thought I'd take a shortcut.
« on: April 03, 2012, 03:38:24 pm »
Well , its my fault. I found some time to do a little knappin & I was careless. I found this nodule of chert the other day so I thought I'd play with it. Its not the best or even close. I was thinning it out when it snapped on me. I knew I wasn't holding it right. Instead of making a shorter point I figured I'd glue it back & put it on the shelf with others like it. Don't take shortcuts, you might regret.

Hey Don, for us newbies, could you demonstrate how you were holding it when it broke and explain what happened?  I've broken a few in the last little bit and I'm clueless what I did wrong.  I've never had a blade as long as you're holding in my hand though.

Thanks, George
