first try at corner notches
« on: March 06, 2011, 11:18:33 pm »
First try at corner notches.  I did side notch last time.  I kept nicking off the little ears.  I am going to have to be more careful.

Its funny I met Jim and he is awesome!  The guy is so friendly and loves what he does amazing what he can do! Great job on the notching!  If u use a horseshoe nail or u make a notcher u can use a steel nail and flatten and file it down like a horseshoe nail u can get real thin notches... also try to punch them in Sawfiler had a punch notching thread was really cool!
