1442:
nice flutes zuma
I always had heck trying to flute points prior to using the jig but I know now I was not setting up the platforms properly at all.
Thanks Hawkdancer,
I been gonna make a drawing of how the jig works to apply pressure for you and to show a couple more details that I cant explain without a picture.
got a few things I need to do for Christmas first though.

1442:
I made another point with uneven flutes.
I goofed up the platform on the first flute and it didn't go very far so I thought I could make a short flute to match on the second one but I set up my normal platform and put less pressure on it but the flute went way longer than I wanted it to.
I took some pics as I went and started out with a Georgetown slab about 5/16" thick.
