Making Progress

<< < (2/4) > >>

TRACY:
Those are looking good! I use a 16 penny nail tip flattened and filed thin for my finer edge work. Horse shoe nails are too bendy for my style.

Small copper hand flaker for edge work here. Nail hammered flat for notching. Those look like their ready for some notches to me.

Outbackbob48:
Rob overshot flakes go from edge to edge or side to side , excellent for thinning but no good for finsh sharping. I'll see ya Sunday at the Nuge shoot. Bob

PAHunter:
Thanks guys!  I'll experiment with some different tools for tip work and sharpening.  I'm happy with my progress so far.  I feel like I have learnt a lot.  Of course I'm just starting to appreciate how incredible much there is still to learn.  It's pretty exciting!  Hopefully by Oct I have some points I consider hunt worthy!

HickoryBill:
