Glass Arrowhead

[FearTheGremlin]

Good, but needs a somewhat longer tang, I think.

[TheFatbaboon]

cool... now eat it!!!

[TheFatbaboon]

cool... now eat it!!!!!!!

[jochem558]

not to srarp make a sharp pont

[slipknotnation]

Very nice point, well made!

Glass can be somewhat predictable on how it flakes, If you want a challenge try quartz, it is brittle but make it right and it turns out strong, but it is very unpredictable.

I have probably been knapping for almost a month or two now, and I have only made one good arrowhead, though I have not tried using modern tools.

Thanks for the video!

[loadedClownZ]

would these arrow heads shatter if i made some to use for target practice?

[Talondas]

Nice points...how did you make them using the pliers?

I'm a knapper and would really appreciate the input on how you actually flaked the glass.

Thanks...

[Tacome1942]

@Talondas i used the gap on the tip to hook the corners of the glass and the rest is like pressure flaking.

[Talondas]

@Tacome1942 Would you be willing to make a video showing the technique? I think it would add greatly to the modern paleo skill set if you are willing.

[backyardsounds]

show us how!

[BigDH28]

Wow! Awesome Job man!

[theinsane101]

hmm, i might give it a try because it really isn't that bad.

[zop1111]

Really cool

[joec123able]

very nice arrow heads should probly only use for hunting because there glass and wil break if used on targets to much

[wargarkaz]

Glass is moar sharp than metal :0

[newcaramrod]

bury them, and lets see those dumb ass geologist geek over these and bullshit about how they were made along time ago hahahaha

[adrolak35]

@newcaramrod the thing is, actually. that is how they made them hundreds of years ago. they used glass. obsidian, chert, and other volcanic glasses were used, along with deer antler billets. It's MUCH harder with actual obsidian, and glass is often what's used for people who are just beginning to learn, because it's much easier to not only pressure flake but also to make a platform to start flaking with. Trust me, I know.

[cmdlord]

@otobuscuemre Warrior,to be precise . :>

[FlintKnappingDreams]

[IntegralDischarge]

Try to make your own optic for your awsm :)

[TheJds10]

sweet i tried on rock and im only twelve years old i made a couple but they sucked the problem is i live in a city so i cant get the rocks but there is a ton of glass so you've inspired me to go get some and make some arrow heads.

[crazystreetskater1]

ur awesome dude.could u put a how 2?

[splitheaven]

Make a bow! and shoot it

[mw2rapsballs]

make a vid about you making one

[ilikefpsgames1]

yeah but when you are making it you might get cuts of it

[austinoneal12343]

Make a tutorial

[warfare1945]

Have u tried to flint knap it's a bit hard but you get a great sharp end it's how the northern Indians Iroquois mostly used to do it

[MilesBennetDyson]

Make a bow!

[Ryandrogyny]

You should make a video of you making one of these.

[NicR94]

i used to be into knapping about a year and a half ago. its a great skill to learn just incase your in an odd situation. i use to go out and find obsidian and i think i used up all the obsidian i could find within a 2 mile radious from my place. but you should try using wine bottle glass its thicker and its less likely to break

[holyman96]

why are yall talking about his guns when this video is a completely different subject?

[skellens42]

how many bullets for the mg have u made ?

[MlkePortnoy]

You should make a bow to shoot these

[ElectricBagpipe]

hey! man, that's awesome, wonderful job. i think glass knapping is probably easier to pick up than wood working, man, gouges are so expensive and the home depot i found lacks many many hand tools for wood.

[dllckc]

pls disassemble the trigger group of your shotgun

[Spartan117A1]

Hey, have you ever heard of the Luty's SMG's design ?

[bigbagron]

You should make a big ol' spearhead.

[snorkel321]

+1. I like that youve got a hobby that youre so commited too (unlike me, lol. But i do train martial arts and play airsoft) .. Not everything is about TV and computers! :)

[dabeshu]

Hey, that's really cool.

[yommomalama]

nice job man

[xxuncexx]

tacome is from a parallel universe!

in his universe they go from advanced guns and rifles to bows and arrows! whats next!? clubs! stones!

[HahUsmell]

@xxuncexx clubs are too advance. twigs and sticks are more likely

[GunOwnerDan]

Knapping is what made it possible for humans to take over the world! Band aids are a must and for best results try using copper nails for pressure flaking. The ancients used deer antler, stone and bone for knapping if you want to try "abo". If there are any "knap-ins" in your area I would recommend going. There will be people there instructing, selling tools, stone, and everything else you might need.

[SupermanorNot]

Lol, ye they make it into a necklace, put it on, and it accidentally slides across their throat.

[axeaxe46]

Oh yea also a box

[axeaxe46]

I got about 100 un used bullet links If u want them
