I think I would have done the back cut just approx 3.5mm higher

But, more importantly, the smoke seems to be blowing dangerously in the direction of the cook. (is he qualified by the way)

And that was a missed opportunity for a three way lunge whilst the cook works his thing.

I'll see what I can do,

As a matter of interest, can anyone tell me why on a heavy backleaner, I put the back cut in relatively high and not level with the gob ?

So that when winching over there is abit of a ledge for the hinge to push against as you pull it over?

It makes sense in my head, its just putting it into words lol

Lunge club applications...

because the book said so high deano, lol. i am disapointed you had to take to cuts to make your hinge mate, did you do that once it was half way over and realised you hadnt left a step

Did you make sure you'd stopped the traffic before those fells Rich and Mark???

You like living on the edge?
Alvays a risk of cutting to far and ending up with a stepcut...
sometimes hard to judge if the cuts not level...(obviously not for us pros, but for the newbies!)

hah a ha ha ahha, i am crying here, nice one lads, that is awesome, i knew mark would be up to something today, brilliant. dean stop hijacking my thread with your hinge winging

But this is my thread, started in honour of me.... and I'm trying to get it away from man poses, it's making me feel sick

The high backcut allows the hinge to "peel" forward slightly giving more flexibility to the hinge and therefore longer before it starts to break when having to winch a long way.

Hard to explain so I'll try and photo it.

Stevie, you might actually learn something other than how to show off your posing pouch mate
