this right here is why i started knaping. I want to make a Etley so bad. love the video bro. been with you sense the start. i like watching these older vids sometimes, even if iv seen them over and over.
youre quick with that punch...I like using the small horizontal punch on my perds or open nitched pounts..may have to try the liitle antler peg punches on them tho
I need to start doing more horizontal stemming on the thinner points and my Perds too These etley are pretty thick so the vert punch helps avoid end snap on the big ones.
Hey this video is top notch in quality and execution. Especially compared to your old videos. You mention notching better material with a hammerstone? That is something I probably don't want to see. Sounds very scarey :D
I think it's likely lots of these late archaic lances were notched w stone punches. it's not so bad when you go into the preform hap hazard, then orient the rest of the point around the result. It's the best kept secret in knapping since 1992
