Hey thanks tower.  Check out these notches.   I was real happy with the size but as I focused on the technique I lost sight of there directions.   I forgot to keep redrawing the lines.  Anyway this is what I got out of the eyeball piece.  It had a crack that went deep and finally broke when it was 1/4 thick.

Still pretty.  A shame it was cracked there, but the point is still great.  Your notches are soooo much better than I can do.  I did a point this morning that went from a knife blade to a long arrowhead to a short arrowhead and from corner notched to stemmed.  Not much else I could have messed up and still gotten a point. :'(  Anyway, sorry for the digression, I really like that burlington. :)

Nothing wrong there. Looks good to me. When notching it the notching platform doesn't look right don't try it till it does. If you try to force it it will pop!
