Hello Jake Where did you get bopper and have you got a contact details for them really need that one you use a lot

All without a single drop of blood... In my limited experience the whole mess would have been smeared in blood... Excellent work! You were born 10,000 year too late!

pm me i am interested in purchasing this point, thx!

Curtis is well known and well respected among flint knappers. I don’t hesitate to get rock from him.

Crazy to see how much we have advanced as a civilation

Wow dude amazing point! Thank you for this series of videos.

Have you ever gone to the NMLRA events in Friendship Indiana ?

Hey man, I have wondered for years about how to flute a Clovis point. I’ve imagined it several times but this is the first time I’ve actually seen it done. Thanks for clarifying that!

that was awesome im just getting into it hope i can do some work like you ,

You are one talented napper and a pleasure to watch and listen to. Tyvm for sharing

As a new knapper this video is aweosme because it shows the xactly a rough version of how to get there

It turned out great! Thank you for doing it over a couple of days instead of weeks. Give Marshall a scritch. 👍🏻

That one white spot on the edge near the tip had me freaking out. So easy to break a tip! I need a kit like yours. Your boppers are nifty and I love your pressure flaker. Arthritis is a big problem. But I dig what you’re doing!

Have you ever knapped a danish dagger I’d love to see you knapp a type 1/2/3/4/5. Just saying

You are the goat when it comes to this craft its amazing how your work has become legendary and you have created your own style the Indians will spend centuries studying and trying to duplicate your work ❤

Man that big bopper shoots some nice flakes!

Watching you work is fascinating! A skill I'd like to learn.

I have seen some point hunters in south Texas finding what they call "root beer" colored points. They are opaque and look root beer colored when held in the light. What kind of stone are these made from if you know?

Excellent video....Thanks for sharing Jake

That Stone is OFF THA' CHAIN!!!

I do love your work but, I was hoping you might let us in on a bit more info on Mr. White and how to get his boppers. Just useing the largest I have, I am convinced bigger is often better. Thanks!

My favorite flint material.

Some good material

Thanks for sharing your skills!

I am really enjoying this! Arthritis in my hands kinda ended my knapping days, just like it did blacksmithing. But I really enjoy watching you do it! I analyze what I see and try to guess your next move.

Thanks for the video.

I use my wife's site, my name is Norm. It is always nice to see a perfectionist knapper, like my good friend and fellow knapper Tim Mullen. Excellent job!!

Nice piece

Hey partner. Enjoying your content. I've been interested in flint-knapping for decades but am just now in a position to pursue it. I recently retired and moved to Tucson. Any suggestions on beginner tools? I found from experience it's generally best to to ask an expert before buying tools in any new venture. Also any sources for material near me. Thanks in advance!

Sweet looking Noonan Jake! The second one looks like it's taking shape well too. Thanks for walking us through shaping the second one.

what price do you sell a box of flakes?

Roll TIde !!

I want a set of those hoppers so bad. I should get a hold of him.

Lets gooooo!! Good to see you back and making more videos Jake!

I really like the flakes that your big bopper makes. Long and thin. I’m gonna have to make one!

I am more than just a little jealous of your stone selection! Great video! I’m a graying old man who has been fascinated with breaking and grinding and pecking stone for over 30 years. I don’t know much!

What was the temp for cooking and how long. I'm surrounded by coastal chert and coral here in north Florida.

As one of the women who truly enjoys your videos, I would like to see more of the coral. It’s beautiful

Well done ! Enjoy your knapping.

Pat yourself on the back that is an amazing, beautiful point. You are an amazing Flint napper. You should be proud of yourself.

Hello Jake! Your point you showed here and the points you're working on all look great. Your case of coral points sounds neat. You'll have to do a reveal of it when you get it where you want it.

Isn't most coral endangered due to pollution & rising temperatures in the earths waters.

I bet it's a Clovis

Thanks for the video.

You said it’s coral is that from the sea ?

Nice.

Thanks for the video.

You are a very talented artist

So your broad flakes not only are your thinning flakes but also to create more even flatness on both sides so the smaller edge thinning flakes create the convexity, using the two flakes to get that uniformity… gunna try this tomorrow , im always blown away how that edge profile always looks so clean and thin even when the points aren’t super super thin. Thanks for the awesome tips and insight

looks to have been in a fire, thermal pot lid flakes are clear on the dark side . im not saying its "heat treated" just potentially had atleast one face exposed to a rapid extreme heat /cool cycle like a brush fire , cool rock though and well done forcing a point from it
