1378 - No Talk - Spalling and Bifacing 

My current tools: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AeianYkdLec.html

When i was a kid down in central Texas, i found a few bifaces while hunting for arrowheads. At the time i remember thinking "This indian wasnt too good at making arrowheads, its too big and bulky, too heavy. Never gonna work on an arrow." Of course i didnt even know the word biface, or anything about flintknapping. I only recently discovered heating up the biface to make it knapp better. There's a lot to learn if you want to make arrowheads.

I saw you hit that hammer with a rock. 😝

I challenge you to Knap a Christmas tree/pine tree 🌲 shaped point for Christmas. 😎🏹🎅

Man I seen the break on the preform before you hit it. I would have done the same thing. Easy to see when its not you hitting the stone.

Jack, dont even think about these guys telling you you arent doing it right. From what I've seen, everyone does it different. Your way sure looks more refined and correct to me. Talking or not, you are the man.

I have a 2 by 5 inch aluminum billet if you would want it. Free. If you think it would be big enough. I bought it because of you but its too big for me. I herd you wanted a larger one.

You are one of the best I've ever watched on here. I enjoy when you talk and explain your method. Thanks for all the help you have showed. Im new to napping and its way harder than I thought it would be lol

dang, as if it were nothing!

This man Knapps so much I think he made the sand at the beach🤔🤔

19:19 Amazing flake

Patrick, im sure you know when you are supposed to be watching someone and they are being as quite as you have been for this long that mischief is afoot

Mighty hard and tough rock.

oh hey dude whatcha doin what your not talkin what did I do man! LOL🤣

Jack, how thick is your aluminum rod and what type is it?

I meant no disrespect by the way. I actually saw you hitting the zone!

Nope we need the ole crafty chat going. Witty sense of humor gets a nice lil chuckle here every time. If they want silence then turn the video off. Sounds simple to me.

It's crazy, call it sad or whatever but you still have a lot to learn. Don't we all Learning is only perfect practice

Does heating then cooling the chert help it to flake better ?

Ugly rock. I found bouncing a large hammer on a big lump of chert released a talent in my hand judgement to create a clean fracture across a large face without cracks or crushing. As you did 9.50 into 2 hr video.
