Nice points Bob, if you don't mind my asking what did you change up?  I like the flake patterns.

Outbackbob48:
PaPoints ,I  use a 1" copper booper for all my percussion, I am not a very good at pressure flaking for thinning so I tend to use percusion to do all my thinning, I have started using a small 1/2" bopper for my final thinning and this is workin real well for me when preforms are thin and getting flat, Hope that made some sence :o.  Setting up isolated platforms also has helped. I'm doing alot more prep work instead of smashing and bashing :o ;D  Bob

bowtarist:
