yup thatll do it. only thing to add is relieving the flake on the other side also. remove flakes from both sides of the platform on the other side too so you creat a strong ridge for the flake to travel across. its early havent had coffee so i hope that made sense.

Cool pic.  Thanks
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

ok ok ok,shessh pick on the ignorant. dang         lol
no actually i appreciate it,cause i did mention that i still didnt get it.
i guess i understand the principle of it,like your pic there shows
i just havent figured out how to get my mind to get that info to my bopper when i am working on a piece trying to biface it
i have yet to be able to get my bifaces thin and still have a decent size to them.
when i finally get them thin thay are also small
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd
