Title: On a roll.
Post by: Outbackbob48 on March 09, 2010, 10:51:03 pm

I don't know what happen but I like it. My last weeks points have all of a sudden got thinner an better notches . Being thin helped the notches plus slowing down. It seems like I go for months an months before I see improvment then one day it just happens. I have still left my self lots an lots of room for improvement ;D Thanks for looking Bob

I had a great knapper tell me that learning this stuff was a series of plateau's. You learn a lot real fast, then it seems that you stop for a long while. Next thing you know...something clicks and you're improving again.
 Good looking point Bob.

Nice point, It feels good when they start looking like that. Saw Filer that is good wisdom. I agree, I have am experiencing that now.

Very nice point.  Are you using a pressure flaker for notching or an actual notching tool?

Parnell, I,m using a copper wire flatten out like a small screwdriver, an scrap flakes for abrading inside of notches. Bob
