Them all look like some tough rocks Jamie and man your gettin em thin these days. Those are nice!
-
Jamie, lookin good an man you have that thin thing fiqured out.:>) Later Bob
-
Ohh, nice blades, Jamie. Glad it wasn't my leg.
-
They all look good to me jamie :) So how much snow did ya get eh? 1/2" here >:(
-
Even the "bad" side looks good.
-
Nice points Jamie, I especially like that Jasper. Like the others said THIN.
-
thanks guys. i cleaned up the jasper one and put some notches in it. still gotta figure out how to get them deep notches you guys are getting. i seem to round em over as i get deeper. i'll post a pic later of what im talking about. and the reason im getting em thinner is because i never think they are thin enough. then i take a pic and realise they are. ;D
-
Jamie, your work has really progressed lately. Nice goin. Feels good eh?
-
cools points.. nice work!
-
Jamie, very nice work.as usuall ;)
i really like the looks of that jasper one.
i need to get me some jasper adn beat on that for awhile
seems like i enjoy the harder materials more,maybe its cause i can realy hit it and not worry to much about wrecking it
after awhile a guy dont even notice the bruises as much either ;D
-
thanks again. and yes tim it does :)
-
heres the finished jasper point . and a pic i hope you can see of the notch problem i keep running into. i always manage to round the belly of the notch over and thats where it stalls. any helpful tips you could give , id appreciate em. peace
