After seeing this video and being frustrated trying to Knapp glass bottle bottoms with little to no real success and close to 100 pieces that ended up breaking in half, I went to the local dollar store and picked up a thick bottom cheep plate. I broke it and was left with some nice big flat pieces. I do have a few pieces of some nice chert, but I’m a beginner and don’t really trust myself yet. I’ve found that dinner plates have been a lifesaver in teaching me how to properly build my platforms and thin pieces out better. I’ve been able to make some nice points with flake scars traveling at least 85 percent of the surface. Although not perfect the broken plate method has been a HUGE help, especially to a beginner knapper like me who has limited access to nice material. Thank you for this video as it has helped me grow in the hobby and learn more and more every day, building my technique and skill as I go.
That's awesome. Glad to hear it.
Dang - well done and I bet your not even in trouble now for breaking the dish because a porcelain arrowhead is way cooler than a porcelain dish! thanks for the video!
Unless the porcelain dish is a rare one-of-a-kind Chinese thing from the Ying Yang dynasty.
Wow! Truly transfixing to watch. It's like watching a time served caveman--flintknapper.
I've dabbled with knapping and whittling as a youth, to understand the _Old Ways_ and it's refreshing to see a _Master_ of flintknapping at work in these modern times - especially using materials other than flint. Subbed!
Thanks!
I took about half of a broken small ceramic saucer and knapped out a curved blade knife. Used the homemade ceramic knife while skinning and cutting up a deer and it did a very good job. Was amazed at it's sharpness as I easily separated the hide, fat, and tissue from the muscle. The saucer knife did a good job in cutting up the meat into stew meat chunks, too.
Nice! It's good to hear a success story.
Absolutely love this video, as I have access to plenty of porcelain, great as usual mate, thanks 🙏🏻 p.s please don’t worry about time on the videos, I could sit and watch and listen to you doing that all night it’s so interesting and therapeutic
I'm just getting into knapping with some bottle bottoms and a 4 inch steel nail.....There is something that is extremely satisfying about watching someone who knows what they are doing make a tip. Your videos are helping me out tremendously! Thank you for that!
+Reck Tominvayed Thanks. Bottle bottoms are a good way to start.
ok you're officially awesome, definitely following this channel
Oops, broke another plate.
Driving through Tennessee years ago my brother thought I was crazy when I asked him to stop on the side of a country road to pick up a lid off a old toilet seat! John’s glass!!
Yep, I remember knapping that Jonhstone. 😁
Your craftwork is wonderful ( Flintknapping glass, stone and Porcelain ) !!!!
Currently I am building my first stone knife with the help of your video.
My Congratulations !
Best regards.

Interesting...maybe I'll explore other materials to knap from here on out. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi jack sorry I’ve not been watching your videos lately but I’ve been having some serious medical problems, anyway I’m back now and re discovering how great and inspiring they are, thank you so much and God bless you
Thanks Joseph. That made my day.
love your work with other material it shows many ways that you can make a very nice point out of what ever you may have available and in todays times that may prove valuable beyond belief keep posting
Dang you make this look so easy young fella, and it is not. Thx for vid.
That's one hell of a percussion wave at the beginning. You need to make one with that stamp left in tact. Especially the microwave and oven safe. Skewer your rabbit on it and cook it over the fire.
Ive found the better quality china, the better the flakes. Makes breaking dishing not so sad now.😄
Good to know.
Very interesting working the piece of porcelain. Great video to watch. Nice looking point from a piece of plate.
+Tommy Vinson Thanks!
Excellent video!
nice, this really is a lesson to people who cant find good natural material and are tired of glass
+yoomd1 Yep, this might give them a little variety but it's not that fun actually. I like glass better than this stuff. :-)
+JackCrafty really? huh, well have fun with ur bag of goodies lol
I thougt porcelaine was see thru. This looks like fine white earthenware
Native American Indians made things out of fired clay. Why didn't they make fired clay arrow and spear points?
Pottery was a very late invention. Almost all of Native American history did not include pottery. By the time pottery was invented, projectiles such as darts and arrows were getting smaller, and the stone for small points was easy to get. Besides, pottery is much weaker than points made from shell, bone, antler, and horn.
On a step fracture or where your want to run a flake across,....where you want the plate ruffles to disappear use the amber gorilla glue.
Try to do the fulsome flutes,..... take some clay roll it in the shape of your flute put a thin layer of glue in the flute dam and put it in the microwave till you see it boiling,.... about 3 seconds,.... stop,... and in about a minute you will hear a pop and the material is removed.
Try it at your own risk,..... it puts holes in Corelle plates,........it pulls chunks out of granite.
Boiling it activates it,....it might work in your application as well.
Perhaps you should try it and report back to us.
Excellent! Hugs from Brazil!
Thank you.
well im not about to attempt china for my first attempt...so i went out to home depot..for a glass block..wish me success..you guys are am8zng
the weed man uses the same zip locks as you lol
Smart guy. :-)
Ah, no. I don't smoke weed but I do occasionally smoke a pipe or a good cigar.
Please forgive me if this is a silly question but what are you holding the knapping rod on how are you holding it? When I attempt to hold it under my leg it just falls down,

Thank you Jack. I am not a knapper so it was hard for me to understand. I have been trying to find some flint or chert and give it a try. It looks like a very interesting hobby.
Oh how I wish I could send you a photo of my first attempt at this 😢
😆
I want to try iron slag. I live near a very old iron mine and there is TONS of this blue slag and I'm thinking about trying to make something out of it.
Might as well try it. Let us know how it works out.
Do you have any videos on how you make your knapping tools and the variety of tools you should have? The method you use of striking the knapping tool with a mallet affords so much more control.
See my videos 244 and 245.
Peen the bottom of the bit to give it more friction
Preliminary thinning flakes?
I can't remember if I did that on this one. I usually forget to do it, and on my older videos before a certain date, I hadn't started the practice at all.
you had a lot of pre-cast flake scars on that one
Yep
Hello! Do you think limestone like the one they use to make the traditional pavements in Portugal would be suitable? Thank you! Trying to put together my first tools eheheh
No, I don't think the limestone would work. Sometimes chert can be found within limestone and that might work. Chert is similar to flint.
the stone cuts so precisely, that's why I was hoping that stone would work...
love real porcelain. makes wonderful points
yeah, I wish I had more of the thick stuff when I made this video.
NICE! How durable would you say something like this would be? I live in AZ, and in hiking I've found broken "miner's china" (totally plain but solid white crockery sold by the mine stores to the workers back in the 1800s) pieces pretty often, and once or twice I've found scatters of what looked like flaking debris. So I've wondered-- do you know if this was actually done by any of the tribes in my area (O'odham, Apache and Jocome mostly back then) in the 1800s or earlier?
Certainly possible. Glass was used by many tribes, so it's not too much of a stretch to include ceramic crockery. I haven't seen any specific examples, though. And yes, ceramic is durable enough for arrowheads.
it looks like you need three hands, one for the glass, one for the chipper and one for the hammer thing
Yep, sure would be nice to have three hands. If you're wondering how it do this, look back into some of my earlier videos for a zoomed-out front view.
Amazing work. Since some of your arrowheads remind me of fish. I was wondering if anyone ever made fishing lures like this?
Thanks. I don't think fishing lures were made of flint back in the day. It's an interesting idea, certainly.
Knowledge Will Increase Polynesians made hooks I have a friend that has one tattooed on his shoulder I asked him that is one primitive looking to hook his reply and they work good the fish swallows Now we have lunch.🕶"
Hi Jack, incredible craftsmanship there, do you think this kind of arrowheads are capable of taking big game ?
Well, ceramic is as strong as some of the weaker stones, so yes, as long as you have a powerful bow. :-)
thanks for your reply Jack, keep up the amazing job
It looks like you must have three hands. How are you holding that white tool while hitting it with that stick??????
I hold that stick behind my knee. Watch some of my more recent vids. :-)
How have you got your copper knapper held on your leg please ???? Hitting it seems a lot more accurate and safer . Whats the technique???? Thanks
Do a search on UA-cam for " jack Crafty front view".
@@KnapperJackCrafty thanks.
@@KnapperJackCrafty Excellent, you just saved my knuckles from a pile of grief. x. I like the way it can be moved up and down by clenching the leg muscles. Thanks
@@telfordguy34uk you're very welcome.
how are you hold the copper point. your left hand hold plate. right got wooden better. copper hammer look swing on henge.
I hold the knapping tool under my knee. See my other videos.
thanks
What happened to the end of the vid? It cut off short!
+WAGONJON I don't know actually. I assumed that everything was OK but I guess some of the vid was cut off. I may have to upload it again but the number of views is better tbat all my other recent videos so maybe I shouldn't try to fix what isn't broken..... :-)
Yeah leave it!
Try the glass that is made when they use thermite to join rails on railroads. Just walk around on the edge of the railroad and you can find it.
Hmmm... I'll have to look. Thanks!
Its basically slag
oh wow me too I'll look. I used thermite to weld/solder electrical ground lines to their rods, but of course we didn't use NEARLY as much as a railroad would have, haha. Didn't think about how there did those. huh! Neat. If there's a bit of boron or something, some sands should be nicer than others.
I am a tin knocker I've made arrowheads out of sheet metal that works good didn't bend as much or broke off but all in all pair of tinsnips 22 gauge sheet-metal you have arrowhead🕶"
I would have snapped the point off 49 times during this video and shot myself in the head (just kidding silly). Good job fella.
Thanks. It's funny how something so stressful can actually relieve stress... if you dont snap it.
I wanna try this
to long of a video edit some stuff
Editing is not my thing.
+JackCrafty ok people have there oun ways
+JackCrafty I like the length of your videos. You are thorough, I always learn something. I was curious, how many points do u make a week?
+PaPoints I used to make one point a day on average. Now, maybe one point per week -- unless I have to fill an order for multiple points.
No thank you. To my mind, once you are using metal tools to knap stone tools, you are missing the entire point. Thumbs down.
Once you understand the dynamics of how flakes are removed, you can use almost anything. That's the entire point. Ancient man used what he had, not what he morally thought was right.
@@KnapperJackCrafty I never said anything about what was morally right. Nice try. You are either making stone age tech or your not. Morals have nothing to do with it. If you're going to use metal, why not just use metal arrow heads and be done with it or use a hydraulic press and geopolymer and make stone arrows that way. Hell, why not put a piece of stone in a CnC mill and let it carve the stone arrowhead for you. It's almost like watching two knights in armor holding lances and then they get in cars and joust. Sure, they're jousting but the lances seem a little unnecessary and it's not really jousting at that point. So, thumbs down.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 you are employing a false dicotomy when you say say that you're "making stone age tech or you're not". This is a tactic for moral arguments. The tech is in the flaking, not the tools.
@@KnapperJackCrafty I have no idea why you keep trying to bring morals into this? I'm not. It's funny. Not as funny as a guy using steel implements to make stone arrowheads, but funny just the same. Once again, if you're going to use metal, just use a metal arrowhead and skip the BS.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 I do use metal arrowheads. Are we good now? Or am I still evil?
