Thanks, Sam,
The video shows me where I should be going, and I am beginning to get the hang of it, yet when I watch you come out of your flat graver bright cut, almost like magic you seem to somehow flick the chip so it leaves just the correct curve in its upsweep that nicely flows into the following hairline continuation of the curve. I have experimented with your rounded heel enough to notice that this is part of the success of the flat graver's withdrawal. I am not frustrated, actually enjoying trying for more mastery. Better photo below on this unfinished 2 inch sq plate.
