Rams, lambs…damn.
Will keep at it, may try one of those rubber grippy things for jars….
There’s a FAQ on the sight where Clay demonstrates a stable angle using a long square followed by a diagrammatic proof of the stability of the stones until you enter a new plane from the curvature of the tip. ( See FAQ #8) But you’re right, that slight variance pales to what I would get using stones or ceramic.
Thanks
