Title: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: Hillbilly on October 17, 2008, 10:49:05 am: Anybody interested? I like collecting other knapper's points. I have points that some of you have made, would like to have more. :) We could do it like the knife swap or Christmas trade, see who's interested, then draw names to see who gets who.

Post by: Mechslasher on October 17, 2008, 10:57:19 am: throw my name in. i can make a squirrel blunt so long as eddie doesn't hate on it.
Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: DanaM on October 17, 2008, 11:01:22 am: What kind of time line ya thinking Steve? I'm done with my KITH knives, haven't started on my Christmas Trade yet and its
hunting season, not to mention I'm not real fast at the knapping or very good either.
Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: John K on October 17, 2008, 11:12:16 am: I'm with Dana on this one, sounds like fun, but i'm not that good yet either, but i would try.
Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: JackCrafty on October 17, 2008, 11:46:01 am: Hmmm....I actually gave up knapping....at least a dozen times. I won't touch a piece of rock now unless it's sandstone (I've made a few shaping tools, for wood, from coarse sandstone).

I've switched to bone. I can make replica Cahokia and Sioux bone points. Does that count?
Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: Otoe Bow on October 17, 2008, 11:46:27 am: Practice makes perfect. Since I've given every point away I've made so far, why not practice some more and give it away too. I'm in.

Mike
Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: Hillbilly on October 17, 2008, 11:50:39 am: I would say a pretty generous timeline, kinda like the knife swap-maybe the end of Nov or so (or whenever everbody thinks), send points whenever you get 'em done? Phillip, bone points would be fine with me. Also, I'd say enter multiple times if you want to.
Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: JackCrafty on October 17, 2008, 11:54:39 am: I'm in. ;D
Title: Re: Point Swap

Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: JackCrafty on October 17, 2008, 01:01:46 pm: Put me in 3 times. I'll do a 3 for 1 (on each swap): three bone arrowheads for each stone point. ;D
Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: Outbackbob48 on October 17, 2008, 02:03:44 pm: Put me in for 1. This will be a little insentive to get my knapping tools back togeather. I sure do like looking at others points a styles of knapping. Later Bob

Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: madcrow on October 18, 2008, 08:15:06 pm: Looks good so far. I am sure that there are more out there thinking about joing in. Go for it. It would be a really good time to start a collection or add to the one you already have.

Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: Hillbilly on October 20, 2008, 09:42:30 am: OK, updated list, hopefully I've got everybody so far:

Hillbilly (3)

Saw Filer (3)
HardawayPoints
Robustus
Cowboy
Dingleberry
Double D
JAMIE

This is shaping up to be a lot of fun. I'll give it until Wednesday afternoon, then put all the names in a hat and draw. What I'll probably do is add all the names, pull them out, and list them in order they're drawn, then everybody sends a point to the person below them on the list. How's that sound? Oh, and Tiller, you've got over a month to make a point-go for it.
Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: jamie on October 20, 2008, 09:55:06 am: i think ya got everybody but me ;)

Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: Hillbilly on October 20, 2008, 04:54:55 pm: Paint pen works good. Yep, sign 'em. I usually sign mine on the side with all the steps and hinges that you can't see when it's in the case. ;D

Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: brian melton on October 21, 2008, 11:17:02 pm: Can the signing be optional, personally I don't liked signed points, and I don't sign mine. I believe that your signature is in the point not on it.... ;D
Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: Hillbilly on October 22, 2008, 12:28:29 pm: All right, everybody who hasn't signed up yet, get with it. I'll do the drawing tonight around 8:00 or so.

Post by: Keenan on October 22, 2008, 02:01:58 pm: Alright Hillbilly Just quit kicking me ;D Been hisitant because I sometimes over commit and trying to learn not to. But just got some good flakes knocked out and have actually got alot faster and better at the points this year so count me for 3.

Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: DanaM on October 22, 2008, 07:58:32 pm: Steve I need to bow out of the trade, I just recieved some sad news and won't have the time to chip some points.
Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: Hillbilly on October 22, 2008, 10:08:52 pm: OK, drum roll please.......I just put all the names in a hat (olive felt fedora, size 7 1/4) :) and got my son Cody to draw them out and call out the names.
How this works: You send a point to the person below you on the list, you get a point from the person above you. Last person on the list sends a point to the first person on the list. PM your point recipient for their address. Try to have them in the mail by the last of November. And oh yeah, post a pic of the point you got so we can all drool over them. This should be a lot of fun. If I missed anybody or screwed anything up, let me know.

Title: Re: Point Swap
Post by: Hillbilly on October 22, 2008, 10:21:04 pm: Keenan, it worked out well in the luck of the draw. With a few people in multiple times, I was afraid I would end up with the same person at the start and end of the list. :)

Post by: Keenan on October 23, 2008, 06:32:41 am: Shannon, I've seen your work and you did great even on your first points. And your last ones looked about as professional as it gets. I'd be honored to have one of your points in my arsenal ;)

Post by: D. Tiller on October 23, 2008, 10:35:24 pm: I'm going to work on making Ishi points. Never done it but there is always a first time. Seems like there is a big difference in how obsidian points and flint points are made. Materials seem to dictate how they come out.
Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: cowboy on October 23, 2008, 10:54:29 pm: Ishi points are simple really D. Just make your elongated triangle, move up about a quater inch from the base and notch em - voila, huntin point :).
Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: D. Tiller on October 24, 2008, 12:04:26 am: but with expanded notches?
Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4

Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: cowboy on October 24, 2008, 12:52:09 pm: I've ended up with the extremely expanded notches several times myself ::). Don't know why Ishi liked to do em that way other than maybe his hafting material was big or it just held on better - straight notches hold plenty well enough for me :).

Post by: madcrow on November 01, 2008, 09:20:01 pm: I get to post the first pic :P. This is the point that I received from JohnK. Maybe he will chime in with the type of rock, because I still can't tell the difference in most of them. It is a nice point and will look good in my display case, after I make one. I weighed it just for giggles. 291.4 grains. What a slammer.

Wow,,, What a beauty,,, I think I'd be able to bring down T Rex with this one. Very nice Roger. The flaking is excellent and love the color. We definitely don't have anything around here like that. Thank you.

Hillbilly, I've got your mammoth blade roughed out. It's not quite 48" but will probably work for hunting Bigfoot. ;D Anyone ever try napping slate ;D Just kidding of-coarse Keenan

Post by: cowboy on November 05, 2008, 06:04:59 pm: Got a point mailed off today. Fishoonah, hope your still in WA. You'll have a little work to do when you get it - you'll see what I mean ::).
Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: mullet on November 05, 2008, 07:40:25 pm: Paul you can tell by the color, that coral is heat treated. then it's almost as easy as heat treated Novaculite.

Post by: cowboy on November 05, 2008, 09:08:29 pm: Eddie: I'm going to spall around on that peice and see what I get out of it. If It's not satisfactory I'll cook it - hopefully some deer and hawgs will come of it :).
Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: Hillbilly on November 05, 2008, 09:50:12 pm: Keenan, ;D We would call that prime knapping rock here in NC. :) Nice point, Bonepile-I like those Hillsboroughs. I've got a box of Jeff's cooked coral on the way, looking forward to whacking it.
Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: mullet on November 05, 2008, 09:52:18 pm: That stuff, Paul is top of the line Coral. It's a frustrating bear to work raw, sometimes. If you do cook it try around 450 to 500 dgs. overnite.
Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: D. Tiller on November 06, 2008, 03:05:52 am: Cant figure it out! I was pressure flaking this evening and was having trouble getting the flakes to run long. The other day I had no trouble at all. Maybe I was not shearing enough? Seems like they were all terminating short for some reason. I was working from flakes and there always seemed to be short terminations where the down turn in the middle of the flake was and I could not seem to run long flakes into it. I was setting up the bulb of percusion as the tip. Hmmm! Maybe that was my problem? maybe I should have just gotten rid of that part and used the flatter sections? Any ideas? ???
Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: leapingbare on November 06, 2008, 03:54:25 am: Tiller from what you have said i think your problem is not with your presher flacking but with you percussion.
i think it has to do with your cross section, was the point you were working on thinner then the rest? if a point is too thin and dose not have a convex cross section then the flacks will terminate short.
Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: D. Tiller on November 06, 2008, 02:50:33 pm: Yeah it was kinda flat. ???

I will be in Puyallup,Wa. tomorrow Hanging with some flint knappers at a rock show there. I have started a point for Keenan,but have'nt gotten too far yet.There ain't a good spot on this ferry to sit and make sharp flakes.Gotta' wait until I am ashore. If I can get down to Bend in the next month,I may hold off mailing a point,and just hand it to him. ::) Today we are motoring past the Queen Charlotte Islands(British Columbia) Frank

Just in case you are wondering about the materials going left to right in your picture, high grade kay county, edwards, carrerra glass, and the one on the foreshaft is unknown to me. That fiber optics is some sweet stuff to knap if you have never tried it. Post a pic when you get a point out of it.

Post by: D. Tiller on November 09, 2008, 09:09:50 pm: House knapping is done in the garage Dana! Heres how. Get and old shop vacuum and put it outside the garage. Punch an hole in the wall for the hose. (May want to build a little shed to keep the snow off the vacuum outdoors. Also, build a little box with three sides and a Plexiglas lid. Attache the hose to the back of the box. Turn on vacuum and let is suck the bad dust outdoors. No silicosis this way! Where there is a will there is a crazy flintknapper to get it done! ;D

Post by: Keenan on November 14, 2008, 05:39:36 pm: Very Nice Shannon. You are kicking out some nice points. ;) I've got several ready to go out and everytime I see another point that someone els did I get to thinking that mine aren't good enough, so been doing allot of napping this last week ;) One thing about this little exchange is that it sure has encouraged and pushed me to try harder and also to spend more time a therock pile. ;D
I thought I was going to be sending mine out last week but decided to make some more so should be hitting the mail soon. ;)
Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: FlintWalker on November 14, 2008, 07:37:00 pm: Thanks Keenan, I guess the reason I got those out so quick is because I already had them made.
When I started trying to learn how to knapp, I went at it like fighting fire for a few weeks, then I just quit. I made about 20 points and haven't touched a pressure flaker since. ???
I think you got the nicest one, that's why I sent the other guys two each.
I'm ready for another point swap, I think I still have 3 or 4 pretty good ones left. I don't want them, and would much rather have one somebody else made.

We were waiting for the N.C. Boz's, but guess they were afraid of the rain. Anyway Chris made a nice little point. It is a big step above his squirrel points. It was real nice. Oh, Wade, found a nice little,broken, Paleo point and some inscribed pottery down at the village site Saturday after the rain.

Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: Keenan on November 18, 2008, 11:03:39 pm: Thanks John, throw me right in front of the bus and spotlight. Thank you for the compliment to the bows that I've made. Still feel like a rookie in many ways. Humbly my flint napping skills are a few years behind the bow making. And regretfully it shows. I'm learning and getting better but as I look at some of what is being turned out I am very much reminded that I have much to learn. I hope and pray that the unfortunate victims (Chris Cade, Hillbilly,and Woodbow) that I am to send to are pleased with what they receive and that my efforts don't end up on the wall of shame ::)
I've made several then seeing other decided that they weren't good enough and I've since made more. Thankfully improving each time.

(that is if i can figure out how to load a picture). the dalton style point is texas material edwards plateau and the huntin point is an 80 grain piece of peoria "keokuk" from NE oklahoma.

Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: knightd on November 22, 2008, 12:40:56 am: Cow leg bone.. I smoked them in the grill..lol.. I tried boiling and a few other ways but if you smoke them with the fat and such still on them it seemed to make the bone less Brittle and I was able to get them much sharper than the other ways.. JMO ..

Post by: cowboy on November 25, 2008, 08:34:15 pm: Looky here ya'll ;D. I finally got my mystery package from Florida, a couple of fine points knapped from none other than Mr. Eddie Parker :). Thanks friend! These will go fine with my growing collection of points from others on the site. I'm glad you autographed that one. Thinking back, I don't think I've signed a single point that I've sent out. Is the colorfull one coral?

Post by: mullet on November 25, 2008, 10:29:19 pm: Thanks, Paul and Keenan. Glad you like them Paul. The one with color is Fancy Jasper, a real bear to knap Raw. That one has been heat treated. The other one is some of that flint Claude brought back from Denmark.

Post by: Otoe Bow on November 27, 2008, 10:09:22 am: Whew....Just in the nick of time. While making Thanksgiving preparation for smoking our turkey (no frying for me this year, have you seen the price of peanut oil :o) I started trying to finish my point to replace the one I broke after notching and every thing. I then proceeded to ruin two more. I thought I was going to run out of rock and have to resort to Johnstone. ;D

Finally I was able to rough out two more preforms and finish one. I should have it in the mail Friday. Nothing like waiting to the last minute is there?.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Mike

Post by: FlintWalker on December 02, 2008, 09:32:40 pm: I got a couple nice big points from Dingleberry yesterday. I think they're white quartzite, my favorite material. ;D I make marbles from that stuff and it's tough. I bet it's a bear to knap. I'll post some pics as soon as I get a chance.
Thanks Jonathan, they look good with my collection!
Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: Dingleberry on December 02, 2008, 10:50:00 pm: Hey Shannon,

Glad you like them. I wish I could claim them as quartzite but they are actually novaculite (a great stone for beginners like me). I think some of those "Parkers" are quite good at knappin quartz/quartzite. :)

Eddie, I have dental tools, I just save 'em for the sharpening part. :) How'd I do on that Bolen bevel? That's my first attempt at one of those, I tried to make it look like an old one that's been resharpened a couple times.
Roger, from what I've seen of your work, I was about intimidated sending a point to you :D That point is the first time I've worked Knife River flint-I'd like to have a truckload of that stuff....

Post by: Otoe Bow on December 10, 2008, 02:46:38 pm: All right gang, I'd like to formally apologize to John (aka Former Butcher) in that I just got back from the post office to mail his points. :-[ I know I boasted several times that "I was headed to the post office", but being on the road, them rascals are hard to find open (especially in big cities like Nashville). ::)

John: Be sure and look in the bottom of the envelope separate from the two pill bottles. There's a really "crappy" Johnstone point I threw in for good measure. I packed one point in a pill bottle and I also threw in some recent flies in the second. I hope you can use them before all your water gets hard for the winter. There'll be more headed you way.

Now, to find time for the Christmas exchange............. ???

Post by: cowboy on December 16, 2008, 08:23:01 am: Cool points Mike! I've found points that look like those - is that black one Dacite? Them are some nice lookin flies, if I was a fish - I'd dang sure eat em ;D.

Post by: Hardawaypoints on December 16, 2008, 07:31:46 pm: (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a257/hardawaypoints/Knapped%20points/ThanksJames.jpg)

I got these from robustus today.
Those Hardaway points are my favorites (can you tell?) The side notch is well made, thin, & sharp enough to hunt with.
The blade on the left also looks like Rhyolite, but it is a color I've never seen before. It could go to work skinning right now.
Real nice work. Thanks, James!

Post by: Otoe Bow on December 17, 2008, 06:42:20 pm: I know it's not surprising, but I draw flies better than I tie them ;D.

Paul, I think that is what it is. It's some of my Father's Day rock. I had I nice one going out of Naviculite, had it thin, sharp and notched. Then I saw one more little area to clean up, and well......you probably know the rest of the story. Needless to say, I glued it back together and I'm going to use it as a light chain pull fob.

Post by: leapingbare on December 27, 2008, 08:18:20 am: The Man who got me into primitive skills, and stuff.. i used to live with him and his wife.. and during deer session we would get shipments of hides from the local butcher shop. well sometimes we would have 80+ hides laying around waiting to get fleshed , racked and scrapped.. we Had like 30 rakes made up.. and i remember fleshing and stringing hides up from sun up to sun down.
I a really looking forward to getting back and doing some more tanning this spring down at the cabin..

Title: Re: Point Swap-Final List on page 4
Post by: madcrow on January 02, 2009, 10:22:12 pm: All three points I sent out were glass. One clear one that was an old Log Cabin bottle, one brown one that was some sort of medicine bottle and a white one that was part of a gravy dish or something. I don't know who got what, I just wrapped them up and got them in the mail. I would post pics, but I was in such a hurry that I forgot to take any.
