I'm getting pretty good at breaking stuff lately
This makes eight straight.

Everything was going good until the nipple give out way to soon with hardly any pressure on the second flute.
I flaked that off and tried again but left a slight remnant of the end of the failed flute and the retry cut through right there where it met the high spot

A slab seemed like a good idea after all the tab failures, so I picked this heated gravel slab and broke it too.
The first flute went all the way but developed some waves that I thought for sure would cause another cut through at one of the low spots. I clamped it in the jig and Bam! I was so happy it went all the way to the tip and looked smooth. The clamp was holding the broken ear in place and I couldn't tell it was broke until I unclamped it and the ear hit the floor.
