If you've got a recent digital camera, you've got video
I've shot stuff with mine, and it looks fine for internet work. Not as good as a real video camera for viewing on TV. $15 tripod and your camera on top and you're golden.

I just took a piano recital video with my new Sony camera. The results were more yellow that I would have liked, but it was serviceable.
The pictures of the sharpening really didn't do much for me. I'm still not sure what Andrew is doing in them. Regards,

I know what he's doing because I already know
And speaking of what he's doing ...
Andrew, there's actually good precedent for your preference to go the opposite direction to what most people show. Look at the way lumberjacks do their blades. (Or knights with their swords, but let's use a more common example.) They hold the blade still and stroke the stone over it, from the handle out toward the tip. You could argue that's simply a more convenient or natural motion when holding the blade still and moving the stone. But if there's a way to get the blade sharper, these guys would do it. http://www.wonderhow...en-an-axe-194871/ That's a home user, but I've seen the competitive guys do the same thing. --

To me, it looks safer too.
