Title: Progress?
Post by: chertle on June 03, 2012, 06:29:14 pm

The mahogany is a point I have been working on and just kept setting it aside, finally finished it today.  The hornstone is from the recent rock run.  It is a point that I have taken from a chunk to a point.  Sometimes it seems like one step forward and two steps back :'( I have beat up a lot of rock to get that one point.  My husband will hand me a perfectly good piece and I screw it up really well ;) In fact a joke in our pit is that we need to do hinge of the month cause I have some beauties :-\  All in all I think I am getting better.  I have been told I am just impatient :laugh:  Let me know what ya think.....what am I doing right and where can I do better :P

Yep ! Progress is apparent. Whack rock and whack more rock. It's the only way. That hornstone is tough stuff.  '  Frank
