I think "isolated platforms" has been one of the more difficult things to both understand, and to find good guidance on. NOW... I get it. Once again, thank you for taking the time.
This is the best lesson I've seen so far on platforms and HOW to properly isolste. I can't tell you how much these 3 videos have helped. I'll be rewatching several times.
I agree with the other comments in that this is a great video on platfoms, the best that I have seen. I'm new to knapping and used to cringe when I heard the word "platform". Thanks to your video I feel confident enough to tackle them. Thanks so much for posting this video!
@animeonperseest The biface is a transition to making an actualy flint knife or projectile point. The finished point would then be lashed to a handle or spear or used as is....jim
+paleomanjim I hope you are still making videos. I really enjoy your videos and have watch ever single one of them. keep them coming if you still make them.
That was the best explanation and demonstration of isolated platform preparation I have ever seen.
Thank you,
Jeff
Yes, definitely the absolute best! Platform's obviously are critical to effective knapping, and this guy makes it much easier to understand.

Glad you liked them. Flintknapping is all about platforms, understanding them is the key to success. Happy knapping!
Natural teacher....thanks for clearing up so many areas of misinformation for me. I feel like trying it again now.

This series of videos gave me a whole slew of AHA moments! I get it now, thank you!
Glad I could help!
Ha man that was the best platform demonstration I have seen.How about showing how to run thinning flakes.
Fine work. Very good demonstration. You made it clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much for posting.

Wow. That indirect striking makes way more sense then just grabbing a rock and smacking another lol. Very informative
Amazing how you can stay so calm and keep a level head smashing them there rocks 🤔🧐
Years of practice, almost automatic, thanks
So do you tie that to the end of a wooden stick and go hunting for deer? I'm not sure I understand what exactly is that thing.
Are you slow?
It’s clearly a hand axe. They jumped out of trees onto the backs of mammoths and dinosaurs, and killed them with one good hit to the brain pan.
very informative
