That's a fantastic guide, Tim... Thank you very much. I was actually intending to stop by Lee Valley sometime after work this week and grab myself some of those sheets, so in actuality, your guide wasn't late at all, very timely in fact, from my perspective.

I'm really glad that this worked out so well. For a lot of us younger folks getting our starts in life (24 still counts as young folk, right?) the costs of some of 4k - 8k stones can be a little prohibitive, so an inexpensive method of self-honing is pretty instrumental in making this a viable hobby.

Thank you again for this great resource.
