This is the last bit I have showing finishing the preform with a sandstone hammerstone. I'll have to do another video on notching one of these later. check out flintknappingtips.com for more videos.

No hand held camera required .. the leather on your leg is the focal point. Thx

[Flintknappingtips]

@MrSchpankme I don't understand. Hopefully the preform was in focus.

[MrSchpankme]

@Flintknappingtips ..Sorry, I was just joking with you. Noticed you had someone holding the camera instead of using a tripod. I'll be happy to send you a tripod if you need one.

@MrSchpankme Thanks for clarification and the offer is very generous. I found a tripod at a yard sale and have one now. Appreciate it though. marty

What is your striking angle? Some where between hard and soft hammer percussion striking angles? Looks closer to a hard hammer angle. I love how you can get such long thinning flakes with that hammerstone. You've got mad skills dude!

@SanRafaelSwell i'm stining down a lot more than in with this hammerstone. The hammerstone platforms have steeper antles than the antler ones, so a downward swing on this steeper angle platform can direct a long flake. thanks!
