Entries close 29th April
Results 1st week in May

The original rules that John came up with require concave.
I don't see that using any other steel would really be comparable.
Concave is unique to itself in the way it is worked.

If we open it to other steel it would have to be approved by all who participate.

I picked up some concave so I can hopefully have a go at this one. In my practice runs I have been having a booger of a time punching the concave. I tried starting with my forpunch then pritcheling through, distorted the section, then just pritchling through, seems way to thick. building a drift tonight trying that. I am open for suggestions? I forgot to pick up E head nails, I think that would be easier than trying to use Citys.
