Nice work.
Before you hone it you may find it helpful to remove a little steel from the heel.
I find that when the heel stabilizers are in line with the edge like that it can cause honing problems.

Nice job. Now you ought to go over to Willie's Tropical Tattoo over on South Yonge in Ormond Beach and treat yourself to a tattoo. Ask for Pete or Clay and tell 'em Painless Jimmy sent ya.

Baldy: You are correct, the heel needs some of the stabilizer removed. I did start briefly honing the bevel and found the heel dragging as Glen mentioned in his video. Since this will be my first ever honing experience, I was surprised that indeed one can actually feel, see and hear aspects of the entire process. I plan to put more time into honing this to shave condition put as this is only my tester blade, I have other projects in the works that need my attention.
