indirect percussion and other stuff.
« on: March 14, 2010, 02:33:21 pm »
they arent the prettiest things but the 4 larger pieces were done using indirect percussion. billet and antler punches were used to do all the thinnning and edge work. i need to clean up the edges on all of em. the other stuff is more 125 gr +/- points, and i treid my hands at some "bird points" again.

Awesome.  Like the stone you're using.  Looks like tough stuff.

Theres a few to clean up but bottom half looks good.  Gees how the heck am I supposed to keep up with you, like Dana said maybe I'm going to never sleep or quit my job one of the 2.  Hey wait a minute... `think the "old lady" will let me quit to sit home and knap all day?  NAh I dont think so either....talk to u soon Jaimie!

Ooooh, I see some concrete in that one and most of it resembles perd. Nice work on all and looks like your about to get that fluting down..

thanks guys. the big stuff is perd. the points are a mix of texas dover and a johnstone.. birds are geaorgetown, english and normanskill. really like the indirect percussion. scary part is sometimes it removes too much material. that corner notch i almost broke a couple times.

Great looking work jamie!  Glad you took a few minutes to rest. ;)  You must not have any kids.  When mine aren't keeping me busy with other things, they're trying to take my knapping tools and material! :o  I'm glad they're interested anyway.  It's kinda hard to teach something you haven't learned very well yourself though! ::)
