20-Minute Challenge! Flint-Knapping a Chert Boulder Start to Finish!

[@luisgarces3525]

Hey buddy thats some impressive work considering the time crunch especially. And more so that it's raw material. Great work. And thanks for the shout out.

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

Appreciate you buddy, was a fun challenge.

I use to go up to Ga.and get a couple 5 gallon buckets of flint I think it is some of the best. Haven’t been up there for a while flint knapping is a great hobbie

[@sonoman00ify]

Yeah its crazy I hinted arrowheads my whole life. I never knew how they were made. I assumed they were carved somehow. Then I learned how to Knapp. Crazy.

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

I always thought the same thing😂

First 18:00 was exemplary copper direct percussion work. Best I’ve seen on KZbin at pace. I’d like to see your antler work w some practice you’d be deadly. Nice job:)

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

Thanks man! I gave my antler billets away to a friend, I’ll have to order more. Really appreciate that!

[@sonoman00ify]

I liked the 2 minute warning siren in background!

[@luuk-out-below9804]

Wow, you make it look so easy, good job!

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

Practice makes perfect!

There are sharks 🦈 in lake Martin! I caught one last Tuesday!

[@beaverwrassler5773]

I'd like to get some of that flint river. It's been years since I've worked big pieces of it

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

Look up Jeff Head on Facebook and shoot him a message

[@neanderthalnonsense]

Shoooooweeee well done. Super fast.

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

Haha thank you!

[@jackwilliamson1929]

Impressive

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

Thank you!

[@bowens8903]

I've been pretty busy lately. Watching this video, it is pretty fast, but it's all good. Gonna have to catch-up here with some past videos. Haven’t been getting my fix of Jake "Ross," the easy-going flint knapper. The guy that talks to his stones and rocks like Bob Ross always did with his canvases. 😅

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

I love that!😂 I might have to go by Jake Ross from now on!

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

Hope you’re doing well

[@dooleyfussle8634]

I was on Dauphin Island and found huge boulders of black chert being used as a seawall. It had an oily smell when you knapped it. There were literally tons of it. Any idea were it's from?

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

Interesting. Could be local or could be from further south

[@wildfloridaflintknapping]

Nice!!!

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

Thanks man!

[@kylemartin6246]

Hey ! Love your videos. What does it take to get a box of that coastal chert? Love to try new materials.

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

Shoot me a message on Facebook! My name is Jake Anderson. You can find me in most flintknapping groups

[@jayequintana]

You started at 6 1/4 and ended at 6 1/4. Nice.

[@417knapping]

I'm the same. I knap but I don't record. I can't listen and not watch lol might learn something to adapt my own techniques

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

Exactly!

[@JerseyJimFish]

Napping sounds relax me enough to sleep also. Odd, yes, but I'm not the only one, I guess.

[@aquarius5264]

maybe you should try putting a handle on one of these knives sometime

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

I’ll definitely try that!

[@gsnicholas8522]

I’m looking for some of the materials that I’ve seen you working. Could you point me in the right direction to get some? Who should I contact and how do I reach them?

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

Shoot me and email! My email is [e-mail]

[@chucklearnslithics3751]

It's not the ting ting ting at the Jack Crafty channel that puts me to sleep... 😂 I guess I should be careful being snarkastic about a knapper on a different channel. I've gotten myself in trouble doing that before... 😁

[@GulfCoastKnapping]

Haha! Well I was actually referencing a buddy of mine who lives down the road from me! He recently stumbled across my channel and said he fell asleep to the ting ting ting😂 But I do remember your comment!

[@briantaulbee6452]

​@@GulfCoastKnappingwhen a big flake releases, there is that distinctive snap. If you're holding your hand just right, you can feel the sting 😅.
