189 - Flintknapping A Texas Marcos Arrowhead Raw Chert And Copper 

Good afternoon Patrick, just reviewing older videos you provided. I remember this was when I had first started knapping and it was the first time I had seen indirect percussion, a eureka moment for me. Thanks again for all the instruction and information you provide the knapping community!!!

Incredible... my first time seeing this type rock work done. Thanks for sharing.

To me, this is your best video I've seen - just excellent knapping and no talking. Your current videos are 50/50 and often boring.

I thought it was incredible how you worked that real hard ridge out. great craftsmanship I'd be proud to find a point that nice.

Well done. Love your channel.

I often tell people that my indirect percussion method is like using a chainsaw to carve wood. There is a LOT of force being applied to the stone. I recommend starting with medium size points in the beginning: not too big and not too small. You will break a lot of arrowheads in the beginning. That's OK. It's a lot like learning how to walk on a tightrope. You fall off many times in the beginning and you are always at risk of falling no matter how much experience you have.

Thanks....You are a master flintknapper and teacher....keep them coming.

Still can't believe how you can take a total pyramid and turn the thing into a NICE point and not even lose any length.I've watched this and gone out back to bang rocks 4 or 5 times in sequence today. I honestly think I'm learning something every time.Can't wait for the sun to come up so I can go out back and need some more bandaids for my fingers TOO !!! :) :)

noce stall removal...the way you place your knapping tool at the crux in your knee looks highly beneficial....

Now, those are some awesome flintknapping skills. No doubt Allergic Hobbit uses incantations from his secretive wizard spell book on ultra-awesome how-to witchcraft book on flintknapping - most assuredly!

Good job that was a tough piece

you did a good job. thanks for teaching.

THE real challenge is raw flint, but the points will last, and take a lot of use.

Amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!!

I'm m sitting outside McDonalds and there are a ton of those lavender colored hammer stones in their landscape beds.

Nice, I really enjoy your videos.

Awesome Iv learned so much from watching your videos thanks for sharing

Pretty awesome work.

Thanks!

Why did you hammer the tip of the indirect tool when you first brought it out? - Clacker

Once again your videos intrigue me with your unique style. My hands shake some so making an accurate indirect strike can sometimes be a challenge. I think your technique just might be the answer....... I have studies several of your vids almost frame by frame. Is there any any words of wisdom or tips you could share to make my new method better. Thanks Dan

I made my first point today out of Flint from my Creek it's raw and very hard to work with going to try and heat treat it in my oven at home

Yes, hahaha...you're too funny. I re-uploaded this video because I messed up the first attempt.

Me too.

Like peeling a potato...

Hey what happened to the big step at first I saw that and thought oh crap how's he gonna get rid of that. I saw you trying to isolate a platform but then it was gone good job at getting rid of it I think.

Hahaha!

jack have u ever thought about remelting your bottles and waste bottle flakes to make new material to work? just thinking
