That is what I'm talking about but only the rods are relevant. I was worried about keeping a nice straight edge but I think I did a good job maintaining the stroke thoughout. Also, it's not something I'd want to do with a blade that required a lot of work. It's certainly not something I'd do with the same blade twice so I'm assuming moderation is the key to avoiding a 'frown'.
Excellent, thanks! I'm just trying to absorb a much information as possible without screwing anything up too badly. It always helps to know what works for others.
