Ouch, that makes me wince just thinking about making a point out of that stuff! On the other hand, that stuff is probably tough enough to pierce armor plate. Nice work!

Ed I did that working quartz before. Had a heartbeat in my thumb for two days.

Maddog on material like this all I'm doing is cleaning up the edge. Very little tine work involved.
