I really liked the video you did awhile back that proved they used copper tools. It's well known that they mined copper in Michigan. Otzi the Iceman even had a copper celt in his pouch. I don't understand the "antler guys" getting so bent over people using copper tools, but it is funny.
Pat I will tell you this you cannot combine three knappers or snappers together you know take your indirect combine with the banana eater freeze cracked's indirect it don't work his is different than yours he does not do opportunistic indirect you will fail lol or gregs

Currently this is all I have to work with. It is exactly as you describe. Layers of cooled lava. Does whatever it wants even if it looks perfect.I make alot of rubble and very small sharp flakes :) can make wicked blades though
Love the controlled flaking. Basalt is tough stuff (pun intended). Awesome stuff. Our subconscious often delivers to us better than our conscious can do on its own. Keep up the great work!
If you are ever so inclined to reach out, I'll share with you a collection of basalt tools found on our farm. You would enjoying seeing some of what they made in the times that came before. Thx for sharing your knowledge and having fun.
When I started snapping (but since stopped because of an injury) I invented a style of indirect by setting the tool in the crook of my hip and picked up your style after seeing your videos, it just goes to show it’s pretty intuitive and was probably done in the past.
Hello. That stone is from Colorado. I got it in Antonito Colorado, close to Taos
Sweet. Thanks for the rock. It's very interesting stuff.
Wow! basalt.
I guess that's why I have no anxiety. I find stuff I forgot I had pretty much every day. 🤣
Lucky

Yeah, it's a funny thing. The dates in history keep getting older for the use of copper, but it still doesn't sink in.
If you ever need fine grain basalt just dm me. Where I live it's everywhere. Brown,black,blue.

Controlled opportunism....
Clever
Informative as hell and all the great attitude!
Thanks 😊
TX stealth snapper here.
I can snap a piece, sometimes in a single hit!
Impressive!
Basalt it Dead Lava molecules
That's what I've heard.
Mr. crafty has mastered the “controlled reverse flake”.
Heheh...😁👍

Great work man! You are a great master
Thank you
Good talk. 95% of people probably deal with anxiety these days. Everyone is on meds it seems.
Sadly, yes

The town of Basalt, Colorado is a famous fly fishing destination. Basalt is common around there, but most is pretty gunky.
I see

Ah yes basalt my old friend a common stone in my area.
Cool👍
The old Hawaiians had to climb up 14000 feet to get the good basalt that cooled rapidly in the glacier. This must be similar material.
Could be

There ya go.👍
I have some hemp cord around here somewhere. It's driving me nuts not knowing where😂👍
Welcome
Basalt has what I like to call grain. This stuff is super tough with a mind of its own if the stone says no to a flake it means it.
Luckily this piece wasn't too bad.
yeah, "controlled" flaking lol I'm a pro at that!! you are really good and your banter is killing me...
I’ve mastered the “controlled snap” myself. I can snap a piece at literally any stage of the process.
…like a boss
