Hey Cris --

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the details. Your cycle sounds similar to Lynn's shown on youtube. Here's my problem with these instructions -- when you (and Lynn) talk about "light pressure" initially, what exactly does that mean. I think this is the hardest part to capture without being hands-on with a mentor. Would you (and others who are reading this) describe "light" like the pressure you would use if you were painting a coat of paint on the stone (most light, I would think)? Or a little harder, like spreading peanut butter on bread? Or more, like the pressure one might use in resealing the top of a gallon of paint tin? Or even harder, like the pressure of trying to scrape off rust from metal? Any other comparisons would be welcome in trying to get my pressure 'just right.' Also, please keep in mind that my bevel probably needs to be totally reset.

Thanks guys. This has been fun and informative so far. Have a nice Sunday.
