Flint points

<< < (2/4) > >>

Kviljo:
Thanks everyone :)

Yep, it's perhaps even more fun than scraping on a dry wooden stick ;)


These are among my first points, so I'm struggeling a bit with getting long flakes. I'll grind some more, and try to set up platforms before I chip away.
Is there any good videos or pictorials on the net explaining how?

This flint is Danish. All the flint we find here in Norway has traveled from Denmark, but those are too small and has too many fractures to make anything sensible from, so these have traveled by car, hehe.

DBernier:
Nice job Kviljo. Beautiful looking flint. You certainly are not the first of us beginning nappers to struggle with long flakes. What makes me so mad   >:(  at myself is one point will look like I have been doing this for years  ;D. The next point, back to reality and mediocrity. :-[ Keep up the good work.

Kviljo,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Go to"Youtube.com".   There are some reallly good videos for beginners and experts.  They've improved my knapping tremendously.  Removing long flakes are all about strong platforms well below the center liine. 

jamie:
those are exactly how i started. they look real good.

Hillbilly:
Yep, look for Marty Rueter (Flintknappingtips) and Jim Winn's videoes on YouTube. Jerry Adams (Scalp Creek) has a couple good ones on there aimed toward newer knappers, also.
