Flattening Water Stones

288 ? Too many stones.

Many of them are paving slabs. How does everybody flatten their paving slabs BTW? It seems a bit crazy to just keep piling them up when one perfectly flat one is all that is required. If I spread them out I suppose it'd save on grass cutting.

Apparently 'tis another can of worms as hotly debated as Sharpening Techniques and, can be either depending on your chosen medium (method).

Dear Stu,

I have done you a favor, and looked up the different issues of JIS R6001.


The grain size is determined with the electrical resistance test method. Sedimentation test method yields a little larger sizes.

I am unable to find the changes you have mentioned earlier.

"Flesh for fantasy", so to speak... :wink:

Have a nice day,

Well, that IS interesting. That's the very first listing I've seen with those figures, anywhere.

Where did you find it?

And why should I believe that this single example is correct, when every other example I've ever seen says differently?

I really, REALLY hope you understand this. I cannot in good conscience believe a single source that you have supplied without ANY suggestion as to where it's come from to be the truth.

Help me here, please.

In fact, don't. I really don't have the energy to debate with you any more. Sorry.

Stu.

Dear Anthony,

Yes it is a perfect day, spring in full bloom, and the sun shines... Come on April, lay beside me. :wink:

Have a nice day,

János

It's all in Japanese, but if you can work it out, it gives the size of abrasive as well as the allowable tolerance according to the standard. It's the best example I know of, and matches my printed paper version which is the standard. No fudging.

And this is from him. too:

It is worth looking at the links below:

Perhaps Stu will believe it for himself, albeit he never ever seen that before, you know. :wink:

Have a nice day,

János

I used the garden path, paving stones until I found it a struggle working on my knees. Now I use Bosch sander belts, stuck down to a piece of melamine faced MDF. Simples and quite flat enough for water-stones.

Yes April's here and she's lovely. So is my pet Acer Palmatum, which my father gave me 25 years ago.

As it is every Spring; a perfect specimen.

How do you know you are a proper woodie?

When you put '1 pedigree sycamore' as your response to the question 'do you have any pets?'

Marvellous!!!!

 

[Alf]

Surely you're only a proper woodie if you describe said pet in terms of expected cubic footage...

I'll take a pic later when I get back from 'church'!

So I'll post the pics over in the 'Off-Topic' section!
