where do you buy stones from and what stones should I start with?

When I was doing research today I saw that alot of people use ceramic sticks. Do these really work ?

The Norton 3 stone kit is great,but spendy.Diamond sharpeners are good too & will last longer.Ceramic sticks are good for finishing,or touch up.For Infi you pretty much need diamonds & ceramic.Jerry reccommends a ceramic rod for touching up of infi.
I sharpened my Bird dog w/400 grit sand paper & a ceramic rod.I mostly use diamonds & ceramic.
Now lets hear from the belt sander owners.
