Ed: I love this video! I can't handle large pieces of flint anymore so try to make bird points. I really wish you would take the time to do more videos on making small points from flakes; most knappers make the big, showy stuff. I think a real arrowhead is the best example of the flint knapper's art. Perhaps you could walk us through flake selection. I bought close to $200 worth of gem quality flint at a knap-in last weeked and I bet most of it has too much curve to use. Cpl. Rey in Ohio.

@cplrey Lately I have been trying to replicate sahara desert points. I have some samples to study. Many are super thin because they are made from flakes. As it gets a little cooler this fall I will see If I can produce a useful video. Thanks for watching!

Very nice piece!!!

[oblivionboy1]

u souldnt dothat in the house cause of the microscpic razor blades from the rock

[ishouldplayzelda]

sharp rock chips on a hardwood floor...

[5tonyvvvv]

real nice job..but u gave yourself way too much work...u should have just started with a much smaller flake..

Can you please explain  the piece of copper you are using.

Thanks,

Chuck

@chuckb71954 The copper wire is a substitute for a deer antler. Pressure applied to the edge of the stone chips off a flake.

Thanks for watching!

can you find those kind of thin rocks just laying around? that the perfect thickness.

@terminator567

I started with a big flake from a much bigger rock.

See the Monster Bopper videos...

Thanks for watching!

[IamMohawk]

Great job I love those little points.

[82f150]

kinda nice to see a pro making a small point. seeing guys knock out those monster blades gets kinda old. thanks for the video

[FriarTuck1961]

Beautiful!

Thanks for the tip about using the pressure flaker as a shearing tool. You sure do pretty work.
