I can tell you that the video is not the ideal quality. I tried watching it when it first came out. Here's basically what happened at that seminar:

I talked about the different types of blades - single bevel, double bevel, double hollow ground, and hollow ground bevel - and how the edge should be shaped when sharpening. I then proceeded to sharpen some knives, explaining how and when there was a burr and what it felt like.

At the time (2005), this was interesting stuff, but I was still formulating my methods and learning how double reeders used their reed knife (I am a clarinetist). That information is now obsolete in my mind because I was nowhere nearly as "good" at describing the sharpening process as I am today - which also applies to the way clarinetists use the knife.

Here is a link to where the sharpening method is explained in its latest incarnation.
