For sword polishing, some of my waterstones are sawn into very thin
slices, then used by placing them on a springy wooden fingerboard.
Some people glue them, some don't. I find that a coarse bandsaw blade
leaves a rough enough finish on larch to not need it.
Many waterstones (particularly hard/fine polishing stones) are
permanently mounted onto wooden stands. A hot hide glue & resin mix
was traditional, or you can use silicone these days. If you want to
take them off later, silicone can be sawn through with a bit of
fishing line and toggle handles.
