Title: First Point
Post by: uacowboy on January 30, 2016, 07:43:02 pm

This is my first point that survived to this stage. it is floor tile. found JackCrafty's videos on youtube a few days ago and had some lying around so i figured i would try it.

Hey, break the toilet next, then break into some jack Daniels, each side and the bottom can be used, then break the television. Knapping can be done with so much stuff that's easier then tile! Good job with that material! What kind of tools do you have?

I also watch Jackcrafty. I would say that you picked the hardest stuff to work with.  I would switch to glass like ishi. It is the best starting place.

Pretty good for bone and stone 8)

I know you had to work for that one with that medium and those tools.

Keep up the good work.
