Hi Carl
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us newbies. Sharpening with Steve's and your templates makes sharpening a breeze. With the excellent sharp pictures and your lectures even a dummy can sharpen a graver.

Being a Retired Marine, I need pictures, be it for proof or just plain entertainment. Comic book simple always works the best!
