Thanks for the video! New dad to the Gatineau Speed Skating club, and I was hoping to get a good video instruction to properly sharpen their skates, this did the job! Thanks again!
Great video. Thanks for the explanation. I was putting weight on the stone (learned that from my fellow skaters). Next time I will keep it nice and easy. If my skates were used for 10 trainings, how much should I use the coarse stone? 50 repetitions?
Always a range, the bigger the correction, the lower a grit to start with, it'll save a lot of work and progress faster. 200-400 for first shaping, 400-800 for sharpening and good enough for training, 1200-2000 would only be for final polishing. For high end competition, maybe finish polish with a 3000-8000 range.

So the stoppers at the back of the blade? Does it matter if the stoppers are at the front of the blade?

What is the grit of the sharpening stone? It seems that 3000is too fine.
