Title: got a couple before supper
Post by: Outbackbob48 on August 17, 2010, 10:54:15 pm
I knocked these 2 out this evening while waiting for supper, nothing fancy but have got so it doesn't take all night to make something, still not ready for the ten speed contest but gettin there. The obsidian was made from a real blocky type that a year ago all I would have is gravel an frustration. Thanks for lookin. Bob

Very nice bob.
I broke 2 last night, you did better then me. :)
Its good to do them in less time but try not to get in a rush and forget to set up good platforms.
The KY blue is bad about leaving those fingernail flakes that don't detach, Take you some bee's wax and melt it on there it will hide those.
 Thats a fine hunting point whats the wight?
