Folsom and some re fluting

[Outbackbob48]

Was'nt happy with yesterdays flute that ran out the side , also looked thick enough for a reflute so I set it up an POW almost to the tip   I left nipple an everything on it an called it good. Got out a pc of texas an went for some flutes on a little harder material( up the learning curve) 1 st flute went right off the end and the 2nd stopped about 3/4" shy of end. trimmed her up an came up with probably my best to date folsom Thanks for lookin Bob, ps hope everyones staying warm, -7 here this morning.
     Hey Jesse Thanks Again, never would have got here with out all your help.

Hard to get a Folsom much better then that.

Nice work...You can't argue with your success on that point.

I'd like to be able to make one of those some day. What method did you use to blow those channels out (I mean jig, indirect, direct or other)?

[Outbackbob48]

I made a guillotine jig this fall.

Dude that Folsom is awesome! I gotta try fluting one day !

[Bone pile]

A jig? I thought you were hand fluting . I hope you stay warm up there you might have to dance a jig when you see some numbers above zero

Roger, if I'm going to hand flute I need to order up a tri axle load of rocks just to get a point or 2. Having plenty of failures with the jig Warmed up today +2 and sunny. Bob

Nice basal work. I have never used a jig and have spent hours and ruined
 lots of big blades learning to flute free hand. I have been very sucessful recently (lucky)
First and formost, is the nipple isolated, shaped and ground to the perfect angle.
A tight wrap with a jeans leg. I set the inseam against the intended flute and wrap the entire piece tight,
leaving as little of the piece exposed, just the nipple if possible.
Support on my thigh and strike straight through.
