yeah it'll be a little tougher, but the more you knapp it the easyer it'll come, not easy, just easyer :laugh:, Bub
That is what I am understanding. I did some obsidian 1st, then the jasper, then the glass. After the jasper, I could really tell the difference (and ease) of the plate glass.

are you working any slabs bevan, if so try and go 1/2 ways across all around top and bottom, then you have to change your angle abit to get come arc to the point, otherwhys it will just be flat and you'll break a bunch, Bub

Looks great Bevan, really glad you could make a point of the stuff I sent ya.  I look forward to seeing many more! 

I love working the stuff with indirect percussion and copper as I tend to get too aggressive with my boppers and that "glass" just won't put up with my force  ::)

All I used was a pressure flaker Lee. No percussion at all.
