  Way to go Hillbilly,  With one that good I think I just gave up ::)
 I've never even tried this crapy material until now and now I know why.  Cut my teeth on obsidian and with plenty of it around here I never ventured to get myself in trouble with the the royal throne.  Beat the crap out of a few pieces this afternoon but ended up breaking everything eventually.  Is it normal for that stuff to give off various oders while napping it ???  Keenan

Great Job Guys. I was on the road today, so no Kappin' for me.  Maybe I'll take some to work with me tomorrow and sneak off at lunch and make some flakes.  I think I'll make a hatchet.  After all, I still have the handle..... ;D

Thanks guys. One thing about johnstone, it's crappy stuff, but it'll teach you to build good platforms, it has no tolerance for bad ones. If you don't get the right platform built, the flake will step or hinge,  or the whole piece will break. Oh, and a disclaimer: the stains on the preform are blood, not something else.  ;D

I thought that was blood.  I cut myself hauling my tank out of the dump.  I feel official now.   ;)

My Johnstone attempts have been CRAPPY! Everytime I try and make one it turns into Crap. No luck yet will keep trying.

Eddie, lucky you.   :D.  I've made a deal for a place to hunt, just getting time to do a little scouting is hard, seeing that it's about 45 miles away.  Based on what I've seen you guys do, I feel the silver (and bronze) slippin' away.   8)
