Really nice stone Back in the day this material would’ve been traded over long distances and would have been considered sacred or something. Cuz like a lot of people in the Americas traded good stuff like agate and jasper and obsidian and some chert with a lot of silica over really really long distances like thousands of miles Yea that sh it ppl would love that!!! Also I love what u turned it into better than what I can make!! When I get some knappavle stone I hope I can get to at least Acheulean or Levallois level 😅
Abo vs modern tools, is a common talking point. I started out by hitting a rock with a rock though. Modern tool production is a subject that doesn’t include my backyard. That said some abo tools get better with use. Production of these tools is a process on both sides. I made my first copper sweatcap topped bopper today.
This is how tackling spec work becomes a spec-tacle. (I apologize. As a non-native, I shouldn’t be making bad puns.) But on a serious note, one of the most fascinating thing for me thinking about how a specific knapper in prehistory actually thought about style, originality, etc. I am almost sure some cultures allowed only making the best possible copy of their ideal style, while others may have appreciated variety, originality, and creativity.
It's Green Bloodstone Jasper. Usually available in slab form because it's rare. Facebook and Etsy are the first two places I'd look. When I get it, it's always from friends, rock collectors, and fellow knappers. It can be heat treated. I think temps below 350°F are recommended.
Im in a mental pickle here, im fixated on making points as sharp as possible to pierce big game, thinking it has to be really pointy or else it won't work but i keep seeing tips that are slightly rounded, chisel tips penetrating, Otzis arrowheads weren't perfect but he used them and i presume successfully... Then i was thinking about animal canine teeth and how they're not particularly sharp either.... So, i guess my question is, how pointy and sharp does a tip have to be to hunt with? To pierce fur covered skin?

Expert making knapping look effortless
He really is good.
Very Nice, beautiful work. thank you.
Dude I bet they did the same way that you are doing ,,, Amazing
Thank you
Always amazes me how you can take a block and turn it into a masterpiece. Beautiful point with color! Thanks Patrick.
That's very kind. Thank you!
Amazing!!! Just thought of another challenge: Produce the biggest tile point possible. I would definitely like to see that and to get ideas too😊
I might do it.
@@KnapperJackCrafty eheheh
Very nice! Great looking material and a wonderful point design.
Thanks
Wonderful work Patrick!! fully enjoyed, thanks:)
This turned out lovely! Excited to see some of those others you showed from the basket as well!
That material is beautiful ❤️. Great work. Is that stuff from GA too?
Mesmerizing! Your work is always facinating, and your patience amazing. Thank you.
You're very welcome
Thank you for the instructions
You’re welcome 😊
My internet has been down since last Saturday night storm. Glad to have it back. Nice point there.
Oh dang
Really nice stone
Back in the day this material would’ve been traded over long distances and would have been considered sacred or something.
Cuz like a lot of people in the Americas traded good stuff like agate and jasper and obsidian and some chert with a lot of silica over really really long distances like thousands of miles
Yea that sh it ppl would love that!!!
Also I love what u turned it into better than what I can make!! When I get some knappavle stone I hope I can get to at least Acheulean or Levallois level 😅
😁
Excited for this one!!! 🔥😁
Expert san. ❤
I like the "Voila"!....lol.
Thats purdy stuff. Like to get a couple slabs of that one day.
44:50 Very nice!
Thanks 😁
Abo vs modern tools, is a common talking point. I started out by hitting a rock with a rock though. Modern tool production is a subject that doesn’t include my backyard. That said some abo tools get better with use. Production of these tools is a process on both sides. I made my first copper sweatcap topped bopper today.
Nice.
The tiny flakes of jasper can be used for mosaics nice stuff.,, yes.
Oh yes
Pretty nice green rock,dont see much of that in central Texas.
Noper
You do wonderful work, where are you located?
I'm in Vermont
This is how tackling spec work becomes a spec-tacle. (I apologize. As a non-native, I shouldn’t be making bad puns.) But on a serious note, one of the most fascinating thing for me thinking about how a specific knapper in prehistory actually thought about style, originality, etc. I am almost sure some cultures allowed only making the best possible copy of their ideal style, while others may have appreciated variety, originality, and creativity.
True

Try a jolly rancher push up. 🔥
Any idea what that jasper is called? Or where it’s found? I would love to put hands on some.
It's Green Bloodstone Jasper. Usually available in slab form because it's rare. Facebook and Etsy are the first two places I'd look. When I get it, it's always from friends, rock collectors, and fellow knappers. It can be heat treated. I think temps below 350°F are recommended.
@@KnapperJackCrafty thanks for the intel!
Im in a mental pickle here, im fixated on making points as sharp as possible to pierce big game, thinking it has to be really pointy or else it won't work but i keep seeing tips that are slightly rounded, chisel tips penetrating, Otzis arrowheads weren't perfect but he used them and i presume successfully... Then i was thinking about animal canine teeth and how they're not particularly sharp either....
So, i guess my question is, how pointy and sharp does a tip have to be to hunt with? To pierce fur covered skin?
It depends on the force behind the point. It's inversely proportional. The greater the force, the less sharp it needs to be and vice versa.
would you like more dansk flint. sounds to me like you would like to knap some. :)
Sure! Send me an email to jackcrafty2@gmail.com
Spec points may require a big box of tissues 😢😅❤
Always. 😁
