very nice  again ;D
looks to me like foggins is the way to go ifn you really want to be able to make flakes that can look
so uniform from one to the next to the next to the next etc.

what kind of grinder and where to get it and about how much?  ;D guys gotta know these things eh


                                                                peace,

I built  the grinder out of thing laying around the house..Got the Diamond wheels from Kingsly's north.one 220grit and a 60 grit and mounted them to a shaft and two pillar baring an a old Elect. motor.Looks kinda dangerous but it works.The wheels were around 300.00 bucks.
