New point

<< < (2/2)

Must watch Paleomanjims videos on making Gunther points on Youtube! I love them guys!!! Nice point. Now try it a bit larger?

 Hint! When working on the tangs hold it by the tang and flake toward your finger. Also, never put any pressure on the center of the point. If you do you will break off the tangs. make sure your finger support the back edge of the point and that will lessen the breakages. Should anyway but I'm not always right on these things!

Regrettably, I don't have access to YouTube.  I've heard that there are a lot of good videos on there.   Thanks for the ideas on how to support it.  I don't like to make them much bigger.  I like the delicate, little refined look and feel.

If you are on the net you should be able to get to Youtub. Type in www.youtube.com and you should be able to access it.

To me those little winged points are harder to make than a 12 inch blade, broke more than I have finished.....Keeping those long barbs on is tricky.
