The bob ross of knapping!

I just bought a notched stone from an antique centre, then went back and bought some arrow heads. I'm told the stone is early neolithic, English, and the flint pieces are from northern Sahara. They're presents for my husband so I'm delighted to find your videos which show how these might have been made- such control and precision, thank you!!

Im new to flint knapping and i couldnt understand what the other guys were talking about. you explain it so well, thanks

So good. Saved this a while back and had to rewatch. Getting better, but I"m not quite applying the zig-zag concept correctly yet.

Thanks Greg. Really appreciate your explanations, especially how the flakes run from different points. Thanks for taking the time.

Great video. I really appreciate the detailed explanations. The "whys" are equally as significant as the "hows". Thanks from Indiana.

Your videos are fun to watch. I need to get some tools made so I can start knapping!

My old lady's got horrible rough skin when I knap she brings me beer and I user feet for an abrader we both love your videos thanks keep em coming

I want to learn how to do that myself. Great job Greg.

Thankyou for that very clear explanation and good closeup video work. Thanks Luke.

Nice video, you might consider using some indirect percussion with the pressure flaker when you piece gets thin. You will amaze yourself on how thin you can get a piece without breaking the piece.

Very informative and easy to follow

As usual, another great video for us amateurs. Thanks Greg!

Very good video,I’ve watched a bunch but yours was the most informative

This is a Great video !! It gives me so much hope and info . Thank u

Thank you Greg from the Adirondacks....,,hope your feeling better,,awesome video's.....It's always great to watch your well informed video's,,I would upload more but my service is to slow here..Harold

Thanks. Please show the in between work in the future. It helps to see what you are doing.

very very good video. helped me a LOT

Greatness. Thanks so much for the video. Man, I want to come spend three days and learn from you.

Great. As an archaeology student, this video gonna Damm helpful for our practical classes. 🎉

Can you work with novaculite? Nice video

I see where I messed up. instead of holding the piece flat when I was rough shaping I had it at an angle. Good to know, very informative.

I find knapping Dacite a challenge. With regards to Pressure Flaking, I find it necessary to impart a lot of pressure to detach a flake. This has motivated me towards using a very sharp copper flaker. Point construction tends to be toward making smaller points. Your own experience as shown in the video showing broken points being re-jigged to making a still smaller point is all too familiar. Dacite can be knapped without heat treatment but I wonder if you have ever heat treated Dacite to determine if some of it’s negative characteristics can be eliminated?

His Dacite looks very high quality. That's probably why mine is no good.

Man, this much work and then even more just to make sure you had dinner It's clear why people around the world switched to metal points once they figured out how to manufacture metals

Hope your doing better now Greg, I'm sick as hell now ...cold flu ??? Who knows but it sucks!! Anyhow another great video bud. Take it easy

what package do you get from neolithics

I love how people call them bird points. Tons of those tiny points have been found stuck in buffalo bones.

Materials were often hard to get. So points were probably worked and reworked untill lost or broken. At least thats my theory.

We’re can you find these rocks? I’ve bean wanting to make an actual spear for so long. Pls tell me!

How much would you charge for 12 of them I'd like to have them for hunting.
