Best description I've heard for knapping Brazilian agate... it's harder than woodpecker lips. I'm trying to work a trade right now, one of my knapped knives for some Brazilian agate. I don't FoG knap, so this should be an interesting and fun challenge. 😂
Love your work. Great job teaching your craft. I’m very interested in learning flint napping. Do to illness my wrists have become quite weak. I wish you would do some programs teaching older people like me with disabilities how to easier flint Knapp. Keep up the great work. Sam C.
there are people who knap in different ways due to health issues one guy uses a piece of I beam on a table with 2 pieces of mudflap on it with a gap between the 2 pieces so your flakes can run out
@@Bradmoore1979 cat knapping. I just had my buddy Rodger put to sleep. He had too many problems with his teeth and had stopped eating. Enjoy his company while it lasts. Life is too short, theirs is shorter.
You need stiffer ishi sticks for agate ,and I prefer indirect percussion on agate, a better anvil block with leather covering would serve you well . I love working agates myself so I hope this helps
