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.

That material though👀👀

[@carolbalcar7999]

Thanks for mentioning wrapping the in -direct rod in nonslip tape😊

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

No problem 👍

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Good job Jack some pretty rock there never seen none of that before

[@OzarkHoller]

Heat treat video!

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

I've got a few heat treat videos already done, but I can do a new one with my new setup when I get it up and running.

[@justinspencer1539]

Awesome job with bopper and rock!

[@SissyMchill1]

Omgosh you just gained a new follower/subscriber. Amazing how you take the pieces off. When I want to see inside rocks in a new rockhounding area,swinging my rock hammer from over my head downward and still not breaking the rock. I have had parts of the rock fly up and bite me in the chin, arms and other places when it dies break. And here you’re using that tool effortlessly or appears to be effortlessly. And the pieces gently resting in your hand. And chert isn’t a soft rock by any means. Awesome work. 👏🏻

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Thank you.

[@SissyMchill1]

@@KnapperJackCrafty you’re most welcome 🤗

[@clintevans3886]

Very interesting material you have there sir. I am a native Texan and have never seen that color. Im heading to a very large ranch in west texas this spring. Hopefully I'll find some good material to share with you.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Sweet. 😁👍

[@abubahu6484]

6 Degrees here now, 8 degrees warmer than this morning! Thanks for keeping us entertained on this cold evening.

[@maytagmark2171]

That is some beautiful material. That second flake off revealed a look inside like looking at the night sky through a telescope.

[@shawncocker9699]

18 right now in the CenTex area. That’s some neat lookin material 👍🏼

[@1999origamiguy]

This chert's colour reminds me of a report I saw of a woodland site up here in Ontario with the same stuff (named in the paper as Texas oxblood chert or something to that effect). Kind of insane to think about the trade routes they had back then that stuff from the southern US was making it all the way up to northern Ontario! Thought you might find that interesting. Great video as always.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Very interesting!

[@MikaelHc1]

Wow that looks awesome, what a nice gift:)

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Very true. I'm lucky

[@rattlerboi4034]

I have some bright red stuff, it's awesome

[@cliffowens3629]

Dude, sweet.

[@ChefAdoptee]

This stuff looks incredible. The quality makes it look like actual flint

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Yes

[@captainflint89]

Even English pure chalk flint , although glass like and beautiful, can be very tough to knapp without heat treating. Danish flint , whilst famous and somewhat revered is like Iron ! You guys don't know you are born with all that hornstne and dacite knocking about

[@seanarthur2001]

That’s some good material. Although by the looks of it you got to hit it pretty hard like root beer but overall effective and pretty lookin.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Yes

[@davidcurry9292]

Thanks,great video.Beautiful rock!

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Glad you enjoyed it. 😁

[@carolbalcar7999]

Its so Purdy 😁

[@andrewnicholson2339]

Yeah man. Planning flintknapping only works when it works 😂. Definitely a game of chance

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Oh yes

[@leesteinmeyer2533]

-16 degrees here again tonight in NE Ks. Wish I had twenty degrees, Pat! Ground is white with big drifts everywhere too. Only day we got out this whole week was Wed!

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Oh dang. You got hit hard

[@phillockwood8414]

Beautiful quality chert.

[@ANDunn-tf6xp]

That looks pretty easy to learn. 😁 It probably only takes 20-30 years of careful study and practice to become that good. Easy 😂

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Easy peasy. 😁

[@briantaulbee6452]

It's snowing here at the moment. Not sure about the temperature,

[@kensanity178]

Jack, i was just thinking "I want that" and you said, "No, you cant have it".

[@sergeantcraphead]

Looks kind of rare.. I like that

[@Zane-It]

At 15:30 if it didn't have the point it would be a good replica of a preform for some semi discoidal axe heads found in Australia.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Hmmm

[@duwla1913]

I want some of that

[@andrewnicholson2339]

7 degrees here no bueno

[@SissyMchill1]

Just finished the video. Outstanding. As I watched I wondered how the extra material would tumble. And you brought up tumbling. What would you do with the extra pieces you don’t have a rock tumbler. How about putting the pieces up for sale? I’m certain you have a lot of rockhounds that would buy the pieces to tumble. And it would add more money for you to buy (or whatever) your tools, or to invest in your channel. Anyways love your work. Absolutely amazing how skilled you are. 😊

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

I could gather together a lot of chunks of interesting looking material, but it would take a lot of time, since I don't work much with the exotic stuff, and would take up space.

[@kinzieconrad105]

Lots if good chert in manard

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

So I've been told...😁

[@maytagmark2171]

Its 1° here tonight NW Ohio

[@goadken]

I am curios what color you would get and how it might improve workability when heat treated. Did you try cooking up any of those flakes?

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Not yet. I'll try this week or next.

[@johnmallette3143]

if you were going to spear a moose.,.,.,what would the spear head look like.,.,?? Tkzz for sharing.,.,.,peace

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

For a moose spear, I would use a long bone point. In my opinion, stone is best for knives or warfare projectiles shot with atlatl or bow.

[@sticksstonesandalittlemeta3517]

Bigger breaker, lol, just kidding

[@samuelbradley8382]

Looks like aged beef.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Yup. It might be called "oxblood chert". One of my subscribers gave me the info.

[@samuelbradley8382]

@@KnapperJackCrafty as always you did a good job. Beautiful stone. Cold here in North Texas too.
