Should I start at the heel of the bevel and keep sharpening until it reaches the tip, or do I start from the tip of the tool and keep sharpening my way back to the heel of the bevel?
Michael Dresdner: Neither. You should be sharpening in such a way that the bevel angle stays the same, which means you will be hitting the whole bevel at once. When sharpening on a round wheel to create a hollow grind, that may mean that you will contact the center of the bevel first, then grind outward to both the tip and heel simultaneously.
