Title: What I finished today!!
Post by: chertle on May 29, 2012, 10:12:07 pm

I tried to finish up a couple of points I have been working on today! One of them broke but all of you have taught me to just go with the flow and see what else I can make..so I did ;) Still working on the thinning but I will get it. Shannon gave the advice to push in and then "pop" down, that is helping a ton 8) It will seem like I love the long slender points but in all honesty by the time I get done beating them up that is all I have.  I look forward to working on bigger pieces as I learn to thin without making them smaller.  It is all in the tonnage right guys  >:D

You did a good job at taking flintwalkers advice about puahing inward. I see your flakes traveling better. Keep making points and you will keep getting better. Well done on these!
