hello, everyone. my name is leon.
i wanted to introduce myself and start a thread where i can post a few photos of some knapped points that i've managed to create.
february of this year is when i attempted to create my first points. glass was easy to source for practice material, so that is what i've been practicing with.
in an open manner, i am going to post some photos of those first points. they are rather embarrassing, however, i'd like to do this to show my progression in some sort of chronological order. hopefully as time goes on, they'll progressively get better, heh heh.
wow, these were rough. but, with little to no instruction this is what they looked like when i started:
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XVXe4g-Wsw4/UvsVYbfacnI/AAAAAAAAFnI/Zl7OwO6mxto/w600/14%2B-%2B1)
materials: fake sea glass, cool water cologne bottle, mountain dew bottle
i didn't have any tools at that time either, other than safety glasses, a piece of leather, a small copper pipe that had the end hammered flat, but, that was enough to get me started.
here's another one i tried from a bottle bottom. i learned early on to really despise the convex/concave surfaces of bottle bottoms. needless to say, this point is not flat:

anyway, i'm going to dig around in my phone and post some more pictures that i find.
enjoy :)

Welcome to PA I think you will like this extended family. Your looking great on your points. Keep knapping & keep posting.

Keep those friend. I wish I kept my first ones.

^^ thanks, and thanks for the welcome.
Keep those friend. I wish I kept my first ones.
i have them tucked away. but early on i did ponder 'losing' them.

Welcome aboard and keep them coming. You're doing great. I do suggest letting the copper stick out only about 1/3 to 1/2 as much as you are showing there. You're well on your way.

more rock from my cousin. geeze this stuff is sharp. i was also testing the waters with an antler that was given to me by a friend. the cleaner antler is one i found at petco.

here's a microscope shot of an obsidian sliver than i got out of my finger. i set it on a slide that had a slice of a plant for scale.

thanks for the welcome and thanks for the suggestion.

haha I got to admit this is pretty cool. You come a long way. :D

Nice timeline, where are you in Texas, some really fine knappers there
-
Welcome to PA, we need more knappers on this site. I haven't seen that many pics in a topic in quite some time. That must have taken a while. I do like the progression of the points. You are coming around just fine. The copper really helps, I couldn't knapp a peppermint with antler. Where are you in Texas, I'm in College Station.
-
Thanks, it's been a really fun and challenging learning process so far. I haven't got around to trying to recognize/replicate certain styles just yet. These are just 'what feels right at the time' kind of points.
Houston Texas.
-
Looking good so far! The bad part about our part of Texas (I'm ~hour SE of Houston) is the lack of natural rock. Though I've found some decent stuff at landscape suppliers!
-
Leon, you're in good company now. I was in your shoes not too long ago and it just takes time (and tonnage.) I know TX is big, but look around and you should get into some nice stuff before long. till then, keep breaking that glass. Welcome to the obsession!
-
^^ i do need to check out one of the nearest landscaping places and just see what they have in stock.
in regards to the timeline, there's going to be a gap. due to the card failure, i don't have any photographs (time/date stamps) from sometime in may to early september. looking back, that's about the time when it got hot in houston and i took a break from knapping due to the glass flakes sticking to my skin (no air condition in the garage).
anyway, below is a shot of some pieces i still have access to. we're in the process of moving and a few of the later ones i kept on display were removed from the living room shelf and are now placed into a box somewhere. i can safely state that these were done before it got too hot outside ;)
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ZVn_ETl7n4k/VHQgZhTFu0I/AAAAAAAAHjw/5hWjMipd9KY/w800/14%2B-%2B1)
i can also safely state that i've ruined two to three times more than what you see in that photograph. some while working, lots while notching and some i just flat out fumbled onto the concrete floor when i was finishing them.

november
i got some rock from 3rivers not too long ago. went at it with the antlers tonight; after pre-forming with the bopper. no abrading.
it was an odd-shaped spall so it took a lot of material removal to get moving in the right direction.

Wow! Coming a long way! I wish I had kept some of my first points to check my progress... but they did make good gifts haha. Looking forward to your next piece of art
-
That's a lot of glass knapping there! Progression looks fine.
If your in the Houston area and looking for chert theirs some nice pieces around the bank at sea wolf park. Just don't let them see ya. Lol. And who knows, may load up on flounder while your at it.

You are a "napper " You are doing good work there now all you have to do is find you a rock source Welcome to the art ' Frank

Thanks, guys.
Seawolf, you say, hah hah. I'd get caught.

i made it out to Roundrock, Tx this weekend in hopes of getting to navigate some creek beds for materials. due to time restraints, i only managed to visit a landscaping supply company in Georgetown, Tx.
they didn't have a "flint" bin on the premises, but i was able to find some promising pieces of "Colorado River Bull Rock". it was only $0.07/lb and they allowed me to pick out what i wanted from the bins. after about 30 minutes of acoustic testing with a small hammer stone, i walked away with 60lbs of nodules for less than 5 dollars.
only two of the larger nodules gave a really sharp ring when tapped, but this morning i was getting some decent spalls from one of the 'softer' rocks.
i'll post back with some photographs and perhaps someone can help identify what i actually have, because i didn't see "bull rock" on the PA rock resource thread.
-
Amazing that little leaf piece didn't break off, just shows you how frightening sharp Obsidian is. I have cut myself, pretty good many times, and did not know I was cut, till I noticed either the rock getting slick, or sticky, or noticed blood dripping onto the floor. :o You are certainly coming along pretty fast! Doing excellent.

Way to go Leon! That's the way to do it. Some of that "bull gravel" will heat up nicely, so you might try it if it's too tough in the raw state. I know of a landscape supply in Round Rock also. I wonder if it's the same place I've been to.
-
^^ thanks, guys.
i'm going to attempt to cook a few of them in a few days.
what temp and duration do you recommend for bull gravel, Patrick?
(also, the landscaping place is on 35, just north of the outlet mall)
said rocks:

the test rock (in the background) had a geode center.
sort of wondering if i can work this spall to have the crystals on the base of the point (if i don't break it):
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KQz5ChJJPnc/VQkJjG2oZmI/AAAAAAAAIJw/7N1-alTIojY/w1024-h576-no/15%2B-%2B3)
two halves that i found in the bin:

and a re-enactment of what happened this morning while testing the soft rock. i felt it hit me and then the glove was pinned to my thumb.

there was no denying the blood flow when i removed that little talon. i decided to get ready for work after that, hah hah.
next time i'll use a thick leather pad to hold the nodule.

For cooking temps, see the last line of my signature: Light Colors: 200deg for 24hrs, 400deg for 4hrs, Cool for 12hrs.
That's a good rule of thumb for most stone. If it doesn't respond, you can try higher temps if you have a kiln. (500 to 650 degrees). If it breaks up at 400+ degrees, then back off to 300. Less than 300 doesn't do much.
If you have dark colors (browns, greys, blacks) they tend to like lower temps in most cases: 300 to 350 degrees. You have to experiment with the dark stuff.
-
Thanks, man :)
-
Let us now how it works out. You've got some nice stone there, especially the tan stuff. I need to take a trip out that way... :)
-
here's an attempt at the raw rock. geeze, it is tough.
it takes some serious pressure to drive even the shortest of flakes.
so i now have a baseline to compare against the heat treated material.

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-uiVz_kAHCp4/VQwxKgdPeaI/AAAAAAAAIMc/M0KXUJrkcVQ/w1278-h719-no/15%2B-%2B1)
(i couldn't find the tool in google+ to just draw a circle around it)
-
That rock can be extremely tough raw. If you can make your way to just south of San antone there's corn fields full of that stuff (laCoste). They even pave the back roads with it around Lytle.
-
That rock can be extremely tough raw.
^^ true.
but i feel like it could survive a harsh impact.
i spent about an hour trying to spall some of the rock i picked up. trying to plan/predict the resulting flake before applying the hammer stone is difficult. that being said, one out of ten times the rock did what i wanted it to do.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-go7w22qVLhg/VRBEyQd_cVI/AAAAAAAAINs/CiWeujD_1bk/w972-h547-no/15%2B-%2B1)
there are twice as many spalls that aren't shown in that photo; these came from three of the original stones.
the shapes of the spalls weren't very pleasing to me, but looking back, they aren't too far away from what i usually get from 3rivers. some are better and some are worse. so i think they'll be more than ok to work with.
-
took a break from the spalling and started peeling a part of a bleach bottle bottom (previous photo) that was given to me; thanks Thunder ;)

that smooth ridge is a concave valley.

spent another quarter hour on this tonight. i almost have the original surface completely scarred.

You got some nice spalls up there Le0n. Keep it up you are doing good.
-
ok, guys.
i'm finally done with the 'projects' that come with moving into a new house.
the weather is a little more forgiving now too.
i got this box of heat-treated keokuk "flakes" yesterday afternoon and couldn't wait to try some of it.

i can't find my copper bopper yet (misplaced in the move) so i went at the piece with a hammer stone. it wasn't pretty but i got the big bulb down where i could start seeing a preform. i almost started a new piece because i was left with a rather thick preform without much room to thin, but i decided to see what i could make of it.
this was as thin as i could get it.

it may not look like it, but it took me over an hour to get to that, but i didn't want to give up on the first rock that came out of the box ;)

Leon, I can't see the photos in that last post. Try editing the post and reinserting them.

had some free time this afternoon to work on some more flakes. my daughter was picking them out and seeing what i could do with them.

i was dealt a really wavy flake. so i attempted to make a leaf.
while thinning a ridge, i revealed this in the process:

i'll light it up and take a macro shot later on to see what the inside of that pocket looks like.
i'm really beginning to like the feel of this stuff.

Awesome leaf! Cool idea

Thanks, it was fun :)

Nice work, keep it up!

worked on this flake yesterday with a tine in an attempt to finish it without copper:

i switched to copper halfway though because i couldn't thin it enough without loosing too much width; called it quits at this point (pun intended?):

it's almost impossible for me to drive a flake on the convex face of the ridge. they tend to step fracture halfway towards the ridge.

it has some steps that i wasn't about to chase, but i'm still happy with it.
i need to find my smaller tine for notching this guy.
then again, i may just leave it alone.

I love your progression.

^^ thank you.
i'm far from where i want to be with it, but i intend to keep pushing forward :)
-
^^ thank you, Sir.
here's another i did with the antler percussion + tine flaking.
i started out with this huge relatively flat flake; (had high hopes for this piece):

and i managed to make a narrow point out of it, hah hah.
i should have paid attention to the inclusions when i was laying it out.
it ended up being right on one of my edges. lost more width than i wanted to while getting under it.

Hey if you sharpen a tine flat like a screwdriver or use a horseshoe nail you can peel those steps right off! And I'm changing my percussion to hitting the piece on my leg and that picture of how your holding yours wrapped and on the opposite side is exactly what I need to try. I'm an idiot and I keep trying to hold the point at an angle.
-

i hadn't tried that yet. thanks.
And I'm changing my percussion to hitting the piece on my leg and that picture of how your holding yours wrapped and on the opposite side is exactly what I need to try.
it seems to work. the only bad thing for me right now is that i hit my leg many times more than i hit the edge. a thicker piece of leather should reduce that pain though.

i was gifted this rock a few months ago. the person claimed to have picked it up by a creek bed 20+ years ago. she doesn't remember where it came from, but she thinks she's almost certain that she found it in texas. she always imagined it to be a hatchet of some sort :)
it appears to have been worked by someone, but it doesn't look like anything spectacular, so i may try to dig into it in the next couple of days.

LeOn, I could not see the pictures of you setting the antler tine against your leg for knapping the point.
Your points are looking great, nice work.

hacked away this bit of elm about a month ago with my hatchet. decided to work on it some more this evening.

Man, that's what it's all about. I tip my hat for your posting progression like that. Well done, great post. Cool to see some of your thoughts on the ABO tool side of things, recently.
-
Don't forge that incipient cones happen from over striking edges too often. If you tend to hit more than a couple times without getting a flake release, you could be causing those steps with the micro fractures you are leaving on the edges.
-
Oh.
Then that is definitely something I need to pay more attention to.

here's something i've been tinkering with.
i mentioned it on Spotted Dog's "trouble thinning" thread (ABO Board): http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,54896.msg747440.html#msg747440 (http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,54896.msg747440.html#msg747440)
anyway, the results have encouraged me to pick up the more challenging pieces in the box of rocks i have.
below is an example of what i'm learning to do with this method.
not slim by any means; and i wouldn't have touched this for anything other than practicing percussion strikes:

this rock is tough.
i dropped the point twice on the concrete floor and it didn't break; only from a foot off of the floor though, but still.
it emits a high-pitch sound like glass when it lands.

Great looking points. I like the picture progress.

^^ thanks, man.
it means a lot coming from you.
i marvel at your work on my computer screen, however, i actually had the opportunity to handle a few of your hunting points the other day. so many questions, hah hah.

this keokuk flake has been sitting on my desk for quite sometime now. i was always afraid to break it and or not being able to preserve the "focal point", so i left it at work where i wouldn't touch it.

That's odd, arent they suppose to be broken at that stage... >:D
-
^^ yep.
i took a photo because i knew i was going to break it.
then i took a few more photos to show how far i got before i broke it.
i'll probably snap it while notching, hah hah.

i've had the heat on this since yesterday evening, so 21 hours so far.

it should still be warm well into tomorrow afternoon.
so maybe i can retrieve the rocks on tomorrow evening after work.
i laid down sand (.5 cubic foot) in the fire pit until it was almost level with the top (layering my flakes and spalls within); then built the fire on top.

the metal bottom of the fire pit has been reading around 250°F for about 19 hours now, so i'm guessing the sand is at least 400°F; being that the top layer of hot coals is over 800°F.
hopefully this works because i put about $2 worth of Colorado (River) Bull rocks in there, hah hah.
-
they were cooled already and i dug them up.
check out what the sand sounded like when i removed the ashes:

I've really enjoyed following along on your thread. That bull rock looks to be exactly the same stuff I've been picking up in Houston. I'm going to have to try your indirect percussion method. Thanks for sharing it. Josh
-
Any form of indirect in instantly addictive. Make sure you have insurance that covers rehab... >:D
-
Josh, just to let you know, I sit on a short step stool. It's only about 14" tall. This is how I can get by with the short 4x4 block. I guess I could get a taller block.
I've tried to do it with a normal chair height and it feels like I'm leaning over way too much.
Like Patrick said, once you get results from indirect it's hard to switch back.
-
the treated rock works much better.
i can actually do something with it now.
