Interesting idea using the digital angle gauge to set the honing angle. I suppose you should zero it out on your stone and bench as those might not be level.
I bought a set of unhandled Narex Richter chisels over a year ago with the intention of turning my own handles. I even bought a set of figured maple turning blanks when I spotted them on sale but have yet to muster up the round toit. Part of my procrastination is deciding what shape to make them. Anyone have a shape that they really like?
