Keep getting an urge to try a little knapping everytime I see some of the work you guys do.
Show me a pic or two of your tools you made or use to get those little gems out of those rocks.
I know their hiding in there somewhere and I know it takes alot of practice but if I don't start I'll never learn.
I have had this chunk of mahogany obsidian for a few years and it makes a nice paper weight but I know there is a blade or a head hiding in there. It's a 1/4" thick

Just very basic tools... Lots of pics out there if you look up the knapping supply vendors.

Woody, I also was wondering what your knapping tools looked like. Do you have a differant shape on your copper for differant rock or glass. Some say real sharp pointed copper for glass and obsidian. What are your thoughts.
I posted this on paleo planet W/o response.
Thanks
Jon

For percussion, the copper is always the same no matter what the material is. For pressure flaking, the tip of the copper changes depending on what I'm doing. For example, fine edge retouch calls for a very sharp point. Heavy pressure flaking requires a rounded tip. Hope this helps a little...
