<< < (2/2)

seminolewind:
Dude that Folsom is awesome! I gotta try fluting one day !

Bone pile:
A jig? I thought you were hand fluting ::). I hope you stay warm up there you might have to dance a jig when you see some numbers above zero

Roger, if I'm going to hand flute I need to order up a tri axle load of rocks just to get a point or 2. Having plenty of failures with the jig :( Warmed up today +2 and sunny. Bob

Zuma:
Nice basal work. I have never used a jig and have spent hours and ruined
 lots of big blades learning to flute free hand. I have been very sucessful recently (lucky)
First and formost, is the nipple isolated, shaped and ground to the perfect angle.
A tight wrap with a jeans leg. I set the inseam against the intended flute and wrap the entire piece tight,
leaving as little of the piece exposed, just the nipple if possible.
Support on my thigh and strike straight through.
