Nick came over to spend a day or two with me and we decided to do some flint-knapping.
I had a piece of green glass about the size of a cantaloupe. I guess it was green glass, we're not sure. Anyhow, I wanted Nick to make a point out of it for me, since I don't trust myself with it yet..
Here is what he did.. After getting the flake off, it took him probably no more than 10 minutes to pressure flake, notch and finish the point.
Amazing!
The first picture is of the rock, with the point laying where the flake was taken from. The next two pictures are of Nick holding the finished product, and then a good clear picture of it back lit by the sun...
