Thank -you for the perscective. Watching honemeisters videos, and reading in the library , A member like me with less than a year in thinks "This should be easy ,circles, rolling x strokes,ect...ect... Glen gets it done in videos in 35 minutes. I can mimic him, should take no longer than a couple of hours"
I am not Glen or Lynn, I am not with another experienced honer ,I have no point of reference and what am I listening for and feeling for???
What do you mean the blade not perfectly straight and the heel was never really set??
You make a very good point that all of the members should keep in mind. We are at different spots within our skill set. Different places on the learning curve. So one day not bad is an understatement.
