OK, I knocked a couple out during the week and took pictures today.
The first one I did with a copper pressure flaker.
The next one I did with only primitive tools.

They are both made from some kind of heat treated chert.
It's really easy stuff to work with (I got several large flakes as a gift a year ago).

I did the notches with a stone pressure flaker with a shaped piece of juniper for support.

They ended up as a couple small knives for the kids (when I'm watching, of course)

Patrick, good looking points, looks like you're getting the hang of it. Jim, just hang in there, hope you can get straightened out soon.

Well, I didn't think I would have time to do this, but I got to piddlin' around today. So here is my e-notch Bolen bevel out of Jasper.

Nice points by everyone. I especially like that jasper Eddie and that rock you used Bone pile.
Here's my feeble attempt. It's made from an old bleach jug bottom. Not e-notched, but by the time I finished it...well sharpened. It's the first serrated edge point for me.

I used to leak like a sifter, but not in a good while. I don't wear gloves, so I guess I'm pretty lucky.
