Don't worry if you had that much sense you wouldn't be hitting rocks anyway.lol.  :o
You'll always be breaking them it's just that they will be nicer ones you break as you get better. ;)

PaulC, you got it going now, great improvement, remember flakes only need to go just past half way from each side to thin not necessary to go coast to coast. Lookin good. Bob

I think you made a preform....then broke it.. :KN

Chippintuff:
I agree that was a preform. You got close, and your guess as to what went wrong is probably right. Always evaluate the failures.
