Hitting marshma)lows , hitting a loaf of bread and someone sitting their butt in mud . I fully appreciate these references. Really makes an entertaining as well as educational video. Thank you! Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot bro. A lot of useful information, been waiting for a video like this , great. How long and at what heat? That stuff is working super fantastic.
Strange cortex. Generally, it’s chalky and will never detach as a flake. My own experience is to get rid of that edge cortex as early as possible because I have never seen anything like the raw rock you started with. I would have used Indirect right off the bat so there was access to the good stuff.
I have only been at this for a month but i seem to get the best thinning flakes when i pull back a little on the strike. Seems like skinning that copper back away from the edge while striking grabs better and helps peel the flake.
I haven't seen all your videos but in my opinion this one is the best. Ive been wanting to learn free hand percussion and this helped me alot. The last two points i posted were started with your technics. Than you
What part of Kentucky?
Good information saved it I’ll watch again
Great video Brad. Now I can thin the hornstone I got from you.😂
I find a lot of flint here in East Tennessee when rock hunting
Always nice to revisit taking clunky spalls and making a nice preform😎🤙excellent video

I agree. Sometimes it’s easier to get rid of it early on.

I agree!👍👍
Thanks for the video, i have a lot of obsidian i "try" but getting better.
You’re welcome, just keep at it👍
Can't wait to see the finished point. Love hornstone
Really enjoy your videos and the explanations you give. I’ve been knapping for 6 years and am constantly learning. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome, thanks for watching
Very informative, thank you. I have a couple half nodules of hornstone just like that. Now I feel I can tackle them.
Awesome! Thanks! Glad to help.
Really informative. The bevel flip beveling hopefully will help me thinning. Great video Brad!
Thank you
