@bakerofcake321 Sure, they work great if you're trying to just knap and not do replication.

I watched you thin that confabulatin rock and still can't believe it. When I try to thin like that the stone gets narrower but not much thinner.

I don't think I'm going to go to that one. I stick pretty close to home most of the time. I'll be at water creek though, as long as it's the first weekend of may this year.

10-4.
Will you make it to the North GA Knap-In in April?

Great question! It takes more energy to release a flake with a softer hammer, so the bending pressures caused by holding against the blows and the force applied to a larger portion of the edge can cause end snap. Harder hammers at angles straighter down are friendly on dull edges on ends because the fracture starts early and causes less vibration. because fracture starts early the support causes less bending when hand holding imo.

Excellent flintknapping and instruction. You mention that you prefer a certain hammerstone over antler on the base to avoid end-snap. Why? I thought that since the antler is softer, it's a safer bet.

Is working with antler harder then a hammerstone? what type of rock should you use if your just starting?

Softer, gritty hammerstones I think are better beginning tools. Santstone that grabs your jeans is about right. Very hard hammerstones put too much shock into the rock. Antler works well also, but requires different edge treatment. I suggest starting with hammerstones.
