    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.

    I totally agree with some of the others. Great job in making something out of a hunk of rock that didn't look too promising. I like seeing you make something out of what others wouldn't even have a chance at. Well done, well done.

    Ticks often like to crawl up trees and high shrubs. They can then drop down on warm blooded critter like dogs and humans. They can sense them at a distance. I have experienced the troubles that ticks can cause. Bad stuff. Paralysis and pain.

    Tried knapping this week for an hour. After a 2 year break it’s NOT like riding a bike. Spent most of the time looking for tools / tool maintenance. Hit a few long flakes all in the wrong direction. I still enjoy watching you tame the big ugly rocks. About time for some rhyolite?

    I found a piece almost identical in size to that turtle back you're working.
    It was a lighter, creamy color ! I looked down and could see 3" of flint, just under the soil.
    I reach down to get it and unfortunately it was broken in half !
    It was still about 3"× 4" and 3/8" thick ! It was the heel of the piece !

    Here in Kentucky, we have several kinds of ticks ! The ones you're talking about are no big deal ! The bad ones are the little ones ! Smaller than a pinhead! In huge nests with several hundred !
    When you get into them, they are all over you ! The bites look like you were eat up with chiggers ! You could literally play connect the dots !!! We never had those years ago !

    I killed a deer one season. I walked maybe 50yds to get to it. By the time I got to it, less than 5 minutes, literally hundreds of the larger deer ticks were exiting, stage left ! I could see them crawling up out of the hair, all over it's body !
    It was disgusting! Like a scene from a Stephen King movie !
    What intrigued me most, was the fact that they knew their host was dead ! It was cold out, I guess they could tell the difference in the body temperature ?

    I use to hunt the artifacts when they plowed in the spring. I'd wait till we'd had a good rain !
    Do you think that everyone flint napping now has affected the collectors ???

    Great video. Is that rock heat treated? I have some similar and was trying to work it last night and it wasn't flaking very well. It also is not heat treated. Should I heat treat it?

    • @KnapperJackCrafty
      @KnapperJackCrafty  Рік тому

      It's not heat treated. I recommend heat treating some flakes, no matter what stone it is, when you're having trouble knapping it. Try 350°F for 4 hours. Also, look up my heat treating videos. Do a search for Jack Crafty Heat Treat. Lastly, you can put the stones and flakes through more than one heat treat. Go 25°F higher with each re-heat.
