    Honing can be pleasurable IME, or miserable. Going back to the Wide World Of Sports intro ........ "The thrill of victory ....... ...... or the agony of defeat " ......
    BobH, WW243 and Phrank like this.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Yea, if it ain't going good it can put me in a very destructive frame of mind.

    Honing relaxes me like anything that makes me focus and get into the zone.
    I've always had a passion for deep concentration , its when I'm at my best.
    The only problem I'm starting to find is that some times I require sheer will power to finish a blade.
    I'm talking about spending an age on Jnats. I'll be thinking, "come on, you can do it, Koma next and we are nearly there"

    It can go either way for me. If I'm in a bad mood an easy blade can be helpfull, but a tough blade will just further frustrate me.
