Title: Me 'ol back hurts....
Post by: FlintWalker on May 29, 2011, 12:42:20 am
From being humped up all day chipping ;D
 First was a Dove from Sonora flint. Then a Pine tree from Flint Ridge. And finally a Dalton from Texas root beer.
 That Dalton gave me fits!  At one point I was ready to throw it across the field >:( I was 3 small flakes away from finishing the serrations and got a little too comfortable and popped about 3/4" off the tip.  Had to go back and rework the whole thing, resulting in it being a little thicker than I wanted and about an inch shorter. :'(

Real nice blades, Shanon. I really like that rootbeer, Dalton. I've got to hit the rockpile this afternoon, finger is feeling better and I won't get a chance for a week or so, heading to Columbia Wednesday.

I got the impression from him that he'd plan on it. Now whether his plans hold up or not is in the air. I don't know his number or I'd call him.

I got a box of this TX junk headed your way and about two buckets in the back of the truck you can have when I get there. I just wanna sit in the shade and chip after a hard day of mountain climbing and gathering rocks. How relaxing is that? ;D.
