Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to everyone here. I just found your site and am real excited to see if anyone else in my neck of the woods is here as well. Looking to learn to knap to add to my arrow and selfbow making and learn from those of you who are aleady there. Can't wait to hear from you guys.

Welcome redbear.
Redbear, mind if I ask how you came to choose that name? Welcome aboard and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. We already have existing threads on the subjects you mentioned and plenty more.
Redbear - I just read your bio. It says you want to learn to knapp real bad. A whole lot of us can knapp real bad. You probably want to learn to do a good job.:D It goes downhill from here.......

Thanks for the welcome into the circle. Trax I chose the name Redbear cause I'm of Cherokee descent and the bear is my spirit guide and red is his color. We both are at home in the woods and don't need much to survive. I am glad to make your acquaintance and look forward to learning some new skills. Rick even bad knapping is a start!

see; i like playing with beer bottle obsidian and toilet chert so i don't waste real stone.
worst biface ever:
How do you heat the glass?
canid
03-03-2008, 01:12 PM
no heat treatment.
Okay, beer bottle obsidian sort of implied to me you melted the glass.
canid
03-03-2008, 02:36 PM
no, just put it that way because glass flakes much like obsidian.
on that note, since bottles are blown [and the crystal matrix is stretched and bent when formed], i assume they will have different pressures and a grain influencing thier cleavage when worked. i wonder if heat treatment would make them even more predictable, since glass is already one of the easiest materials to knapp.
Okay. Got you. I was thinking the whole lava, melted rock thing, on the obsidian. That's why I thought you melted the glass. I'm with you now.

glass has already been melted, by somebody with more freetime on their hands than i...
wait, i guess that's not true about the free time bit.

Are the rotating avatars a conspiracy just to confuse me? I'm actually getting dizzy.
Ridge - Toilet chert comes from the outside of the toilet not the inside.:rolleyes:

Well, all I know is that it was brown... and I was thinking old toilets... brown.... ewwww!! and it was spelled like a misspelled acronym or something.. But then, I wouldn't know.. where I come from toilets are white.. sometimes blue...
