Back at it again, could use some help.
If you are looking for a "template" then you may want to try out the pyramid style of honing. It's got stroke counts for norton 4/8k stones.
I haven't had any luck with that method but many swear by it.
If you want to use a progressive style of honing then it's a little different. I do 20-30 circles on each side then follow with 15-20 xstrokes each on 1k and 4k, then do about 20 x strokes each on 8&12k. The whole time I'm testing carefully that the xstrokes are making good contact. Also important to test and see if you are ready to move to the next stone.
