Title: My Office and a few points
Post by: YosemiteBen on September 08, 2011, 01:55:23 pm

Ok - These may get posted in a couple of messages. I will set up to get a pic of me at some point. This is the museum space I demonstrate in and a few pieces from the last two weeks in the  museum. Still not a fan of slab material getting rid of all of the cut or polished surface is my goal at some point in time.

I'm not a slab knapper (sounds dirty :o), but Ive been playing a lot with glass this week. One thing Ive noticed is shallow bites with the pressure flaker work beautifully. Maybe about the width of a pencil lead in a wooden pencil is where I apply the pressure. I'm having trouble making sure I dont overshoot them when it get's below 1" wide.
