Dadgumit!
« on: February 01, 2014, 09:51:13 pm »
I thought I had a winning streak going with my notching, but my ego brought me crashing back to earth.  I was cleaning up my notches when it broke. Oh well maybe a can save the tip.

     Daggumit!  Aww come on now, that isn't what you said. ;)  Well it will still make a nifty knife!  I would be happy just get the blade made!  But it is good to see that even the gurus, occasionally break some also.  Not meaning I am glad to see you occasionally break one also.  And because I still can't make a pretty point, just a functional point.  Yeah, the deer, or other critter isn't going to care if it is pretty, or not.  But still I would like to be able to consistently make a decent point.  Or be able to make a set that are at least close in size weight, and style.  Not happening yet. :(  Nonetheless, I hate to see it break, but it does kind of ease the irritation of breaking a point that I think is finally going to look fairly decent.

Knapping can be so exhilarating :D and also  so humbling :'( sometimes in a matter of seconds. Nice notching and still a beautiful point. Bob

In that case, I would look the other way while you applied the super glue...... Just saying.   That is a crying shame.

You broke that on purpose...  so we could be less jealous of your skill.

Didn't work!  :P
