1442:
The first flute on this point went amazingly perfectly right out the center of the tip.
I made the nipple too wide on the second flute and I knew it but thought it might work anyway so I tried it.
The flute got off center and didn't get as deep as I wanted because the one side that cut through the nipple was unable to spread out and caused a nasty crack that didn't go all the way through. It's a wonder it didn't break and I don't know how it didn't, but I learnt to make that nipple narrower from now on.

Bryce:
Now that’s a flute!
