hope the link works... this is quite the concept takes out a lot of human error of not maintaining correct angle while sharpening...
The video says "hold the knife flat and stroke the blade up the stone." And it appears he is holding the blade flat to the stone as he moves it up the stone. That is not putting a 20* or whatever angle bevel on the blade. If the base of the jig is level, if the stone is then held at 20*, the blade must be level as it is stroked up the stone, not flat with the stone, in order to get a 20* primary bevel.
