Not much!
Taking too many breaks I guess

the Andices where both raw gravel and the other one wuz central tx rock, like this next one that first broke when I hit it on the end. Then I worked the rest of it thin as I could get it. Got 12:1 before it broke again.

Hey, you are not supposed to break them like that.

Glad I could help with the advice >:D

I hate when I get in a streak like that. Usually I do something else for a few days

Eddie's right. Most every point I break now is nicer than the one I broke before it. But it's all part of the learning process for me. Gotta test those boundaries. If you ain't livin on the edge, your takeing up to much room.

Thanks for the advise jeffp51
Just wish youda told me sooner

I'm always holding them when I'm folding them, that's how I know when to do it, or at least when I did it, or something like that.
