Very nice!  You also don't seem to be bleeding too badly.  That's a plus!  You're doing better than me!

Nice glass work. I break them in half and end up with invisible pain makers in my hands every time I try glass :-[

I suggest keeping your fingers along the edge only when pressure flaking.  I use to tend to have mine on top pf the point and they either broke or were too clunky.  But clunky isn't as bad as you think for hunting points, at least in my opinion, they are stronger than thinner points and can be just as sharp.

You got great control of the eadge. nice and straight.  Think on the pressure point and it opposite force spots to help you understand why it will snap. It took me a long long thime to get this. Support will make or break your work. Just wait till the notchings you'll try! All that work then blow off a ear. Also many of us break way more then we finish. So keep at it.
