Hi John,

I ordered the Pro Pack 2 because of the ceramic stones, finer grit strops and angle gauge.

Also, I have some downed cherry, hickory, elm, oak and ash trees that I plan to use to make a nice thick base and case. Just off the top of my head, I'll fashion the case to cover the base - like a sewing machine case. And I'll latch a lid on the top of the case to form a storage compartment for all my sharpening stuff. Of course that project will wait till spring when it warms up a bit - too cold here in Mich right now.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I called again today managed to get through Kyle. I placed my order and I should have a sharpener by the end of the month.

Thanks ... Mike

Hello Folks:

I'm trying to order a Pro Pack 1 system with the new upgrade and without the base, or a Pro Pack 2 system without the base from WE. As far as I know, you can't customize an order via the webpage. I have at least four phone calls into the office and a couple of e-mails to see if I can place an order. Unfortunately, WE hasn't returned my calls or responded to my e-mails. My sister had a similar experience with unreturned phone calls when she was unable to print the gift certificate she purchased from WE.

Can anyone here shed some light on what's going on at WE? Any advice on how to place an order?

Thanks .... Mike
