On a roll.
« on: March 09, 2010, 08:01:51 PM »
I don't know what happen but I like it. My last weeks points have all of a sudden got thinner an better notches . Being thin helped the notches plus slowing down. It seems like I go for months an months before I see improvment then one day it just happens. I have still left my self lots an lots of room for improvement ;D Thanks for looking Bob

I had a great knapper tell me that learning this stuff was a series of plateau's. You learn a lot real fast, then it seems that you stop for a long while. Next thing you know...something clicks and you're improving again.
 Good looking point Bob.
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

Nice point, It feels good when they start looking like that. Saw Filer that is good wisdom. I agree, I have am experiencing that now.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Very nice point.  Are you using a pressure flaker for notching or an actual notching tool?
