jgjgjg - That's Great! I'm glad that someone has benefitted from this post!!!! I was thinking it might have been for not...:(
The way I see it no matter what you use to measure "pressure" you can...

The main risk, that I see with the way I do the flip is banging the edge, chipping, or worse case banging it so hard I just break it. Rolling it on the spine is the best way for the razors sake. When...

Removing the razor after zeroing the scale out did create a negative number by maybe a half oz.? I'd have to set it up again... But as soon as you spray water on the hone it adds some back so yes I...

So, you think I was doing thing's the right way apart from the way I do my flip? Pressure wise what do you think? Yes I do remember that, I want to so bad find a rotary phone and give it to my kids...

Well, I was trying demonstrate how much pressure to use. Not that I "know how much to use". What's the bench mark I guess is what I was after. But I really can't answer that unless others can do the...

5 Days after I post the video and nothing? I guess the previews were more exciting than the movie Haha! Okay, well I tried...

Video.....I'm on a 1k Norton with one layer of tape trying to set the bevel on a Utica 5/8.

Towel across the scale, set the hone the scale & the...

Shaun, yes I plan to keep it simple. Fuzzy apparently likes the technical side of it, and that's great I can appreciate that, but realistically not feasible in my mind with the equipment I have. I'm...

I don't think I'm going to measure my bevels... a wedge to a hollow ground and anything in between would be different. I think it's unrealistic, as different makes most likely would produce a...

My plan is to place a hone & razor on a scale that measures the weight, and zero it out.

I think all we're looking for is a number, that someone could duplicate with a scale - just give them...

Forgive me for be dumb, but isn't there a difference between weight, force, and pressure? I only got 5 hours of sleep, didn't research, just asking an honest question -
The only example I can...

Just talked to him yesterday. He said he's tired of sitting on his butt for 23 hours a day, has no idea when he's coming back or when he will start P.T. I'm not sure what he does with that last hour...

Hey Guys didn't forget about the video! I've had a lot going on this year all ready (not starting out good) Septic tank collapsed (cha-ching!), Front right wheel bearing on my truck went oh and by...

Maybe there's a way to invert the video, so you off handers can comprehend my awesomeness.:hmmm: totally messing with you .....
I think an electrical shock would be more effective :idea:

Good idea, I will face the numbers away from me, that should give me a better idea without the distraction of the numbers going all over the place. Believe it or not I did weigh the razor, and zero...

I might do a video..........I'll refrain from making any comments about what I'm doing in the video. Once I post it I'll add comments to the post.
Probably be a little bit until I can make a vid,...

It would appear that I snapped a pic on the return stroke both times dam! haha! Maybe I should get the wife to snap the photo's instead? lol
You know it did seem to stay around the same pressure,...

what do you guys think about this?
I was honing a C-Mon Wedge and for some reason was thinking about the pressure applied while doing this. I grabbed my Postal scale set my towel and hone on the...
