Bubby, make sure a keep your inside corners cleaned out and square and always below center even if you need to take extra flakes to get below center. Notches also go alot better on thin bases
First I put a board across my lap an then lay my hand pad on it then my point on top with notch over the edge of pad so that your flake an notcher have a place to go, I,ll get a pic easier than explaining. Takes a little getting used to. Clear as mud, pic 3 not to clear but notch is overhaning pad so flake can travel out the bottom an notcher goes thru also , careful don,t let notcher catch either side, keep burrs filed off of nail or can catch ear.
