When i was a kid down in central Texas, i found a few bifaces while hunting for arrowheads. At the time i remember thinking "This indian wasnt too good at making arrowheads, its too big and bulky, too heavy. Never gonna work on an arrow." Of course i didnt even know the word biface, or anything about flintknapping. I only recently discovered heating up the biface to make it knapp better. There's a lot to learn if you want to make arrowheads.
You are one of the best I've ever watched on here. I enjoy when you talk and explain your method. Thanks for all the help you have showed. Im new to napping and its way harder than I thought it would be lol
napping is a problem for many people, most of us are trained not nap from at least elementary school, so getting back into it can be a challenge. Pro tip: try to learn from your kids, if they are still young enough.
Jack, dont even think about these guys telling you you arent doing it right. From what I've seen, everyone does it different. Your way sure looks more refined and correct to me. Talking or not, you are the man.
@@KnapperJackCrafty I was thinking back to one of your other videos where you did not say a word the next video you go into character of hey dude why are you not talking so this one I thought I would beat you to it did I make a metaphysics decision
Patrick, im sure you know when you are supposed to be watching someone and they are being as quite as you have been for this long that mischief is afoot
I have a 2 by 5 inch aluminum billet if you would want it. Free. If you think it would be big enough. I bought it because of you but its too big for me. I herd you wanted a larger one.
Always 6061 aluminum. And I use 2 rods. One is 1/2" and the other is 5/8" diameter. I also use two aluminum billets. Both are 6061 aluminum. One is 1-1/8" and the other 1-1/2" diameter.
@@KnapperJackCrafty Thanks. I just bought a solid copper rod. It makes big flakes, but a bit scary. Its 1-1/2" round and 4" long. Im goind to round one end and just bevels the 90 degree end a little.
Nope we need the ole crafty chat going. Witty sense of humor gets a nice lil chuckle here every time. If they want silence then turn the video off. Sounds simple to me.
Ugly rock. I found bouncing a large hammer on a big lump of chert released a talent in my hand judgement to create a clean fracture across a large face without cracks or crushing. As you did 9.50 into 2 hr video.

19:19 Amazing flake
It’s triangular and can be used as a tool all on its own

Man I seen the break on the preform before you hit it. I would have done the same thing. Easy to see when its not you hitting the stone.
True
I saw you hit that hammer with a rock. 😝

Thank you

Jack crafty is not only an artist. He is a prolific artist. That's important.

Some people like my voice. Some people hear my voice and experience fingernails dragging accross a chalkboard.

Mighty hard and tough rock.
Oh yes
I challenge you to Knap a Christmas tree/pine tree 🌲 shaped point for Christmas. 😎🏹🎅
Alrighty

I think I need a larger one but I appreciate the offer!
Does heating then cooling the chert help it to flake better ?
Yes, sometimes. Results vary.
Jack, how thick is your aluminum rod and what type is it?
Always 6061 aluminum. And I use 2 rods. One is 1/2" and the other is 5/8" diameter. I also use two aluminum billets. Both are 6061 aluminum. One is 1-1/8" and the other 1-1/2" diameter.

@@sonoman00ify sounds good
dang, as if it were nothing!
It's crazy, call it sad or whatever but you still have a lot to learn.
Don't we all
Learning is only perfect practice

I totally agree. Half of the reason I watch Jack is for the philosophy. And I do turn the sound off, I read the captions. Best of both worlds.
I meant no disrespect by the way. I actually saw you hitting the zone!
