"Learning Rock" (Hope ya like pics!)
« on: May 25, 2012, 06:01:11 pm »
So I have been pressure flaking and using indirect percussion that Patrick has been trying to help me on.  Today in the pit I thought I should move on because neither one of those were working well for me so I asked my husband to help me with some direct percussion.  Started out really well....learned a lot about the differences and taking off some mass.  Decided to try a rock mostly on my own with just some ideas given to me and not exactly what to do.  It went really well until I hit some impurities in the rock.  Learned a lot and looking forward to breaking more rock!!!!!  Some day I might actually make a point worth showing ;) and not all this screw ups that need all of your help :D

Looking good Chertle. Don't be afraid to hit the rock, it's just a rock until it's thinned and notched :)

Wow, that was a tough one to learn with or maybe a good one to learn. With that squared off side it had you did really well. Right before it broke as i see it you probably should have started stitching the edges to create platforms all around rather than continue spalling. Anyway, hard to see exactly what happend from here. Drive on - the tonnage thing ya know ;).
