I sent austy a PM before I went overseas for a holiday and let him know that I'd be happy to be involved with something when I got back. Well I'm back now so I'm more than happy to pass on what honing knowledge I have and bring a few different stones to a gathering (Shaptons, coticules etc). I'm in Bentleigh which isn't too central but I'm happy to travel.
I've got plenty of spare straights that need honing so I'm happy to bring along a few for people to practise on if need be.
