Title: Rocker notching?
Post by: D. Tiller on October 02, 2008, 02:08:44 am

Well, I just watched the way some people make expanding notches and tried a variation on it. I got a long thin nail and used it like a teeter totter from one side to the other making sure I firmed up the edges before taking the next flake. It works great! Less breakage to boot.

Come on Dave. We're visual people.  Show us what you're talking about.

Cant! No camera!!!! Well, I could barrow one but I'm a lazy B@#$@#!  I'll see what I can do. Try to think of a teeter totter. Each movement back and forth takes off a flake,.
