What do I need in terms of tools? Also, what DVD would you guys most recommend. I see there are several available.

Thanks!
Stephen

I knapped a few heads from glass with just an abrader and a copper pressure flaker.

A copper or antler tip pressure flaker will do the trick. That's what I used on the one I made. I used 1/4" glass. It's very cheap from the dumpster behind the glass company. Pat

"Flintknapping - the art of the ancients" DVD by Woody Blackwell aka Knife River.

Can glass be thinned if too thick? i've got some 10mm dermatome glass on the way. That'll be about 0.4 inches in thickness.
