    I'm wondering which stone I should use as the abrasive surface. I'm thinking my 400 grit chosera

    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Erudite, intellectual humor expressed with Buster Keaton facial expressions. Not only priceless, but I have to watch it again because I was laughing to long and too loud and too hard to really see the very subtle and profound information being imparted. May the farce be with you.

    I am pleased to see that my new-found friends here appreciate the same level of OCD in others who sharpen as we so value in ourselves............

    No, I didn't do the video. It was on a violin making forum I follow. As you might imagine, violin makers also obsess over sharp tools and it was well appreciated there also. The "others" I referred to were those who sharpen pencils with precision, exactitude and an intolerance for dullness that matches my own for dull razors, i.e. those who are as possessed by OCD as I am, whatever the obsession might be that particular day.

    Glen, I am looking forward to it also and I am sure you are right. After 35 years together, my wife still can't tell when I am joking and when I am being serious.
