have you ever looked through your spalls and found that perty one you want to work on and when your done its an ok point that your not satisfied with then find a piece of crap and start working on it and it comes out a nice little point! I did that today and just thought id put it out there.

Oooh yea. Probably because the ones that look good are wide flat spalls and sometimes I snap em while percussing the bulb off, and the clunksters have plenty of mass on em to let me wallop em. There's great satisfaction in pulling a nice looking point from a small ugly rock tho.

Picked up two pieces of junk today and took the 30 min challenge and made two points I was pleased with giving away
