Russ:
I’m trying so hard right now to make something resembling a point.... it just ain’t happening. Most are quartzite, really nice quartzite. One is bad quartzite, one is chert and another is unknown.

Russ:

Russ:
End result

Russ:
I guess you can’t see the last one well but they are broken, wonky, and thick. I still need to work one rock but we will see how that turns out

Parnell:
Hi Russell.  Well…the material looks difficult.  I know I repeat this a lot, but I think you should drop a coin on something really predictable and even to work like Dacite or Georgetown to have a consistent Pattern and some results.  Of course, there is glass and stuff.

I hope you can work through the wall.  If you think it would help I’ll FaceTime with you…send a PM if ya want.  Your call.
