Are you sure that is your first point?  It looks waaaaaay much better than my first.  Keep chipping them out.

Thanks for all the encouragement fellas. The stone seems to work pretty well in my extremely limited experience, however the stuff I found has quite a bit of impurities in it that you have to work around.  I think once I get a better hand pad made that has a little recess in it, I should be able to get longer flakes? I think my flakes now were short because they were ending where they met the leather I used as a hand pad?
