Thanks for watching. Brad and Emory have taught me so much about flintknapping. I also got to meet Dan the caveman a few weeks ago at the knap-in. Oregon is the best place to learn primitive skills.
Spent a lot of time up there with Emory and Cecil and a lot of other old friends. Emory is the man. First time I met him I'll be he was only 15 or 16 and already a way better flintknapper than me lol.
@@notpulverman9660 the has was specially designed and felted by Jen Decamp the longer back of the hat was my request being bent over in a snow storm it keep the snow from running down ones neck and nice-n warm
My word, I didn't realize after watching the Otzi videos that we know a lot of the same folks. I hear big bad Brad's laughter. Heard about Emory, hope he recovers well.
Watching him knock off spalls like it was as easy as walking, one thing, but as soon as I saw the "Firebird arrowhead" he was holding up made my jaw drop open! HOW? And spear heads with hearts cut out in the middle of them??? That just blows my mind! Someone like Emory has forgotten more than we will ever know about Knapping! "We're not worthy, we're not worthy!"
Is there an exact reason why you choose to use a copper billet? Assuming it has something to do with hardness, malleability or density? I only ask as I have a copper headed hammer in my tools and wonder if it would be of any use? Is there any reason other than personal preference stone knappers don't use hammers?
A steel hammer is to hard and would simply crush the stone. The copper is softer and allows the energy to transfer into the stone better. I'm new to flint knapping but this is what I understand of the process. The same as using antler or wood for the fine work.
the rounded head and angle and depth determine the thickness of the flake coming off. the hole that was dug was to dampen or cushen the stone and control the impact of the blow
Very enjoyable to watch and I've never done any knapping. How do you spot the rocks when they don't look black? Will a hatchet, axe, or splitting maul work?
Oregon, California, New Mexico and maybe Arizona. Oregon is probably the most popular area call glass buttes. This area is government ground and you are allowed to collect material off it.
the 9lbs one was 45.00 the 28 lbs that started at 30lbs was in a trade for a monster 30 inch blade trade to keith durfey that casted it in winachee washington
funny how everyone hast to rip up the ground to find the bigest rock to make a tiny little arrow head or nife and back in the day natives would jest walk by and pick a peace off the top and make a masterpiece without digging a big hole.

Likewise.

February 2021. I just spalled out a huge peace of idaho dacite. I want a billit that big!
My god... If I had stone like that in my area I don't think I'd ever come back inside.
Glass Buttes,Oregon is like a river of Obsidian... Every kind you could imagine!! Love that place!
Hans Bauermeister just be happy with what you’ve got
Hans Bauermeister I’m going in a week I can send you some
I love ❤️ the sound the stone makes so,..satisfying

Orlando Florida here in 2022 , February 6 . This is so relaxing!
0:00 A legend was born in 2011 - onwards he formerly did flint videos and now he started doing mousetrap monday videos.
🙏🙏
And mouse trap Friday
It went from primitive otzi the ice man stuff to mousetrap Mondays.
So strange
Drives me nuts. When people are doing it, it makes sense and I can see the angles. When I do it, I seem to always get the angles wrong.
"You could at least make it look hard."
Scrillix dash *insert dead meme here*
1:12

I had flashbacks of Beldar Conehead!
Those are some super nice looking boulders and great video of spalling.
So awsome! I wish we had Obsidian here in Florida!

Thank you Shawn! I think stalker all your videos!👍👍
Emory the master of Obsidian - Thumbs up!
Me. 6/7/21 - lovely thing to watch! 😁
amazing work!
You're so lucky to live in a place with obsidian. It's so expensive to buy I hate using flint. It's a pain to hear treat
Must have been awesome to see that in person. Did you meet him and knap with him?
nope never met the guy ;p lol
Damn art work amazing flintknapping skills I'm no good at

Andrew Wilson copper also lets the rock bite into the hammer... rather than the other way around

Ok Shawn I've literally watched every one of your videos
Dang, wish I had some of that around here
Wow yeah?? He could at least make it look hard, but he's just... dang he's good.
These guys seems masters

Believe me,when you see Obsidian in the rough,you will know what it is-it only takes one time to get to really know it...

Do you sell flint and obsidian?
nice video, loved it
Pretty cool
10 years who this
where do you find obsidian at
places where there used to be lava streams, obsidian is volcanic glass
Oregon and northern Cali,have tons of it!
Oregon, California, New Mexico and maybe Arizona. Oregon is probably the most popular area call glass buttes. This area is government ground and you are allowed to collect material off it.
I WANT ONLY ONE ROCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is stinking awesome!
Stinking? Isaiah 5: 20, Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.
Is that the only place you can find obsisian?
edmonton canada through mexico, chili, great barrier reef in australia, mount etna in Italy and here some in russia too
This guy's good
@cashdubbed I'm betting that billet cost more like$400 I can't find a 2"x12" copper rod for less than $80
you are better off getting scrap melting it down to cast and make your own
it was cast for me by keith durfey winachee washingtom ... drill into a block of wood and pour pour pour
Aren't you supposed to do that with a diamond pickaxe?
Man this is cool
His oldest vid
What do you do with the mice you catch do you eat them?
The man's not a flintknapper, he's a full-on lithic artist.
2018...?
turning a decade old 10
Here in 2020
holy crap thats amazing! I wish I knew where to find some in nevada :)
Do you know what Holy means? Do you know what crap means? Do you think there is not a recompense for such talk?
Today for mousetrap mondays...
Cool
Here after 1 Million subs. This is how rodents killing legend was born.
Lol cool man
Are you sure thats obsidian? Looks a little like dacite

All the time I'm watching this vid there's an advertisement for Gorilla Glue just under the vid
Epic
2018 anyone

Damn bet that billet was like 80 bucks.... Lmao.
the 9lbs one was 45.00 the 28 lbs that started at 30lbs was in a trade for a monster 30 inch blade trade to keith durfey that casted it in winachee washington

funny how everyone hast to rip up the ground to find the bigest rock to make a tiny little arrow head or nife and back in the day natives would jest walk by and pick a peace off the top and make a masterpiece without digging a big hole.
mohawksniper79 Actually the native Americans dug much of their chert and flint from quarries.
