Best bottle bottom so far(SECOND ATTEMPT)
« on: November 08, 2013, 03:49:30 pm »
Ive been having a hard time with the convex/concave of bottle bottoms and I came so close to getting the convex out of this one. I know how to do it know though so the next one should be a lot better.







I did way better on this one and happy with how it came out.

failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Put a sharper point on it and stick it on a stick :D Looks darn good to me.

Looks good  enough to me to kill a critter and for hafting iv been using hot glue it works great if you dont have pitch or other primitive glues ;). It takes practice on bottle bottoms to get the concavity  out i always work the concave side flat then over shoot  the convex side to match ;) watch paleomanjims youtube vids he show how to do that with pressure ;)

I've watched just about every vid on bottle bottoms lol the one that billy did is the best one imo.
