I have seen you run over shots while pressure flaking. So it’s not all bad lol. Beautiful stone made more beautiful by an excellent knapping job. Finally, 😂I like the title, Flint Yapping. You are definitely a talker. Robot knapper lol.
The ~5k year old crystal daggers of the Montelirio tholos tombs, in Spain, appear to be flake over grind to me as well. They are only edge sharpened and I've never seen a crystal with only two edges or facets.
agreed. lots of neolithic arrowheads , daggers and knives were flake over grind . in ireland there are large kite shaped lance heads that have clearly been ground on the face then flaked . very interesting stuff
@@captainflint89 Hey! There you are! I was thinking just the other day that it's been a while since I ran into you! Yeah, the neolithic in general is somewhat notorious for FOG knapping, isn't it.
@JackCrafty I don’t understand how you get away with hitting above centerline and remove a beautiful flake that travels over and across a ridge . I know flakes favor traveling parallel with a ridge but across it blows my mind. Every time Ive tried that I’ve snapped the biface on flint let alone obsidian or get a ugly crushed edge with a bad step fracture lol. You have to use some kind of magic lol Jk your skills are amazing!! Have you heard of copper paddle billets? Have you ever used them? I seen them on flintknapping supplies and i can not find anyone using them and I can’t imagine what they are for. Excuse my ignorance just curious if you have an answer and if they are a helpful tool to add to the tool kit. Thanks I always appreciate your input!!!
In Spain we have a rock crystal dagger carved, polished and carved the edge again leaving the center polished, it was discovered in the megalithic tomb of Montelirio Tholos, 5000 years old.
idk if you ever have, but when u get time check out the Ohio museum of natural history’s obsidian blades they packed & I assume traded large bifaces all the way from yellow stone back to Ohio & the large blades were made there in Ohio because they found the debitage on the same site area where they found the blades but anyway I think you would find it interesting & also the Rutz Clovis that was found near Wenatchee Clovis… the reason I mentioned is those are the only large authentic blades I know of but you were most certainly right most of the stuff they made we’re definitely smaller but I know how u feel about the big blades & just thought you would like to check those big ones out….cuz I’m like you how much stone did they go through to get those??? I have a lot of authentic points from the Great Basin & they are small to somewhat tiny.. “Another crafty hope 2B “
on the fog topic , some arrowheads from yorkshire england and kite shape lance heads from ireland 100 percent have evidence of fog , as do most types of danish dagger . i think they used both grind over flake and flake over grind with the former being a method to remove defects, stacks and steps and the latter for cosmetic flaking styles . this still does not make the process exciting for me however , no idea where my bias comes from lol
@@KnapperJackCrafty Yupper, that first illustration looks kind of......uh, goofy. A later illustration of the one with the snake handle looked almost like it was fully knapped. Think I'll pass and muddle my way through full knappin'.
You and Huntprimitive make this look so easy. I tried my hand at it for the first time today , just focusing on driving good flakes off but I bled more than anything 😆. Definetly gonna have to invest in stone
Yep, you 'll qaste plenty of stone. Whrn you're getting the hang of it, work on getting the stone what you want it to do rather than focusing on making something at first. Thats what I'm doin right now anyway!
I would like the lord of the rings movies even more if it was just a single 9+ hour movie. I don’t really watch many movies, if I watch tv I’d rather it be a show with many seasons. Im a reader and I love long stories.
I was a draftsman for many years but my last 4 years I was occupying an unlicensed engineer position, yes. I went to engineering school at UT Austin (TX) but quit in my senior year.

Nothing like watching and listening to some good flint yapping!
Those are pretty.👍
Have amazing Evening ☺️
Got to admit this was a great fun video to watch twice. Thanks Pat
Happy new year to you and your family. Thank you for the great videos.
Super nice and super thin ,As usual real nice 👍
Thanks! 😃
I love yapping its pretty cool and fun
Good to know. Thank you.👍
Love it! The only material that I have to Knapp is obsidian. In the beginning, I would get cut often. So sharp!
Oh yes

Wish I could get my hands on obsidian here. I work a lot of glass and chert
Are there any studies of lung disease from chert dust versus volcanic glass dust?
Yes. Chert dust is much more hazardous than volcanic glass dust.

A paddle billet is simply a billet that strikes with a narrow surface. This concentrates force into a small area. It's useful for tough stone.

Yes.
I've got a nice point made of black butter knapped by Mark & Nelson from Seneca Relics YT channel. Nice stuff.

Hey Garfield ya couple of days I'd want some lasagna too lol
I have a big blade made from that kind of material. It's a uniface . State archeologist dated it to around 1,000BC it's much darker but just as grainy
Interesting
Just use Kevin as your assistant 😂😂😂😂

welcome to Texas!!!!
Is that an aluminum bopper, if so where can i get it? Thank you maestro🙏🏽
Yes it is. www.ebay.com/itm/350796121959
Yeah buddy!
Never seen the ancient flake over grind. Sure would like to,

Putting a request in for raw cobden chert from Southern Illinois, style of point is up to you

Grind over flack...is that beveled???
Your a artist also
I have not saw the epgiptian flake over grind. 😀

Wow I need to learn how to spell 😂
You need to give Brad some lessons on finishing a point he does great until he gets to the final points in finishing. He is great with the bopper.
Hmm
I have buddies I see knapping barefoot or in flip flops
Yeah. Not a smart idea.
Just throwing out an idea. Why not photograph all the points and nice bi-faces and either make posters to sell or individual photos to sell?
Yes. I'll do that eventually 🙂

Jack, you are an engineer of some kind right?
I was a draftsman for many years but my last 4 years I was occupying an unlicensed engineer position, yes. I went to engineering school at UT Austin (TX) but quit in my senior year.
Does aluminum works just like copper? 🙏🏽 thank you maestro!, what size is this rod you are using now, thickness)?🙏🏽
Aluminum is much softer than copper. I use 6061 aluminum. The dimensions of this billet are 1-1/2" diameter x 4" long.
Patrick what happened tov1387? Did I miss something
Yeah. I uploaded that video then realized I had revealed my friend's address accidentally so I unlisted it.
come on dacite is an ash filled and churned obsidian it is slightly better than A pond cobble
all you american states that used to be spanish colonies not so long ago have the same hollywood accent. interesting
Some of my accents are not real. So that makes sense.😁
👍👍
The gloves whant to go leave tham alone
Too bad. 😁
Is it just me, or is there no sound?
I've got sound. Sometimes you need to close out TH-cam and re-open.
How could you possibly watch flint knapping and need to hear sound? Its knap knap knapping on heavens door.
@KnapperJackCrafty started it up this morning and wouldn't you know there was sound.
Since you’re ready to give up your secrets, show us your camera rig 🥸
