Norton Point
« on: July 20, 2011, 03:17:46 am »
I bought my wife a new laptop yesterday and finished loading it today.  Tonight when she began trying all the things she used to do Norton's internet security package reared it's head and fought with me.  I got so frustrated I headed to the shop and began beating on a spall.



Evidently the frustration helped me.  Thinning went well and I ended up with a stocky little point that went just under 160 grains.  I think it'll hunt nicely.





Kevin came over to work on his stave in the middle of the fun and it turned into a very nice evening.  Went back inside, and the computer work went fine, quickly got all of Mary's software running.  I love it when a plan comes together.

Hey Patrick, watched your 5 new videos on youtube at lunchtime.  Nice.  I wondered how you'd get that stepped hump off, but I never should have doubted.  Good work.

Thanks George!  Glad you liked 'em.  As for the steps, hinges, crushed edges and various other sundries...copper eats them for lunch.  It's not me, it's the tools. ;D

That "Norton Point" thing threw me off.  Should not have doubted.  >:D
