love your stuff, one of the guys i watched early on to learn to knap

that citronelle is some amazing stuff. I wish it came in bigger pieces. Hands down my favorite rock to work. It gets such good color and becomes so slick with heat.

Scraps would work well in my flintlock.

Very educational. Thank you for taking the time to make a video to teach this

Yep I just found out it's in July. I'll be there. Thanks

Great job; it would be beautiful to see mama point and her little babies. Beautiful material, at the start of this video I had no inkling of the success and results that would come from this river cobble. ❤

Your work while splitting flint is a world championship. I haven't seen this type of work before. If you believe Scientists, this is how "primitive" people built our civilization. However, the various structures rather confirm an advanced civilization. It's hard to say precisely. Congratulations and warm regards 💖👋😀.

Great video. Your fingers look like you night have a BP issue.

I am interested in replicating small handaxes from chert river cobbles but I can not use modern hammers. Any suggested videos showing the reduction of chert cobbles using only stone and antler hammers?

Hello, I stumbled across your video and find it quite interesting. I am curious as to why you rub the edges down with that flat stone. What is the purpose of that?

We abrade the sharp edges to prevent crushing which spoils the chip formation. Thanks for watching!

Nexcare water proof tape. Very grippy grabby but not perfect protection. Does a good job for me.

Hi Edbo - What type of fishtail are you referring to?

@EDBO23

Bayogoula fish tail is a small true arrow head found in southern Mississippi and Louisiana. Look in the Overstreet arrow head book. Or online search

That's pretty not too bad.

For just a moment there, I almost thought you were human, when I saw a few edges get crushed. Then you spent the rest of the video showing what sets you apart from the rest of us boys and wannabes!

It would be much more benefiting if u would just not explain what ur trying to do and instead just do it in silence thats a much better way to learn from
