Dang! With all these fine Daltons I think we should try a calf creek next time?  ;D (Sorry, I kinda lost my mind there for a minute)  >:D

Very nice points!

Calf creeks sound good. Most of the one's in my id book have the ears already broken off or worked down anyway ::).

I've tried them on a few occasions,and always end up with snapping ears. A buddy told me to keep the preform wide,thin the base well and run the notches. Then go back and bring the sides in  to finish. Never tired it....yet. ;)

Thin the base first then run the notches using inderect pressure flaking. Then thin up the rest. Make sure the basic shape is there before thinning the base though!

Hmm, that sounds a little spooky - running the notches first. I'd be afraid that'd be more likely to snap the ears than the other way. I'm no authority on calf creeks though :).

Nah, Nah Timo! Inderect PRESURE flaking. Means coming from the back side of the notch not the front.
