    Default Water stone base

    I had a broken up pack of parquet flooring laying around on the weekend I found myself thinking what I could do with it. Well I made myself a water stone base that sits on top of a food storage tub this is only a prototype I will be getting myself a bigger storage tub this one is 7lt I think I might get a 10lt. All the muck and water from the stone falls into the tub so things are not so messy i don't have a real workshop yet so everything has to be moved around all the time thats why i came up with this idea.

    Nice idea Alistair, but I'd suggest some anti-slip matting on the blocks at the least, or better still a pair of end clamps otherwise the whole gizmo will be sliding all over the place

    Auld,
    I was thinking of making a clamp up but the stone stays in place the wood and the water seem to make it grip the base just hooks onto the tub with little bits of wood.
