Point of The Month - Sticky

[Dalton Knapper]

If folks want to make some other kind of points than a Montel or Andice, I'm happy to make something else. I'd have expected that someone would have made a point by now. Hope I didn't jump the gun. Maybe people are just busy deer hunting?

I got one to stay togeather this afternoon, Not perfect but whole Tell me what ya think. West Texas rock and 3/4" notchs. Later Bob

I am nowhere near good enough to try that.  It pretty much requires punch notching huh?.

[Outbackbob48]

Papoints, I  actually think punch notchs are easier than reg notching. I use a 7018 welding rod that the flux has been knocked off from, also a pretty small dia. I flatten the end so it looks like a reg flat head screw driver with a little notch in it to set on my platform. Make sure your platform is below center . I also use a board on my lap as a table and put my point on top of my hand pad with the notch just hanging over the edge of pad. Give a sharp rap and a nice C flake comes out the bottom, keep your notch square an the corners clean. I had a small problem area on this point where i let my platform get to rounded an it stalled. Once i got it going again it was pretty routine. I have also used a large horseshoe nail for this. Give it a try on some of your debitage flakes. Bob

I'd  say that one is ready for the case, Bob.

I got a chance today to go for the Montel. Had a nice pc of Georgetown that worked fairly well. Anyway here is my version of the Montel. I have never seen one so this is from pics in overstreets. Let me know what ya think, Any body else knappin , let's see some of your points, Hey anybody out there Bob

[papoints]

Nice points Bob, thanks for the advice I may work up the stones (bad pun intended lol) to give that a try soon.

[Outbackbob48]

Tryed for another Andice today , came up a little short on my notching, finally stalled an just could get them to go again Needed to get my base thinner, any way here it is.  Not one of my better points .  Bob
