Latest attempts at points

<< < (3/4) > >>

Justin Snyder:
Attempt ??? ??? Those are great looking points.  I wish I could smash rocks that pretty.  Justin

DBernier:
Justin, because I don't practice like Charlie B., Vinson, James, Hillbilly and some of the other guys, I will always be a hit and miss type napper. I can make one, what I consider a nice one, and then make/brake several or screw it up somehow. I try and keep to the basics and not get "TOO" fancy. If I do that perhaps I can embed it in my brain and come out with better points more frequently. All I can do is try. My "theme" this year is bi-face, bi-face, bi-face and more bi-faces. Now that is good practice. I'll post a good photo of that Basalt one if I get the hinges off of it. I also have to remember to put a scale next to them when photographing them.

jamie:
dick they look great. i like that dalton. im gonna have to try that.  if i get a hinge earlier on in the formation of the point and i cant reach it from the opposite side i will build it up even more so there is a prominent edge that i can get under and pop the whole thing off. took me a while to realise i could do that. i smashed more points on the floor trying to get rid of hinges .

DBernier:
Thanks Jamie. I know the feeling when you screw up on platform prep, yep saw it right off, you say to your self. I just put the point in my box of, "Hey stupid, don't do that", points. I can look at each one and remember what happened when "I did that".

  Dick those little "jewelers tools" I had were for lifting those hinges off.I like steel for that,they won't bend.If they do it's time to come in from the other side like Jamie said.
