    I;m not in the 2 hour zone, but I was planning a trip out that direction in the near future. If you don't have any one on one time set up by then, I will see if I can take a few hours for some assistance.

    How about Michael Sorkin? Michael was a bit over an hour away from me and my two trips to his house were priceless for me.

    Turns out I will be going to the meeting at svcaramia's house and I live in lower Westchester County. If you want to only drive that far I am happy to give you a lift the rest of the way to LI.

    Wow, you guys are the best! Offers to help out a newbie, even chauffeured transport! Doesn't get any better than that. Looks like I'll be heading to Long Island Saturday for some expert teaching. When I get a little honing under my blades and need some help on the finer details I'll be in touch with nicknbleeding who is quite close to me. I don't have a finishing hone yet so when I'm ready to make a choice I'll contact aa1192 to try out his selection and see which I like.

    Thanks again guys!

    Hi Mikekim,
    No doubt Michael is a honemeister. He has helped me many times as well
    But the limit was set at two hours and while I can offer an invitation to my house
    I can not offer one to Michael's house.

    That said you come too

    Thanks for the invite Sam.. I would love to come. I was secretly volunteered to take my daughter and friends zip lining in the tree-tops on Saturday.

    I would love a rain-check though!

    A HUGE thanks to svcaramia for allowing me to attend his honing get together today, a most gracious host. And a HUGE thanks to Bayamontate and Bill3152 for the personal instruction on honing. It was an amazing time. And it was a pleasure meeting GC7 and Anthony (sorry Anthony, didn't get your SRP name). Thanks again, but I've got to get back to practicing on my hones!

    Charlie, It was a pleasure to have you join our small informal group. I'm glad it was of value to you. I hope you can join us again in the future.
    You certainly lucked out as having an opportunity to go one-on-one with Nelson and Bill and get their undivided attention is a treasured moment. Plus a free honing or two never hurts.

    Hone a man a razor and he'll shave for a day. Teach a man to hone and he'll look good for a lifetime!
