So I tried tile for the second time. Steel ishi 3/8ths. 7.4 oz copper bopper. Am I supposed to cry or learn how to deal with frustration? It was real it was fun. It wasn’t real fun.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

😂

[@BladesPointsBySgp]

I’m glad you knapped that. When I threw it in the box I knew you’d get something great out of it. That really was a clean piece for sho! You just now opened that box? Lol😂

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

I think I opened the box the first day. I think I might have knapped one piece from that box before this one, but it might not have been on video. Alls I know is... I put the box in my "better knap it, you loser," stack of boxes 😂

The difference between crackly and crunchy, about a quarter inch 😂 , I think the Material you are knapping has a little but I try to watch them all ❤ Thanks for the video's

[@thebigblue20044]

super cool Patrick, I still don't know what I like more about the video, the talk or the job. People still don't know that you can zoom directly into the video and see everything like with a microscope?🤐..🤫. Greetings 👍 🦈🔱

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Exactly!

[@thebigblue20044]

@@KnapperJackCrafty I do that a lot, maybe I'm too curious, it's never too close 🤣👌 sometimes you use a very interesting tool with a spring to remove small defects, it's a moment that never ceases to surprise me and the results are great, I hope to see you use it sometime but I know it's unlikely. 👍

[@OzarkHoller]

I like some of the points you made about material different stones. I've been picking stuff up out of the Creek and I have yet to finish a point and I couldn't figure out why and I think that's why. 😢 Not to mention bad material.Tears up your tools faster as well.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Yup. You are correct. 😁

[@Tradbow85]

I've always felt like it was way easier thinning from the ends, compared to the sides.

15 to 30 second shorts of finished peices posted after the main video of the point. Link the point video in the recommended section of the short. It will help you grow more subs and lead people to your main long-form video's.

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Good idea. Except I hate shorts. 😁

[@keithbishop9936]

Have you abandoned steel for your indirect percussion work? Are you liking copper better

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

I like copper better but I haven't abandoned the steel. If you know me you'll know that I don't stick to the same thing very long.

[@vernonhess3842]

Hi Pat, Could you tell me the length of your mallet. I am going to try again to Knapp. I need to cut another mallet to length. I spent a couple hour getting tools ready and can’t find the mallet. (Super dense poly plastic like you use in this video). THANK YOU!

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

The mallet is 12" long
