    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.

    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 💖👋😀.

    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?

    • @EDBO23
      @EDBO23  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      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.

      I'm sure I could shoot out of your scrap pile the rest of my life haha. 3/4x7/8 is what my rifles use. You could probably do a good business with just your scrap pile.
