@ArtisanTony Thanks and glad you have endured my knapping! LOL I believe I retaped over this tape. I use Adobe Premier and it will do everything, problem is when you remeber the change in contrast it takes FOREVER to render 10 minutes of video let alone 2 hours of it! LOL Ill work another piece one day in the light for yall! STEVE
@BOHUNTER hey im new to knapping i can do the scissor pattern just find but what im wondering is do u use the platforms off of that or do you straighten the edge up some before u start thinning it out and also is these blue glass tiles easier to knap than tv glass
i've used this type of glass b4. a glass artist gave it to me. that particular glass is really hard. hard to pressure flake. it's the recipe. it's been hardened/tempered. it's like 25$ a slab by the way. it comes in a lot of colors but it is dang hard to work.
@mwalkingwolfm actually you can purchase this glass tiles for 10 bucks or less from jason @kentuckyknappers . com, make sure you tell him BOHUNTER sent ya! I like the glass too! LOL I dealt with Ronnie Hazlett and he has since taken this site over. Its fairly soft you must abraide a nice platform though.
What did you make out of that piece? Or was this just to show all us out here how to do it on flint chert etc...? All your videos are cool I must say, Thanks for posting them. Joseph T. (fly2000jtb)
It made a beautiful Green Ross which was featured inthe 2009 Flintknappers Calendar.
The video was full, but somehow I had the feature on INDOOR and this is why the video is blue. was disappointing cause it is such a nice tutorial and finished Ross Blade! Thanks Steve
The edge is thin and fragile. So when you touch it, the edge "Crushes" and you dont get any energy transfer and the platform is lost. So we abraide to strengthen the edge to trasnfer the billet energy! ITS A MUST!
They are called glass billets, I know a company named Bullseye Glass makes and sells them. Google bullseye-glass... they have a dealer listing on their site. Most dealers can also fuse several layers of sheet glass together for you to make a custom billet.
Where is a source to buy this type of glass except smaller pieces? Thanks for the lesson!

What is the point and what will be the use of this when you are done. I don't think those who know nothing about this know what a Green Ross is.

You should be able to put this video in a video editor and adjust the color. Try AVS Video Editor which has a free trial download.

what does knocking the leftover debris, or abrading the just-worked edge do? done at 3:40-4:00?
