pressure-flaking slabs tips for beginners

this isn't really a video for people trying to figure out how to do perfect parallel flaking, etc. it's more of a video about how to easily get a thick slab pressure-flaked into a point preform with a bit of convexity and no problems on it. i tried to talk about the things beginners having problems complain about most in online forums. anyway...a picture of the finished point was added at the end.
