I did check your video, it was very helpful.. It showed me that you actually can apply some pressure.. just hearing it was good.. that swooshing sound of metal against stone.. I was that video that "broke the ice" so to speak.. Thank you..
It is one of those. I figured as much after the first two attempts. Hopefully, my pitiful honing skills will overcome that. I felt the same way after watching LX's video. The audio on the coticule was great feedback in learning.
