Working a flint cobble down to a biface, then after heat-treating, making a point. Interesting how the flint worked differently before and after heat-treating.
About 20 years ago I dug up a small piece of antler with a narrow grove running the length and a bored round cavity in the center and in the grove I never knew what it was until watching you! The tool you use for flaking that has the notch. I'm sure a blade edge laid in the grove and the bore in the center is where they pressure flaked what they were working on.
if you have a FB page or somewhere I will send it. I'm suspecting it was used for small bird points. I've been thinking of start hunting again seeing your videos made me go walking yesterday and found lots of flakes and 2 scrapers. I'm in rural north TX. Im a old man I don't do Instagram heck! I don't really do FB I just have it.
Thank you! It was December of last year when I chipped together my first somewhat pointy flake. Then I got hooked and spend most of my free time knapping. I am 24 now.
I use a turkey cooker to heat treat my flint. After I collect promising pices I put them in the the cooker at 200°F for about 12 hours, this dries out the flint that it doesn't shatter. After that I ramp up the heat to between 400° and 450° for another 8 hours. Then back down to 200 for a few hours, and then 0 letting it cool slowly overnight. (I plan to make a video on it next time I've got a good batch of flint to cook)

There is a great effort and skill on your part !!!!
Thank you! It was allot of fun as well!
Thanks for teaching us this ancient technique.
It is my pleasure! I am glad you enjoyed it.
Great bopper control, the finished point looks really nice.
Thank you!
Excellent work thinning that down!
Thank you! Getting better every time!
Stunning! Excellent work! Keep the knapping videos coming!
Will do, thank you!
This is the most clear explanation I’ve come across in terms of how to get started. That’s fantastic, keep the videos coming man!
Thnak you, will do!

That's awesome! I'm glad the video helped you figure out what it was! Do you by any chance still have the pice? I would love to see it
@@rocksnthings8689 Yes I have most everything Ive dug years ago. although most is stored away but yes that piece is in a small display on my wall.

@@dgc940 I do have a Facebook, I'll send you a name a bit later this afternoon. It's been a while since I've been on there as well.

Excellent skills and teaching.....how old were you when you started knapping ?
Thank you! It was December of last year when I chipped together my first somewhat pointy flake. Then I got hooked and spend most of my free time knapping.
I am 24 now.
I'd call that a Corner Notched Brewerton if I found it in a field...
Interesting, I think I agree with you
What do you to heat treat the rock?
I use a turkey cooker to heat treat my flint.
After I collect promising pices I put them in the the cooker at 200°F for about 12 hours, this dries out the flint that it doesn't shatter. After that I ramp up the heat to between 400° and 450° for another 8 hours. Then back down to 200 for a few hours, and then 0 letting it cool slowly overnight.

Can't see your on the shade
Is there such a thing as a flint fish hook?
There is, tho I believe they were normally made from bone.
thanks,I have several in a collection and I wonder if the are real or ma Hine made.
@@tomluther1 that's awesome! Where did you get them?
Hoped to see an actual cobble being used, not a chunk of flint that has already been knapped.
