Put a couple 16d nails in the bottle and shake (careful where you stand.) Then look it up on YT there are lots of helpful videos out. Specific questions are better and post pics!!

Look up Paleomanjim on youtube, he has an excellent begginers series on flintknapping.  He is just one of many but the first one that popped into my head.

if ya put the bottle in a plastic shopping bag before ya start to shake it the bag catches the bottom of the bottle, Bub
