute a lot more from now on. I will continue to try to pull every last drop of oil out of this thing, because why not? But now I can let it dry and actually drag some steel across it. First impressions are that it is much faster than my other hindo.

They can be so tough to fully strip.. Some just don't want to know

Combo coticule

Shapton Glass progression with the Shapton Glass Diamond Plate. This plate leaves a really nice surface on these stones.

Resurfacing a couple of arks with 600 grit WD on a grantite surface plate.

Lapped a few new stones, a peach of a Karasu and a beautiful little natural join Escher and rubber. Have high expectations for both.

Fox 44 thuringian that someone managed to dish 1/64"ish in a dogbone in 15 days with knives and then have the nerve to blame the tools in a refund request saying it felt like steel wool and did nothing. Well, it feels like silk under the blades and bumped the edge I just put on it extremely well so I think the softness vs cost gave them buyer's remorse and they hid behind fabrications... On the blocked bidder list.. Swiftly... Fool me once...
