first non preform point HELP PLEASE

<< < (5/6) > >>

Spotted Dog:
Yea I am hooked. Just gotta keep those chips of my new floor.

Thank you for the help.

Another way to get longer flakes is to press straight into the point with a bit of force right on the edge then while pressing in peel the flake down. It looks like your not placing your tine on the edge but up a bit more. That'll usually result in a short chip. It's good to do on the opposite side of a ridge so then you can flip it over and remove the whole ridge in one go. I'll post a picture later to illustrate. I can't draw nearly as well as Iowa.

le0n:
^^ any updates? :)

Tracker0721:
Ha, I'll get pictures tomorrow. I got a new pellet gun and didn't even look at my knapping stuff today.

Spotted Dog:
I will get back out in my garage Thursday and work a bit . Got a sick granddaughter
to take care of.
