Been pretty busy for awhile now. Had a little to play a couple nights ago. Thought I had this one supported good. I was doing a little more percussion on the base when I felt the vibration go past my fingers

Basal thinning that late in the game on obsidian....yeesh. Haha.

Next time try sacrificing the base corners some and thin from there once the preform gets that thin. They are much more forgiving.

Been there done that BJ.
Had one broke into 3 pieces one day it went out through the corn field.

bjrogg:
Yep Rob, I was pretty sure I wasn't the only one to do this. Probably not even the only one to do it more than once.lol. I knew as soon as I felt the vibration running between my fingers it wasn't gonna be good.
