Another dark weapon has been born from that square obsidian your explanations followed by clear examples help me to better understand all these concepts that I am just beginning to perceive, thank you very much for talking about that topic and so many others, it was very interesting. I loved the video especially when you put those voices,lol. greetings Pat 👌✨️. 🦈🔱
Had I not seen the piece before you started, you couldnt get me to believe that blade came from that boom-a-rang piece of obsidian! Very nice job indeed!
@3:26 well if you couldn't knap, no one would care what you unboxed. Flintknapping does get a little monotonous even if you are very skilled, like you are. But an unboxing video is like Christmas to us viewers. Then when we see you knap one of those peices the next week, it sparks interest and grabs our attention. Some of us are here to listen to you while you knap, not just the knapping. We have seen a million flakes come off, but having said that. You are one of the best Patrick 😎 so in summery, I am here to see how well you do on a point, how you overcome obstacles during the knapping, listening to your approach of said obstacles, your humour as you knap and the final outcome. Maybe you will be a national treasure on day 😂😎
It's completely fabulous Pat, there's no way I could ever do that with obsidian. I'd have broken it about 2000 times before I even got it half way done.
You were right about the strikes needing to be made horizontally. Quick study on the fly the first time you used that rock. I watch very closely how you are making your strikes. There’s a ton to be learned from carefully watching the exact direction of your strikes. You Knapp so much that you are reluctant to slow down… but when things get to the incremental stage. The thinking has to focus more… that’s where I get nervous about the surface of the tool. I think if you slow down and clean the bopper surfaces thoroughly, you will get much more precise results. You are accurate enough…
I really love your hypothetical scenarios about unfinished artifacts. I often think such things. I've wondered maybe a person was freezing to death trying to crank out a blade or arrow or spear, or severely wounded, or very amateur or maybe had all the wrong tools,. Or maybe had a baby and had to stop for a while or move and lost some unfinished pieces. Or eaten by spiders😂
1:08:50 when houre talking about flake angle and position. Ive found for me where i hold my indirect under my belly and not behind my knee. It allows me to have a better view of the path i wanna take and i can put more pressurefrom the rod tip to the peice too. My Dunlap has finally become useful 😂 my belly dunlaped over my belt.
It's more that just velocity. Power also comes from weight or mass of the tool. A low-power strike can have the same velocity as a high-power strike if you lower the mass of the tool.
@KnapperJackCrafty yes exactly. That is what I meant. A very fast small calibre bullet will shatter a window. But the same weight bullet at subsonic speed may not. A heavy bullet at low velocity might not either. We get eachother 🤣🤣🤣
That 2nd long narrow flake you took is Nice. That should make for a sweet point. You dont really wanna knap that one. I think you really wanna tape it to some cardboard, place it into a envelope with my address on it. 😂 Yeah....
Your always flintlnapping. Have you tried useing these in a primative fashion. If you haven’t you should post a video on you making a clay bowl or something like that
The unboxing and all Your videos are good. Very appreciated thank you.
All twisted and blocky, this is going to be an interesting challenge 😮😊. Like ALL your videos, regardless, they rock!!!!! Beautiful obsidian.👍😃.

I’m glad you found it interesting. 🙏
I love your phase names. Ya know, I'd heard hockey players say, live on the edge. But Pat, you give new meaning to that expression.
So beautiful, you could make some prescription sunglasses out of that material 😂
Nice looking stuff, keep em coming. Love waking up to some JackCrafty.
Knapletics at its finest.😮😊

Good job on that one.
Thats beautiful man.

That was a nice piece of glass. It went nicely. It got easier when it narrowed. One little spot and you figured it out. Beautiful piece.

Just say no to cracks
You earned that one.

Haha. Can't argue with Dunlap
@6:33low velocity is what I think you mean.

There is definitely many dangers in letting someone else do our thinking for us. It absolutely leads to slothism
These chunks I've seen ... Yes, rivers of obsidian chunks exist in many consistencies.... I'm familiar with the location 🤣
That 2nd long narrow flake you took is Nice. That should make for a sweet point. You dont really wanna knap that one. I think you really wanna tape it to some cardboard, place it into a envelope with my address on it. 😂 Yeah....
When you grind obsidian...is this sometimes just to observe the line of your edges?
Yes
If you weren't that master that you are JC, no one would watch the unboxings. It all goes hand in hand.
Sadly that's about right. Societies have been turned into Sid the sloth

I do what is the most difficult to show.
To me it seems like you were doing everything right and maybe there is an inconsistent spot right there.
@@robsefton4952 Hmmm... could be.

No, 😭👶🥪's 😮😊🤣🤣🤣
@@RSnyder-vx8li 😂
I like your videos. Sometimes you talk too much and other times you talk way too much.🤐
It would be interesting to know where you draw the line. 😁
I dislike the obsidian locally it is seldom solid material it has (micro) holes and inclusion and all sorts of wonky stuff.
I know what you mean
