thanks Rob, for me, the hardest part right now is getting it to form the way i want. i am getting better at making bigger flakes so thats good, my goal is to make a point thats ascetically pleasing from the rest of my 15-20 lb box of rocks.

Try to remember you want to try to make your flake go at least halfway or more to thin the best thing I found was to get a bucket of practice rock its a lot cheaper and you'll learn a lot from it make sure you keep some of your first ones & compare them in a couple of months keep chippin its addictive.
