    I started with stone and bone. Two kiddie pools filled with destroyed chirt later, I had made my first arrowhead. It was lopsided fat and ugly. Seven years later and I can make very effective blades for arrows, spears, and knives. I do love using my stone hammer stones and antler tools but I have now added a copper pressure flaker to the other side of my main antler billet. Copper is truly more efficient but not quite as forgiving as antler for me

    You do make this look easy, but after going out and starting to practice I realized how quickly my skills were progressing.
    Once you actually start knapping, making it look easy suddenly becomes a lot more attainable.
    Thanks a lot for these videos!
    They are a superb resource.

    Quick tip: if you don't have time to go out to the boonies to find raw rock, or there isn't any natural areas in your locale to search, try your local landscaping supplier. If they supply bulk river rock and such, call them and see if rhey will let you pick thru their supply and buy a couple 5 gallon buckets of usable rock.

    Seeing you spall the obsidian at 9:55, it reminded me of a tiny flake of rhyolite if found in Rutherford County, N.C. last weekend. Having lived in all three geographical regions of the state in 62 years, I've found rhyolite points virtually from one end of the state to the other. Yet, the only known deposit of the stuff is in the Morrow Mountain area, which lies in the Eastern Piedmont. It boggles the mind to think that Native peoples traveled such great distances to obtain it. I'd love to know if it was "quarried" at Morrow Mountain, then perhaps moved to other parts of the state in quantities large enough to not make a week long trip on foot necessary to get what they needed to produce points.

    Hey, can you do a comparison table, of how much reliable a material is, for hunting with bow, I mean arrow heads made of:
    - Wood
    - Bone
    - Cobblestone
    - Flint
    - Obsidian
    - Antler
    - Iron/Steel
    Parameters might be:
    1. How many shots one can do with a material, before the point completely breaks, in ideal. Wood 1 times, Obsidian 2-3 times, antler 6-8 times, etc.
    2. How many times the arrow head can be resharpened, commonly. Wood 0, Obsidian 1-2 times, Cobblestone 3-4 times, etc.
    3. How much time to make one arrow point with a material, when already experienced. 15 min per 1 arrow head, etc.
    4. How rare/accessible material is, roughly. Rare, very rare, etc.
    I've seen you made some other comparison tables, and have a lot of experience with those, therefore can share a lot of useful/interesting info. I guess your subscribers will be interested as much as I am!

    Living in a country that’s been swamp and delta for most of it’s history and the parts that wheren’t where sea but are now green pastures finding knappable stone is a challenge, same with finding antler(we have deer but all the places they live are basically public parks where everyone and their mother goes, so even though I’ve been countless times: not even a rabbit bone remains. I don’t want to buy things online, goes against my principal and it’s difficult to see who is a nice seller and who is the type of person that goes to riverbeds with their pick-up truck to basically steal everything there is to sell for profit. I don’t want to support that. So pebbles, cobbles and random garden decoration stones it is. It is hard, and it feels more like magic than a skill to me but I’ve managed to make usable tools, smooth quartz is slowly becoming my new friend hahaha.

      Isn’t that crumbly? Pretty sure that u need something slick and not rough.

      I've never ran into limestone worth knappkng, however, some rocks that form within limestone like quartzite work well.

    I wish they would say the direction how they hit the rock straight down at a angle into the rock or straight into it

    Not knowing rock, how would one learn which cobble is worth keeping and which isn't? Is it just a matter of knocking a flake off and looking at it?
