Nice to here your recreance to the Native points you have seen or found...I'm from out west, where I found a few points as a kid and your demonstration has inspired me to give it a try myself....thanks.
Perfect size for an atlatl dart ,I started doing the narrow entry notches and I really like them , I don't do corner notches just because we aren't allowed to hunt with then here in Missouri with a barb , so I just use side notches and a tail notch or cupped base , great video thank you
@MrPaluegoestarde You are welcome, glad you like the videos. Texas is flint heaven, so I'm guessing that part of Mexico probably is rich in flint resources also. Flintknapping is a great hobby, have fun amigo....jim
I believe you have answered this in someone else' s comment. Thanks. The answer: possibly deer ulna, turkey bone or an unknown tool. I wonder if anyone was able to witness this older method and document it. I haven't read or heard about it but such literature would be a treasure.
How would this type of notching be done without steel or metal tools? In would like to know what method is used with more primitive tools made before colonial times.
Hey, I was about your age when I started and found some people that lived near me and got in touch. Also look for knap in's that are in your area. You will find many materials there.
sorry, I dont think he is making them anymore. There are several people on Paleoplanet who have posted instructions and pictures on how to make nice horseshoe nail handles....jim
hey i am new to this and i was wondering if i can find any knappable stone in Michigan im only 12 so i cant go through any drastic measures to get it i am willing to buy some if there is none in Michigan.
I'm not sure if anyone sells these anymore. You can make one with a horseshoe nail, takes a bit of time to make the tool but worth it and the nail is easily replaced
+Ryan Hunter it`s a bit thick what this video does not show you is just how damn thin his point is anything thicker then lets say bottle glass is going to be extremely hard to do this to.
paleomanjim Ever seen the top fin of a catfish? Ones from a smallish (one lb. or so) fish has a needle thin point, bu is tough enough to drive into hardwood! I was unlucky enough to get one buried to the hilt in my butt by unwittingly sitting down in it in the grass where someone had topped it point up. Had to have it surgically removed due to the numerous barbs in the shaft!
Absolutely love this demonstration. One of my biggest struggles and you shed so much light. Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
I think I held my breath for this entire video ! Breathtaking !
Jim Wynn = master. Lessons of gold!!!! Thanks for everything!!!!
Thanks!

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them.
Thanks for the kind words.
Ishi learned to knapp from his elders and his notching relfects his culture, very similar to the Wintu culture which have similar notches.....

Nice work,iv'e always wanted to do that.I from a young age always loved indian art affacts.
Thank you so much 😀
Awesome! The best!
New Mexico desert side notch come to a needle point .I just found 4 artifact side notch desert points last trip out in the desert
Awesome, the old boys had mad skills!
Yes, probably 1/8" or so. Thinness is very important for narrow entry to the notches.

only from your videos was i able to do anything close to this many thanks

New Mexico desert arrow points are narrow notch expanded inside also
Some of the South West points are simply incredible!
@@paleomanjim hunted artifacts here for 40 years. Made some awesome finds in my lifetime
Sweet! that's so kewl💯 thx for sharing
yea i would like to find out about jerrys horse notching tool were to get one thank you

Its small enough to be used as an arrowhead and this type probably were
Haha, I wish there was flint in my part of Texas... North central Texas has got nothing... :(

Try doing thus exact thing under 10 xs magnification .
I'll take 16th all day, very cool to watch, how do I contact the guy that makes notching tool?

I can hope to be half as good as you are Sir. You can at what stage I am by looking at my pic to the left.

thats anyones guess, perhaps a deer ulna, turkey wing bone, or something unknown. Whatever it was it it had to be hard and tough....
