I have one of these inexpensive dandy devices but didn't have particular success with it dry. After watching a professional use a whetstone at a local Repair Cafe I realized the importance of the water. Sure enough, went home and did the turns in water, success!

If you bang the blade holder down like she did you will damage the threaded part of the holder and soon it will not join the other side of the holder without cross threading !
Not only that the blade that you just sharpened could be damaged as it hits the surface. You must seat the blade over the inner blade support this ensures the centralisation of the blade that allows you to sharpen the blade correctly.
Now I must get down off my high horse. point made!!!!!! :)) -
Great video, learned a lot & wished I had seen it earlier! It could've saved me a lot of trouble :) Thank you!
