This is so cool to watch. I wish you were talking and telling us where your focus is from one strike to another, though. Thinking about it as I'm watching, I can see myself focusing on the thick body too much and destroying the whole thing, but it looks like your main focus is refining the edge and letting the bodywork itself out for the most part. But still so cool great job I can see myself giving this a go just for the experience Thanks for the video
Nice stuff. I'm liking the way you strategize the problem spots. Something I can put in my memory bank. Not that it will work for me, but gotta find out as I go.
Is your indirect punch aluminum or steel? Same question for the flat tools that look like notching tools. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!

I like to thin the ends first. I do that in all my videos.

these points where what drew me into trying my hand on knapping in the first place. now i'm curious how the master goes about it.

what is the pumas-looking stone tool your using to break down the sharp stone on the edge?
Looks like a chunk of wheel from a table grinder. We used to buy them in different grits, then break them into 4 pieces...worked great.
Yes
Grinding wheel for bench grinder

Yes. All steel.
