AncientArcher76:
You will find in time and practice with each typ of rock you can usually get a lot of overshots.  I find on the tougher stone getting overshots early on in reduction is about your only hope of getting it relatively thin.  Btw nice piece of crystal.  I haven't found any big enough around here but its here... I hope to find some one day..would love to make a few for a keeper case!

I would like to see how the biface is held and the placement of the punch. The rest, I understand. Nice post - thank you for the info!

I'll also check out that video sometime.

Steve great video!  I do envy those who can control and use hammerstones to do detailed work.
