What type of hammer stone r u using.

Champ! I hope you are well….miss your teaching…pray you are still chipping….be great brother!!!!

Could I show you some field finds to gather your thoughts and opinions on em?

I don't understand the difference in results between the stone and the wood. What am I missing?

Nice blade I wished I could nap that good that is an awesome knife

I've learned more from your videos than I have from anyone else online, and it's not even close. I hope all is well, and that you decide to start making videos again.

Hope to see some new vids soon!

Are you from oregon!?

that's awesome

I learned allot on that video

This vid was uploaded 17 years ago. Just imagine the blades this guy is making now in 2024

Do you think you can make a video with the steps that you take in knapping? I hear words like turning in an edge and trimming and stuff but idk what that is and when I knap I just feel rudderless cuz I hit the rocks and I abrade correctly I think but my finished projects are just gravel

Nice

How much rupees you can give me

I have obsidian rock I want to sale seriously

Do you sell any of your work?

Missing your videos. Hope you do more.

@Flintknappingtips Hey hope you're still kicking. Miss watching videos.

I have made every conceivable tool from antler stone and copper and all I do is make bigger rocks into pebbles. Hinges steps breaks I’m so tired of flintknapping now. It’s just discouraging.

That squirrel call tho, lol!! That’s pretty dang good. Can you teach me how to do that 😂 Great videos, you are a natural teacher. Very helpful for me I’m less than a year in and rely on the internet for knowledge.

Man I wish you would do hours long Q&A videos because you have so much to teach. I love your traditional style because I have tons of antler and bone but I always see copper being used on KZbin.

Damn dude I thought you were pretty young but then saw that you have videos on here that are 17 years old! Crazy.

Dude thank you this helps a lot!

Is there a video that you can show us all of your antler tools and explain quickly what each one is for?

Can I ask you where you’re selling these points at? I’d love to buy some.

Damn! What a beautiful collection of aboriginal tools. I’m so jealous.

Unfortunately surface level sources of chert and flint are often riddled with issues like freeze cracks and irregularities, the good stuff is underground or dug up.

So fascinating 👍. Love this stuff

That first stone was so much like what I find locally, seems like similar material and freeze cracked on the outside. I appreciate seeing you doing such similar things to what I do to reduce what’s there so I don’t carry junk rock home. I’m new to this, so I am getting a lot out of this video, thank you.

Nothing simple about this at all but if you spend a minimum of ten years of your life chipping off enough slivers to fill a large bathtub you may finally understand what your doing and actually get something that resembles an arrow head. Good luck.

Did you see the animal face. ???? 23:33.

Do you know how to get Summerville agate I always wanted to try some?

I keep looking for new content. Missing your stuff Marty

For the knappers like myself who are relearning or are new and needing some good material to help, you did a great job on this video, Marty. You really took extra time explaining what you were doing or not doing 😮and why. Ive recently started knapping again with the warmer weather here in KY. I Knapp outside and its just been too cold for me to get out. Having to relearn some things.. mostly basic stuff..proper edge work, being patient and tell myself to slow the hell down. Lol. Thanks for putting out all these awesome vids and for sharing your knowledge and being unselfish with it.. answering questions.. your a good teacher man. You may be taking a break from the YT thing, but hang in there and give us some new stuff when ya feel up to it or have the time.

You make it look easy, Marty. Was practicing my hammer stone on some Keokuk just this afternoon. Having trouble with step fractures. Any suggestions. Wrong angles?

Marty, thank you for the videos and advice. Your knowledge is literally gold to a new flintknapper like me. Very much appreciated.

Would the antler punch you are using work to flute a point?

Holy cow what stone was that?

If only someone sold brown rootbeer flint. We have limestone and granite and quartzite that looks like sugar stone

you make it look so easy. love watching you work

Wow.., I just advanced my formerly very limited percussion knowledge by decades simply by watching this video! Just wow! Thank you, and keep up the incredible work in these videos!

Love the camera angle! Thanks for the show! Ben

Dang buddy that is paper chip thin. Hopefully one day I can be that good. Appreciate all the tips I've got from you over this year of my knapping.

I just found 2 similar at a pay dig site while im stationed here in Texas. I thought they were just long triangular flakes that were unfinished. I didn't know how to knap them flat into an arrowhead. What is some of the techniques to flatten out a triangular flake where one side is flat and the other a high pyramid shape? Any videos showing that?

Where do you put the other end of the punch? Under other leg Or on ground held by opposite foot How long is the wooden part
