I won't lie.. a full length JNat honing session is something I would watch.. even though I have my own methods. I guess I am just one of those people.
There's Koma

Lol - I think you and Blackhawk would be the only ones watching...
Uhhh, naw...i'd be there too. I'd try to focus my attention on the honing lesson instead of your quarry. hehehe
You'd be surprised. A few years back a member whose ID I could never spell (Chimensche?) did an anniversary shave video and it was an extremely popular thread for several weeks.
I'd watch 
I'm a film guy, and I would watch too! I have a lot of respect for what you guys are doing with natural stone.
I would definitely watch! I have been honing on JNAT for over a year, but I still consider myself in the 'learning' phase for sure. You can learn a lot by just by watching!
Sounds like demand is increasing.. haha
Learning comes easier from watching someone, rather than reading what they have to say!
Check out Gamma's youtube page, a great source of information. Nagura use, slurry creation/manipulation and a stroke clinic.
Looking around the web for huge koma only gives a few examples:

I recall seeing someone with a sword sharpening/jnat selling site that looked like it hadn't been updated in about five years list that they were selling a bench sized koma (I wanna say a bit shy of a kilo) for like $1000 but that they'd only sell it if they felt it was going to someone who knew how to use it or some such business.

That Koma is a beautiful stone, it belongs with a Togishi.
I wouldn't sell it to just anyone waving 1k at me either.

I remember on a knife forum a while back someone (a sword polisher if I recall) was selling a number of Koma pieces.. both small stones and Toishi size. At the time I was not interested in investing so much but he had a few he was asking near $4000 for some of the biggest pieces. I'd be curious to know just what kind of sizes they were.. I should have asked for pictures!

4k for a brick of Koma isn't all that surprising if it's significantly over 1kg.
I've been offered 700g-ish pieces for 1k+. Depends on the stone, who's buying/selling, etc.

Wow! Those are huge!
