Thanks for all of the replies everyone. I have to say this is an old thread and since posting it back in last September I have come quite a long way grinding wise. I grind free hand with no jigs now. Fred's bubble jig was a great help to get started and it teaches you the feel of certain angles. Once i got used to knowing about what a certain angle felt like on my platen i switched to free hand and doing great.

Again, this is one of the best sites for info and Im so thankful for you "old-timers" or more experienced guys that give out information so freely.
