Very nice point, well made!
Glass can be somewhat predictable on how it flakes, If you want a challenge try quartz, it is brittle but make it right and it turns out strong, but it is very unpredictable.
I have probably been knapping for almost a month or two now, and I have only made one good arrowhead, though I have not tried using modern tools.
Thanks for the video!

would these arrow heads shatter if i made some to use for target practice?

@Tacome1942 Would you be willing to make a video showing the technique? I think it would add greatly to the modern paleo skill set if you are willing.
Nice points...how did you make them using the pliers?
I'm a knapper and would really appreciate the input on how you actually flaked the glass.
Thanks...

@Talondas i used the gap on the tip to hook the corners of the glass and the rest is like pressure flaking.
