i wouldn't want it flying in my direction

where did the glass come from?

what flaker are you using again?

[mullet]

Nice Jay
Looks like we are fighting the same war 

I'm grinding tons of glass this days.
Alot of things to try and learn...
this one is today test whit stone and a piece of bone as pressure flakers
Also starting to worry about the safety of this hobbie.
Not really worried by the millions of blood platelets  but that nasty glass powder looks pretty bad. wondering if some kind of mask would be necessary

What do you use as tools?

Fine looking points. I believe there is dust particulates from any glass or rock you work. If your not in a well ventilated area then you are breathing them...

I always (mostly) knapp outside. Im just using a hammer stone, two different sized copper boppers i made,  and a copper flaker given to me by one of the guys at my archery club. At tye shoots there is just us three drinkin beer and crushin gravel. Ive been having a bad time thinning the nitching side, think next time ill try working frome base to tip rather than tip to base. See what that does. I wanna go get kore basalt but apatently you dont go up to that area i know of without four spair tires xD

Nice point   If you can't knap where the wind blows the
dust/gas away from your face, try a fan. I always try to wear
glasses or goggles. Those particals gan be pretty bad for
your eyes and lungs.
