A. T., i could give a rats arse about paleo planet, all that i did was make a simple request, and not only did you not answer my simple question, you preceded to talk down to us like we were primates with a learning disorder. We there's a saying ," I'd rather be pissed off than pissed on" and you went and acomplished both, congrats ::)

I am with Bubby.
Ben, Why do you need Paleoplanet! Here is a platform for you to discuss it with people who were, at least, willing. I hate to say it but this is his MO. Stir up trouble, never have the conversation he says he so desperately wants. This is why he is banned from three other site. Stir up mud and then run. It will not get better.

Okay, here is a closer shot of the "finished point". It is a nice blend of fluting, coast to coast flaking, plus invasive scars, which do a great deal to hide some facets of technological application.
P.S. Here is a little secret. If you ever hear abo replicators complaining about not getting the edges that they like by pressure flaking, just mention that they could avoid pressure flaking all together, while getting better edges. Pressure flakes frequently create plane-like flakes, that sometimes hinge. In some cases - depending on the contour of the surface of the point - a knapper might not want plane like flakes, that hinge. This is especially noticeable in obsidian. So, you may want to go for something that can curve over the contour somewhat, while fully terminating. Just a thought.

That's cool...a video with narration on the technique would be awesome...and no I don't want a discussion about it on pp , I would really like to see it live action if possible ;)

I have always seemed to get better edges with antler pressure flaker than not. Edges come of crisp and sharp.
