WHAT IS HIGH GRADE STONE?
Anything you can run a 1/2" or more flake with a pressure flaker.
HEAT TREATING:
Heat treat a few FLAKES of everything you got except HIGH GRADE Raw Stone, Obsidian, Dacite, Basalt, Hornstone, Sonora, Fort Payne, or Rhyolite. Start with flakes and spalls less than 1" thick for 200°F for 24 hours to dry it out. Then raise the temp to 275°F and hold for 4 hours. Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back I at 200°F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 4 hours.
Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back in at 200°F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 1/2 hour, the raise to 375 for 4 hours.
Repeat with temp going up 50°F until you reach 600°F or nice chippable stone. Whichever comes first. If no good result, or things blow up, let us know.

I enjoy the longer videos. I watch them in 30 mins increments. So you get more views per viewing. I'm a Thunking Thinkerer doing major thinkering.

[@kenwintin3014]

Well here you go again, darn it! I am learning something every time I watch one of your videos.

[@user-qy1ws6sk6z]

Thanks Patrick you inspire me every time! The heat treat instructions are very helpful also. I get so excited every time I manage take a good thinning flake I usually mess up for several minutes, I hope it'll get better. Thanks again!

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Good information jack nice job on knife

[@cher-aelarry1987]

a closer look at the color pattern shows me the hard to knap area

[@canastasiou68]

The blade is beautiful.

[@edminister]

I knap with nails a lot, removing metal marks can be done by rubbing with sand.

You may want to look into a noise canceling mic, it will get rid of noises like AC.

[@marycomeau9364]

They d'int have AC back in the day. So if you use AC it won't be like they used to do it. 😁

[@marycomeau9364]

In all seriousness please wait for the heat to break before you try the portable fire pit heat treat. It makes me glad that your camers is heat sensitive because ADHD will see the water bottle and think yep I have my water and forget to drink it. Especially with wet bulb over 100°.

Idea for not heating up the camera; put a styrofoam cooler on it's side, cut a hole in the lid and pop a sunglasses lense in the hole. Place camera inside with some ice packs. Keep it back far enough that styrofoam doesn't melt.

[@entrepreneursfinest]

How many hours do you usually put in knapping a week? Just out of curiosity.

[@prometheus4916]

The pressure flaker you use what type is it ?
