@@GulfCoastKnapping keep making videos. There’s lots of guys using your tools that will benefit. You can actually read a rock which is in short supply because most folks only buy stuff and don’t quarry.
Probably the best, clearest and most concise knapping videos I’ve seen since paleomanjim! I sincerely hope you follow through and wade in with at least one of these per week, or better yet more! Absolutely top shelf knapping and your instruction, or technique description is the best out there. Do us a favor and let us count on at least a consistent regular weekly video. Please!
There are some good flintknapping books out there, but I’d say 95% of new knappers learn best from attending knap-ins and watching instructional videos to further their skills. If you’d like a specific video on the basics of flintknapping I could do that for you
Are you collecting this in the southeastern region of AL? I’m in the lake eufaula area and have heard people say there is chert about an hour south of where I am. Curious if this is the same stuff.
Yes! There’s some chert all over south east Alabama. Many farmers will discard chunks beside their fields, and there are outcrops of chert everywhere but takes some research to find
There’s a huge quarry about an hour south of you. More than you could imagine. And I know exactly where it’s at if you would like to contact me if you are still looking to collect some.
@@robertseals8422 yes I was talking to someone who collects arrowheads and they mentioned some chert being in either Henry or Houston county. I’ve also found some about 20 minutes from here but it is very low quality unless it’s heat treated.
It's as easy as driving to Albany. Drive to the Georgia power dam. There's a boat ramp there. Walk into the ankle deep water and pick it up. You'll see spalls everywhere where people break it down before they leave. GP doesn't care. I go there 2 or 3 times a year.
