Toilet knapping contest- become famous and win fabulous prizes!!!

[Otoe Bow]

Let's see, for those of you keeping score at home, that's:

2 crap jokes

2 "squeezing out" or straining jokes

and several  other defecation references, and we're still on the first page.

 

I like it.  Way to go Steve.  

Dana, You're killing me too.

well i was working a nice dalton about 6" long and just like my luck,  smacked it in half.    figures, well i managed a decent small point outa it but its not the one i want to show, so tomarrow maybe i'll give it another try to make a bigger one.- Ryan

I think we should deduct points for splatter marks,clingons, streaks, and any other disturbing discolorations on the johnstone heads. LOL

  Oh this is good,just got home and can't quit laughing. I'm fairly sure that there is still some royal porcelin out in my pile of crap  behind the play house    Guess I'll have to go dig through everything to see what I can find. Hopefully the snow hasn't melted into a solid sheet of ice. I don't think I want to do any ice fishing out there.   Do we get deducted for inclusions in our work What about pitting and staining
  Do we need to provide proof of authenticity of origin and a history of probable use.    
 I've heard that short quick stikes on the edge with your tool will produce random flaking.      Keenan

nice knife

[Hillbilly]

Good looking knife, Jamie.

[Hillbilly]

I got one roughly bifaced out, figured I'd take pics before I break it  I haven't decided yet whether to break it while fluting it into a Clovis, or break it while  notching it into a dovetail, or break it some other creative way.

Nice work y'all. Really like the point Steve and the knife Jamie !........................bob

OK, here's the finished product. I decided to make it into a Dalton, one of my favorite types. The johnstone kinda looks like the Burlington chert that most of those Sloan daltons were made from, but it's a heckuva lot tougher. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to try to run long pressure flakes on that stuff-I've now got a big blister on my Ishi finger.  It's a little shy of 6" long x about 1 1/4" wide. A little thick, but not bad for the point type and this crappy material-I think it would do the deed on a longhorned bison or a stray mastadon. Sorry for the crappy pics, hard to get flake scars to show on a white point.
