Yes, I have purchased Lynn´s video. It is great information packet.
Last weekend I tried circular honing method. It is quite powerful method and you have to be carefull when honing like that. When comparing a regular rolling stroke and a circular rolling honing, the circular method cuts very fast. On the surface of the stone are suddenly a lot of removed steel particles. And those pits what are on the bevel area, were "moving" very fast to the edge. When using a regular rolling strokes, it is so slow (and safe method). On the stone you can hardly see any removed steel particles.
Do not stay long on a one spot. When honing a front side of the blade, use counterclock wise ovals. And vice versa on the back side of the blade. And take a look very often the honing result on the bevel, or you can have a uneven bevel.
I must try to keep on my mind: go slow and use quality consentrated strokes. This is what Lynn was emphasizing on the video.
Hope I have time to continue this case on tomorrow.
