Your mic has worked out v well. Thanks for the show, I feel I have been exposed to an ancient world. To think that 30 minutes by the fire could make such an object. Subscribed to NFK
What is the reason for heat treating? How did you get into flintknapping? Are you also interested in archeology? Best place to start learning for a complete beginner?
The reason for heat treat improves the workability of the stone. It changes the microcrystaline structure. It can also change colors. I got into flint knapping because my family had collected artifacts for many years, and it always interested me. I also had an uncle who gave me everything to get started. I love archeology. I think the human story is the best story ever told. The best place for a beginner to start is right here on RU-vid asking questions and learning. I would also recommend going to any local knap ins (gathering of knappers) and sitting down with some experienced people, and learning what you can. They will be more than happy to help. I'm glad you found the Channel and I hope that whatever knowledge you can gain from it will help you on your knapping journey.
@@North_Florida_Knapping Cheers totally agree about archeology! Watching videos has really helped to understand what I am reading in history books and seeing the amount of time it takes to make one single piece was very eye opening. Also seeing the leftover material on the floor puts some perspective as well haha.
Yes, this is close to what I did in this heat, but I tried an insulated lid, and I think I pushed it too hot, honestly. Although some stuff turned out good. I hope to revisit this in a future video. Thank you for your feedback.
