I have read Joe's Sharpening FAQ and I should prob. read it again, but I am having problems raising a burr. I bought the Smith's Precision Sharpening Kit for use on ATS 34 and it just won't raise a burr. I actually found that I did better using the stones freehand rather than using the guide. I spent a total of 5 hours just grinding away at this poor blade with both the coarse and the fine stones, using both angles. Nothing. I just can't get it right. I figure my problem is the inability to raise the burr. Why can't I do this? What am I doing wrong? Thank you. -AR
