This was produced by a member at SRP by the name of David Polan. Its a very interesting, imho, video of basic honing.

Been working through these myself.. makes my head spin a bit.. haha They look like a great resource though.
i watched these. very good information. really emphasizes a few points that i was missing on. setting the bevel and the importance, pressure, consistency. i think they provide great detail. good stuff. vgod
The vidz realy helped me in many ways and hurt in some... my wife is having a cow over how much i have spent and still dont have everything i want. These stone are expensive but you need to have them around when you want to do everything yourself. So i sharpened some of her kitchen knifes and made it all better; sorta.
