271600 Kirk Eppler 2020‑08‑11 Re: restoring a delaminated Belgian coticule hone
I have used epoxy to repair a broken stone (JB Weld)  and its held up quite
well in infrequent use.  I'd think relaminating a stone would work fine.

Kirk in HMB, made a quick trip in and out of the garage to measure a tool
today.  Over the weekend I sharpened some chisels and gouges, clearing up
some messy spaces a tiny bit.
