Title: Good front bad back
Post by: Russ on June 02, 2019, 01:14:15 pm

Good front, bad back. I was very happy with the front and was going to use this as one of my pith trades but i want to make a good point that im proud of.

It all part of joining the club Russell. I'm still disappointed with the size of a point I get out of a piece of rock. Everyone makes gravel. I made everything I had into gravel. Then I made my gravel into smaller gravel till I finally started  to make gravel into points.

I dont know, I was working with steve and had 5$ in my pocket so we went to franks and bought 2 stones, the second one was a complete disaster and I didnt even get close to a point.
