I hope you are monitoring comments for this video. I have found this concept of “rattle” super useful. The only problem
I sometimes have is that sometimes I need to push the top of the heart back (resulting in base of heart starting as low as 64) in order to make this happen. 73mm blank . Any suggestions?

Hey Ross, perhaps the gouge is heavy and scraping the channels more may help

Thanks I’ll try being a little more aggressive there

Also any thoughts on how steep the V at the top of the heart should be?

4:51 it doesn’t have to be a lot
