some new glass points

<< < (2/4) > >>

Hillbilly:
Good looking points.

Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
thanks guys, the glass on the bottom right is actually the best outa the 3 for sure. its got good flakes all the way to center and nice'n thin and SHARP.  its a shame that glass doesnt show detail well in pictures.   i got some more from the same place today so i am goin to hopefully knock out another tonight, so i'll take pictures of that too if i get around to it.

David w.- I was following along with you misfortune with the glass and your hand. Frmo what i gathered you folks said no more knappin?  if so thats a shame cuz with a little practice you could be there soon enough. how old are you now? perhaps soon enough they will let you give it another try.

david w.:
im 14 and yer right no more knappin. maybe with kevlar gloves but not soon maybe ina few months or next year at the soonest.  i really enjoyed it.

The wine bottle i was working on was SOO sharp i couldnt believe it.  I never once felt the cut.  It could easily kill a deer

Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
yeah your young still, you have plenty of time to learn. once it cools off a bit, get a piece of toiler tank and show them that its not real sharp (compared to glass) they may let you work with that

Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
as promised, another glass point. for what its worth anyway. it turned out extremely nice. good flakes across and scary sharp, ofcourse the camera doesnt show these nice traits.....the hershey's kiss is all i had on hand for scale..lol
