Clovis and Folsom
xin:
Like Cowboy said, Just make sure you have the piece supported really well or you will break the distal end. I know this because I've probably broken 30 or 40. Yes, my learning curve is pretty flat. Lots of support if you're not using a jig.
D. Tiller:
God I hope the two princesses never see this post! :o
xin:
Tiller, I hope they do see it. Two members, both Tennessee boys, of our coterie confessed to some sort of gutter tittilation by the mention of Clovis pt nipples. I can only assume this resulted from the repression into the subconscious of some vague lascivious thought. Confession has a purifying element all its own, so I think they're OK now,However, just to make sure maybe the princesses should go to the next knappin and give themboth a spanking. I think both parties would enjoy it.
Pappy:

J. B. Solberger made a jig that made fluting quite easy. I have several of his points and they were all thin. What I have found that works SOMETIMES is to push the point into grass sod to give support to the blade. I have one of his jigs that he sent me before he passed away but don't use it. Watcher
