Thread: Having some trouble

I was just browsing through some old threads and found a description of scything as having the heel at a fixed point and rotating the toe, simple yet explanatory description. It made me think of military lines wheeling, where one end marches with smaller steps than the other.
Guillotine is where you hold the blade at an angle greater than 90 degrees to the direction of cut.

I'm going to try it tonite see what I can make happen. Thanks and I take any tips help I can get.

I have a hard time stretching my skin to slick. What do y'all do about that?

I always have a towel on hand and wipe my fingers on that, I also use the back of my fingers a lot, as it gives better traction, but that is mostly on my neck. I also make a lot of faces. A lot of guys use the alum block to help give their fingers grip, but my skin does not like the alum block.
