WHAT IS HIGH GRADE STONE?
Anything you can run a 1/2" or more flake with a pressure flaker.
HEAT TREATING:
Heat treat a few FLAKES of everything you got except HIGH GRADE Raw Stone, Obsidian, Dacite, Basalt, Hornstone, Sonora, Fort Payne, or Rhyolite. Start with flakes and spalls less than 1" thick for 200°F for 24 hours to dry it out. Then raise the temp to 275°F and hold for 4 hours. Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back I at 200°F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 4 hours.
Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back in at 200°F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 1/2 hour, the raise to 375 for 4 hours.
Repeat with temp going up 50°F until you reach 600°F or nice chippable stone. Whichever comes first. If no good result, or things blow up, let us know. - Навчання та стиль
Agees are one of my favorite points. I'm always amazed when you get a great looking point out of a really gnarled hunk of stone.
Thank you
Love the Agee and the color. Beautiful Jack.
Thank you.
I worked a couple nice chunkers today outta that stuff I got couple months back. Couple big sandy style side notches. One straight base one concave.
Then the grandbaby came and I had to clean up my mess so no cut little piggys.
Nice
@@KnapperJackCrafty i forgot to mention they were almonds 😂 but you already knew that 😂
@@RedEyedPatriot 🤣
Jack, I have watched hundreds of knapping videos i have to say ,you are the artist of artisis when it comes to beautiful symectrical points i very much injoy your videos i would still be knapping, but I have got too old.
I like watching you nap the amber Georgia flint. It’s my favorite. I also like the horn stones and Flintridge Ohio flint. Thanks
Very nice work sir. That clunky piece of stone turned out a beautiful point.
Very very nice great work be safe Gene Gorringe Mi 👍 ✌️ 🇺🇲 🇨🇦
No one does intricate work like you, I very enjoy watching your work you need to do a ring I hear there is the most hard thing to do.
😊
Hmmm

Your worn tools and co knapping talk remind me of knapping with my brother. We had separate goals, I basically spalled flakes in attempts to make a good biface and he worked the flakes with a pressure flaker. We had one copper hammer, hammer stones and one copper pressure flaker. Tools we were made aware of by an old man named Corky, who did curation work for a museum in Texas. Dang memory lane is long.
Cool. 👍
Hey jack last night I finally, successfully completed a serrated point with corner notches out of porcelain 🎉
Sweet!
Beautiful point!!
You are so inspiring man, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks
Beautiful !!!
Informative and entertaining as usual. I am at Flint Ridge, Coshocton. Wish you could have made it.
Yeah, me too. Maybe next year.
Beautiful point....
beautiful work Patrick. Thanks
Surgical...things killer...... It looks like it could fly forever 🦅
Oh yes
Beautiful points
Jack , you are one crazy/funny man
😁
“Tortured in the brain” 😂😂😂
Not to get off topic..I was cleaning out my night stand last night and came across two points I had found years ago. One is a really dark green color with the tip brokekn off. Real thick but nicely flaked. I pulled out my jewlers loop to look at the flaking closely and noticed a crack. Then I noticed what looks like dark glue holding the two pieces together. I am 100% positive I did not glue it together. I am 100% positive it is a real artifact. I sifted it out of 2' hole at the Potomac river near my house. What the holy Hell! I am perplexed! This point is really thick. It would be very difficult to break. Its also not very long. Its about2" long x 3/4" wide x 1/2" thick. The adhesive is real dark, brownish in color.
I've seen other artifacts that are glued together. I think they were used as pendants after they broke. The glue is most often asphaltum or bitumen.

Looks great enjoy your video keep up the good work.
Thanks for the upload
I like it you revealed the secret of how to blast thru the step fractures by heat treating first, but you didn't tell us if you heat treated the entire rock or just that piece.
Just that piece
wow!!!! no puedo creer tanta habilidad!!! hace parecerlo muy sencillo!!!
I need to make a thin point on my 1/2" and 3/8" aluminum rods. Although it is amazing what fine work ypu can do with just the 1/2" I inderect percussed a point down the other day to about 1-1/4"x 1/2"...broken tip. Lol Amazing. Smaller bites
Use scissors ✂️ under water 💧 to cut to size above water it shatters, saw this done in a video.
Yeah, I saw that too.
Well, I can relate as a newbie that I've destroyed a few pieces and I find that making a good arrow head a great challenge. I'm still feeling my way reducing material too a smaller scale. Best I can relate.
A few pieces!? You're doing great man. I've destroyed countless.
@@sonoman00ify a few translates into a few small boxes I use to catch the broken pieces.😃
@rogeradam7391 I learn something everything I break one. I learn a lot actually. Once a piece is broken it let's you try things that you wouldn't normally. Awhile back I realized I wasn't hitting my indirect percussion tool hard enough, thus running into a lot of step fractures. Now I am realizing I can hit pretty hard and run better flakes. Now it's just consistency. Earlier today I had a piece nearly perfectly thinned. I got a muscle twitch in my right leg holding the rod behind my knee and slammed it right in middle of piece and snapped it in half. It's frustrating but therapeutic at same time.
Stain glass is horrible the glass pebbles from hobby lobby are my favorite from there.
You're correct, sir. But I'm still doin' it.
You can take that thing I say to answer that question on hitting your fingers. Just tell ‘em you do it most of the time, your just tough as woodpecker lips.👍
I have found a pretty good amount of television screens ! Do you have any videos on knaping TV glass ?
Not yet. It's pretty much the same as other glass.
I’ve been thinking mr Jack, we’re stone implements they made always flaked on the entire piece? What is the advantages of making sure every piece of the material is flaked even if it is shaped right and even? Is it just a uniform look that they went for? Like making art?
No, most pieces were made randomly. Not all the surfaces were flaked all the time.
I would be scared to carry that in my quiver
Yup
Thank you so much, your skill is amazing. Love the form of this point type. Do you think these were made to accompany someone to the afterlife?
Yes. They appear to be offerings or funeral gifts.
Nice job jack I’ve got a question on your indirect how far does rod go in handle and how much you leave sticking out from face?
I don't nt currently use a handle on my indirect percussion rods. But if you do want to use a handle, I recommend 1-1/2" of depth and 6" sticking out.
@@KnapperJackCraftythanks for the info Jack
What a beautiful yellow what kind of chert is that?
Flint river or Georgia chert. 43
Yay
I know I am commenting a lot, it’s good for your algorithm right? Remember that show called forged in fire. What would you think of a forged in stone?
You mean a knapping challenge? There's usually several people involved in knapping challenges between UA-camrs every so often. I think it's a good thing.
maquahuitl is always the end game?
@mikemason4758 No, it's not that time consuming.
How do you get your self out of a funk!? I was doing ok before Christmas but was focusing on making knives. I had to take two days off from knapping during Christmas and Christmas Eve. Started knapping again but wanted to work on arrow heads again since I hadn’t made any for a while and have plenty of knives now. My arrow heads weren’t the best but were decent now I’m breaking every arrow head I attempt while either thinning/shaping or notching. Been trying every day for at least 2 hours since Christmas. I’m so annoyed and aggravated🙃🤬
Knives are a different mindset from arrow points. It's not a funk. It's a learning curve. Basically, you forgot how to knap arrow points.
@@KnapperJackCrafty I know it’s a different mindset and everything. I guess I didn’t realize how quickly I can loose the subconscious and muscle memory needed for this. It’s so rewarding when you finally get to the point you’re actually making decent points and blades instead of gravel but to the contrary it’s way more frustrating and disappointing when you go back to making gravel. I thought I was disappointed when I couldn’t make anything and all I wanted was just to be able to make something, it didn’t matter what just anything at all. I’m way more frustrated now and it’s because i have set a standard for myself that I know I can do and have done it.
When I practice should I push through the aggravation of breaking everything untill I get it figured back out or just push until I reach a certain amount of frustration then take a break and come back to it even though I haven’t produced any improvement? I had been doing the latter as being frustrated and aggravated is distracting me from what I should be focused on but when I come back to it I’m right back where I left off and start the whole process over again 😂 lol. I’m not going to give up and I’ll get it eventually. I just needed to blow some steam lol
@@austinlong7700 I had the same problem. I just made thicker points and backed off from the "minimum standard = maximum effort" thing.
