well what I can say is that skype has helped me alot, some of the senior members have helped me a great deal and if you have a webcam and a mic then this is great.

I was helped by randydance,as your probably in the USA then this makes the time difference less of an issue, he ,with the use of skype and a webcam supervised my actions and told me alot of great tips and walked me through the basics and other bits and bobs.

I hope this info will help you out as honing guides are great bu if your like me its easier to have spoken help.

Good luck and I hope you get the help your after.

regards,simon

ps I would love to help you but im more into taking sharp razors and messing them up with my norton 4k/8k, thats not exactly right but if you have the gear for skype then contact me and we can set it up.
