Marty, when using a billet I noticed you dont hit directly into the biface. Is there a reason for this? Is using the corner edge of the billet a better way to strike off flakes then striking directly into the platform?

I turn my billets and usually use a corner, or just off the bottom somewhere. Straight in is dangerous when it gets thinner or creates hinge flakes, so I try to back off the angle unless I've got an easy ridge for a straight in shot. Hope that made sense?

Marty, When you use your small abrading stone to isolate the platform on either side, are the flakes being pressed off as with a pressure flaker, or are they being ground off? Are you using a corner or edge of the abrader?....jim

great question jim. Both. Sometimes a scrunch and sometimes I can shear good sized little flakes off of ridges to smooth. I usually grind same side as flake to smooth, then isolate w/ scrunch, then back scrunch the platform to desired position. Then I grind the corners and front of platform. I use the corner of a sharp abrader often especially in the later stage.

Marty, in my humble opinion, it must be 100 times more difficult to make a Sweetwater type, Caddo blade, of a great width/thickness ratio! I am glad to see you do this series of vids....to me much more impressive than any clovis point.

Any clovis point? That's a mighty big statement partner. Don't let Sr. Winatchee hear you say that. lol. Apples and oranges
