Dang, Billy, that is some kinda sweet!
I am like you were, I make bird points.
I almost get a nice blade, and then I end up with two or more pieces, that end up as......bird points........
In fact just breaking a nice piece of rock, isn't enough. The other night, after doing that, and speaking in unknown tongues, a few minutes, I calmed down, and started to make a......bird point. Well, I made a couple of so so points, and then, took off my glove, and put my pad down, and was about to go back in the house, then looked, at a third piece, and thought, what the heck, I'll just see if I can make another point out of that.......soooooo, I picked up my folded piece of leather, I use for a pad and didn't put the glove back on my left hand, and after about seven or eight flakes, I pushed a flake about 3/16 of an inch by an eighth, or so, right into the ball of my left thumb. I think I got it all out.
Bled like a stuck pig. But on the other hand, (I have a different set of fingers)
, I have had my glove on, and did the exact thing, and it just went through my glove, like it wasn't on. Well I put it down, and turned off the light, and came back in the house, and washed my hand, and dried it off, and put a little band aid on it, and just pouted, for awhile. Went back out the next morning, and tried some, but nothing much, came of it. I see these blades, and just drool. That is a sweet one, for sure. Thanks for sharing.
