Title: Little rusty
Post by: cowboy on June 04, 2011, 04:02:09 pm: Just been doing some rough bi-facing here lately and have gotten rusty on the fine tuning. Trying to take off this little remnant of bark that had stacked and pop. Didn't know it was soft all the way through. Think them guys hammering on that tank were distracting me anyway ::). OK - next..

Post by: iowabow on June 09, 2011, 12:52:36 pm: the point on the left: I like how that thinning flake in the middle goes all the way across. The removal of that flake would have made me very happy.
