Wow that is a massive pile of preforms. They're all rather large too. And your collection of rocks yet to become preforms is impressive.

Impressive Biface pile. Wish i had one like that.

you buy a broom handle cut it down so that it fits allow your side and in your wrist comfortably and then you add a copper cap and drilla hole for a nail head

that blade looks too long to be A throwing weapon, what is it?
If you threw that and missed would it not break?

Ishi would be proud of you and your apprentices. May the spirit of Ishi live on...

Your abrader looks like a piece of grinding stone. Which grit is best?
kyletango 9 months ago
@kyletango I think that piece was medium grit, actually a grinding wheel I bought at Home depot and split into 4 sections. Course grit is too agressive for my taste and can shatter the edge. Find grit is ok, but does not thicken the edge as much. Most importantly, only use these modern man made abrader swhen you are using copper tools and never when using hammerstones or antler percussin tools. They work fine for that. When using abo hammerstones or antler always use hammerstones to abrade.

Is the tortoise at frame 4:29 your messenger? That's cool. They are considered endangered species here in South Alabama. As one who is new to flint knapping, I really enjoy your vids.

@kyletango Yeah, they are great pets! They are endangered out here also. Permits are required to keep them in captivity and they cannot be collected from the wild.

I'm new to flint knapping and I'm wondering how do you make a Ishi stick?

@jacemn3079 They are easy to make, just buy some grounding copper wire at Home depot, twist it in a drill and cut off 4" or 5" of length. Buy a section of hardwood drill, or an old shovel handle, or even just a tree branch and cut it to 15" length or so. Use a drill bit the same size as the copper wire and drill out 4" or so. Insert the copper wire. Thats is! As the copper wears out you remove the copper, hammer the tip to shape and add a bit of sand into the hole and re-insert copper....
