I felt very much how you said you started in your intro video only I ‘m a much slower learner just after several years getting an edge on an knife and axe. Destroyed many fine fan chisels trying to sharpen them . So as I recuperate I’m actually going to try for an education on proper hoe to so attention to sharpening for dummies I’m signing up for the videos , thanks
