With this being your first one, I am hopeful that I will be able to do a good job too.

I found it very rewarding. It's not as hard as you might imagine (if I can do it anyone can), but I found you do need patience. And make sure you have every grit of sandpaper between low (80 or so) and high (2000). The more steps in between the quicker it is to polish the blade up. Don't skimp like I tried to do at first! You just end up back at the hardware store.
