@ChasnotRobert which grade whetstone are you using? I'm looking at some, but have no idea with the bewildering number of options. Did you use clip on guides for the degrees?
Muppetteer-
I'm using a multi stone (ie reversible) with 1000/3000 grit. This seems ideal for knives which are in reasonable shape to begin with.
I've just ordered a coarser stone (180/600) to make it a bit quicker to get the bevel back on a very blunt knife.
I'm not using an angle guide at the moment - it seems reasonably straight forward to find the bevel by sight and feel, and hold the angle. I'm no expert though - just working it out as I go along.
This guy's videos are quite instructive:
