Pretty good first point. When trying to thin always remember the centerline rule. Don't be scared to break it trying to thin it. Remember its just a rock until its finished.   Tower

You are doing great,you might not have to break 2,000 lbs. of rock before your turning out consistent points. (I think I went 3 or 4 thousand)  '  Frank

Thanks guys, Unfortunetly i was showing my sis my second point and because i didnt have a strong grip on it, as she tapped it it fell on to the floor and broke in half. No big deal i guess, just time to make more LOL
