Punch Nothching (heart breaker)
« on: December 27, 2012, 11:46:46 pm »
Made a nice wide point an decided to punch notch this one, got both notches totally done, nice even depth an lookin good, ;D One barb was a little wider than the other so I thought I'll run a series of light flakes up the wide side, I was going really easy an careful but side pressure was to much for a thin barb :o :o Hey it's only a rock an I was happy to get thru the actual notching with out breaking. I had a nice deep notched point for about 30 seconds. Oh well back to the pit. Later Bob

Just a rock. That's what I tell myself everytime I break one that far along. I don't think I believe myself yet. It still hurts when that happens.

Hey Bob, for future reference, put the point down on a hard surface like a block of wood and bevel your flakes almost straight down.  That should save your deep notches.
