This must be for me. 4 months of trying and I have graduated from making “charcoal brackets” to turtlebacks.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Better turtle than briquette. 😁

[@debbiethomas6824]

I wish I could spend a day or two in your actual presence to learn.i am spending lots of hours watching your videos and they have been so helpful

[@debbiethomas6824]

Is that a steel rod you are using or aluminum

[@michaeldudley4822]

Great info on all your videos

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Thanks!

[@rayocaballo6122]

Love the honesty no bull Shit videos teach a lot

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

😁👍

[@otisnapper4107]

Maybe you can do some sketches when approaching a Turtleback how the angles change relative to centerline to knock those chunks off I enjoy the sketches you do

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

OK

[@davidheffner4917]

Awesome I learned a lot from you!!!!!

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Thanks Jack.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

You're welcome

[@mooseass1753]

I got your reply, you are the smartest and entertaining caveman on TH-cam. My cousin sent me a box of rocks from S. Texas and I can't even make a scratch on them. But it's fun watching you . Charles

Thanks for this.

[@barackoli5930]

Thanks. Appreciate the upload.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

[@wildshadowmatic1571]

Turtle backs are this noob knappers biggest learning curve atm....that's if I dont snap the rock first😋😂😂 i now understand y the pros say you will go threw alot of rock before you get anywhere 🙃🙃

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Oh yes.

[@davidcurry9292]

I use a ball ping hammer with copper caps molded to each end lol

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Nice

[@marycomeau9364]

That's a great idea

[@johnsmalldridge6356]

That looks like the English and French ballast stones I find.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Cool.

[@briantaulbee6452]

Oh, and I finally got myself a cut proof glove. Not tried knapping while wearing it yet, it seems kinda stiff.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Nice

[@bjellison905]

I fashioned a piece of double padded leather I use to hold the rock

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

@@bjellison905 cool. 👍

[@chinogabesv650]

Would you recommend a ball peen hammer like in this video for knapping hard quartzites?

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Sure. Ball peen hammers are my tool of choice when trying to get into tough rock. It's not going to be easy for final finishing but it will allow you to spall and create a rough biface quickly.

[@chinogabesv650]

@@KnapperJackCrafty exactly what I needed to hear thx man

[@marycomeau9364]

What did your aluminum percusser ever do to you?🤔

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Heheh...

[@richardcummings7079]

What are your gloves and where can I buy some.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

I'll look them up and put a link in the description.
