Your points are so thin!!  You could probably make two points out of one of mine because they are so much thicker.  I know that thinning will come with tonage (see I do listen :P) but do you have any one piece of advice that you think I should work on now?  Great point ;)

Chertie, know your limits. I thin with percussion & pressure . Mostly pressure. You have a really good grasp on the Idea. A good point takes me about 3 hrs. A quickie, about 45 min. My best advice is platforms, centerline, abrision,thin the high spots first. "& I alt bevel. Tower

Sir, I have just got to sit down with you and learn this. I understand the concept, it is just the execution that is getting me. That first one is what I am shooting for for hunting points.
Do you think the material has any 'effect'? "I have been going obs cause that's what I can afford.

Material plays a huge role in w/ pressure thinning. The first point is raw local & the 2nd is heated local.if a stone isn't wanting to cooperate I take it as thin as I can w/ percussion & then heat it.
