Sorry for you to bowmo :'(
Yeah I will never photo that stuff again.
I always loose them. :'(
The break happened after (I) took a break to
help my neighbor fix his trailer hitch.
It was the very first tap when I returned. :'(
Worse yet is, I snapped the other half, in half too :embarassed: :embarassed:

you probably already know this but....
In the tip especially two little break flake will help detaich the flake. These flakes are placed at the top on each side of the platform and are pushed outward. I set these kinds of platforms up like flutes. The break flakes weaken the platform preventing a twist in the preform.
Zuma:
Thanks iowa :)
Just a little to complicated for this country boy.
Next time I put my glasses back on and see what
I am bopping. ???

Flakes are useful too ...
Locogear:
That looks real nice, makes it look easy :p

Humm... looks to me like there was only one point inside that rock when you started and the "break" was actually just a reduction to get down to the imbedded point. And you successfully removed it. Nice looking point!
