Here are the points I knapped today, and in the centre is a paleo blade I found whilst digging agate last week. All the points are obsidian from Glass Buttes, except for the Burns Green obsidian.

Obsidian, and glass is so homogenous that knapping it can be broken down to basic engineering principals (almost) as to opposed to an art perspective. Most of my points are done by pressure flaking following a few simple rules. If followed, you end up with a point, if not you end up with a smaller point. I just wish that I had learned this when my eyesight was much younger.
