I give up on Andices for a while. At least until tomorrow.
I've broke several lately during notching. Now I cant even get a preform ready for notches.
the one rock had Andice wrote all over it >:(

This tab had some cool color and was going good, then SNAP  :o  AGHHHH!!!!!

mullet:
Awww, darn!

rebsr52339:
Do you have any idea "why" they both snapped? Internal fracture, where you hit it, too much force.  :(  Results I got like that was from a "to big a sledge hammer" Looks like nice rock. Now for some smaller points.

NonBacked:
You had some good-long flakes on the preforms – definitely looks like workable rock. Both are a little dull (not shiny) in the pictures; do you think heat-treating might make them more susceptible to indirect torture?
