that citronelle is some amazing stuff. I wish it came in bigger pieces. Hands down my favorite rock to work. It gets such good color and becomes so slick with heat.
Your work while splitting flint is a world championship. I haven't seen this type of work before. If you believe Scientists, this is how "primitive" people built our civilization. However, the various structures rather confirm an advanced civilization. It's hard to say precisely. Congratulations and warm regards 💖👋😀.
Great job; it would be beautiful to see mama point and her little babies. Beautiful material, at the start of this video I had no inkling of the success and results that would come from this river cobble. ❤
That was some pretty Rock inside wasn't it? That was one heck of a flake you took off with that first bump. Yeah that's why the heck of a Bopper. Good show.
Though most of my ms chert is small I love working it and seeing what the next one looks like inside. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Thanks for posting, I have learned a lot from your videos. Will you do a video of your keepers, I would love to see your favorite points from the past.
@@bracoop2 Flint/Chert is good, Obsidian no good, to fragile. I'm sure I could shoot out of your scrap pile the rest of my life haha. 3/4x7/8 is what my rifles use. You could probably do a good business with just your scrap pile.
I am interested in replicating small handaxes from chert river cobbles but I can not use modern hammers. Any suggested videos showing the reduction of chert cobbles using only stone and antler hammers?
Hello, I stumbled across your video and find it quite interesting. I am curious as to why you rub the edges down with that flat stone. What is the purpose of that?
For just a moment there, I almost thought you were human, when I saw a few edges get crushed. Then you spent the rest of the video showing what sets you apart from the rest of us boys and wannabes!
I have a video on bopper construction. Basically it's just a copper cap taped to a plastic pipe with electrical tape also between the cap and the pipe. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
It would be much more benefiting if u would just not explain what ur trying to do and instead just do it in silence thats a much better way to learn from
love your stuff, one of the guys i watched early on to learn to knap

Very educational. Thank you for taking the time to make a video to teach this
Thanks so much for your feedback!

Very impressive! I hope to see you in Eagleville this year.
Yep I just found out it's in July. I'll be there. Thanks
That's a good looking cobble.
This was a masterclass… Thank you! :)
Thank you so much for your support!
That was some good work right there. Enjoyed watching.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Thank you!
Awesome video great skills! What kind of rock!
Awesome work. looks like a yam. Lol
Great percussion thickness reduction. I look forward to some pressure and maybe indirect percussion.
Yes it is coming
Awesome

Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know!
Nice video. Just starting again after a twenty year hiatus
Good luck
Wow you are a fantastic napper.
Thank you for watching!
Is what kind of rock is that
Scraps would work well in my flintlock.
Does it have to be flint or can it be other stones? I have a massive amount of scrap pieces of flint chert obsidian

Excellent video Edbo.....where is Scooby ?
This is an older video. I put him in all my new ones.
Hello, I stumbled across your video and find it quite interesting. I am curious as to why you rub the edges down with that flat stone. What is the purpose of that?
We abrade the sharp edges to prevent crushing which spoils the chip formation. Thanks for watching!

I really appreciate your support!
So cool! What kind of tape are you using on your fingers?
Nexcare water proof tape. Very grippy grabby but not perfect protection. Does a good job for me.
I dig that bopper. Looks like it works nice. How.did you make it?

@@EDBO23 I will be looking for that bopper creation video.
Great video. Your fingers look like you night have a BP issue.
That's pretty not too bad.
Or rather what's the name of the type of rock
Citronelle chert from south Mississippi
Hi Edbo - What type of fishtail are you referring to?
Bayogoula fish tail is a small true arrow head found in southern Mississippi and Louisiana. Look in the Overstreet arrow head book. Or online search
@@EDBO23 Thanks! I’ll pull out my Overstreet’s.
Planning the Brown Bear knapin fourth week October
Ok great!
It would be much more benefiting if u would just not explain what ur trying to do and instead just do it in silence thats a much better way to learn from
For you, maybe.
