How not to make a LeCroy

<< < (2/4) > >>

1442:
I like it.

le0n:
hah hah hah.

i had the same thing happen to me yesterday: started with a brick and ended up with a point smaller than the flakes i was taking off in the beginning. i photo documented it because i was doing well at first, but i couldn't rid the steps. the main difference was the point never broke; i percussed away at it until it was tiny.

bowmo:
Haha...a common theme in my knapping.

bowmo:
Beautiful point though! Even if it should have been the tip of a longer point...  ::)

Zuma:
Thanks guys
Sorry for you to bowmo :'(
Yeah I will never photo that stuff again.
 I always loose them. :'(
The break happened after (I) took a break to
help my neighbor fix his trailer hitch.
It was the very first tap when I returned. :'(
Worse yet is, I snapped the other half, in half too :embarassed: :embarassed:
Zuma ???
