flintknapping a spearhead part 1 breaking rock

[@BigWillSD]

I have not watched napping videos in quite a while but this is the best explanation tutorial I remember ever watching. Great video

[@johnmartin6140]

You are a great knapper and better teacher than most......Thanks for doing these videos for us.

[@American-Plague]

This is the most easily understood tutorial video on flintknapping I've ever seen.

[@lazyhanger6027]

Thank you for making these videos I'm still a beginner and I find that a lot of the guys that know what they're doing tend to forget what it's like To be a beginner. The also tend to sit so far from the camera that it's hard to get a good view of what they're doing. Again thank you and keep up the good work

[@PedrUPedraSOssidiana]

Beautiful tutorial! I have to define the chipping technique, your tutorials help me a lot. Thanks

[@jasonfryer7002]

Omg..he spat tobacco juice in that bucket .on camera‼️..I subbed!!!

[@Edgunsuk]

[@bagherhabibi]

You're the best instructor. Thank you

[@niceguyslol3667]

Very good video, loads of explaining. Much apresiated 👍

[@MyBiologicalInsanity]

You have a lot of knowledge about flintknapping, and I can see you enjoy it and do it not only for your subscribers, but also for yourself. I have a suggestion for you, you could section of an area somewhere just for filming. You would have a stack of plastic drawers labelled specifically for flintknapping, and a cloth for striking with the bopper. But it is your channel, so keep doing what you do best! :D

Yo I actually like watching these I will fall asleep some times while watching but I keep sleeping

[@backwoodsboys9673]

that's a beautiful stone

[@fuzzlenuff]

Excellent instruction.

[@timhaley101]

to remove the ( belly ) lower your platform down a bit before trying to remove a flake

[@hellochunn]

timothy haley oh Timmy,trying to tell the teacher what to do...

[@philliplindbergh8938]

I agree platform was to high to remove the buld

[@American-Plague]

@@hellochunn Timothy is correct actually.

[@railroaderreddoor76]

Awesome instruction! Thanks. 👍

[@ColbyBlack]

How do you start from the an original round rock. Having difficult to get to where you are starting here

[@garrettmartin7712]

I am going to try this!

[@francismarcoux8944]

For glass and dacite a bopper isvtoo hard. Use bone, antler. Or even hard wood bopper.

[@jostrong6787]

How may I get intouch with you about obtaining some of your spear points as well as arrowheads?

[@cretudavid8622]

where do i find a flint stone

[@davejones5182]

good stuff

[@jaxonrotert510]

i used to wach this before i started

[@jaxonrotert510]

even all the parts like part 2 and 3

[@roverman985]

Are you heat treating this stone before you Knapp on it?

[@LS-VR]

What kind of rock do you get on Neolithics? Is it raw rock or spalls

[@ianspaintpot]

the best flint napper is in the uk phil harding he is the world best expert on flint tooling

[@francismarcoux8944]

Much of what you do remains thick. An antler will make it thinner

[@tonymicheletti1391]

how much does it cost to order a piece of obsidian or flint?

[@philliplindbergh8938]

Go to kentuckyflintworks.com Flintknappingtools.com Neolithics

[@peterwaksman9179]

Thought you would do the real thing. Try starting with a 8 inch diameter, round, quartz cobble.

[@bobgriffin2743]

You need to work on getting your platforms below the center line of the core. If you get the platform lower you will take off a larger flake when trying to remove bumps like the fat you are referring to.

[@timmyturnup2294]

broo it is so fucing interesting! i tried it a few times but it did not work out well... but damn i wanna do this

[@randallbraun844]

Prepare to break alot of rock lol

What Flint knapping supply store do you use?

Neolithics is the only one ever found .... and never looked further. Takes awhile , sometimes , but his disclaimer mentions this. One man band I think.

What did he spit it was brown

[@gregpryorhomestead]

Tobacco juice, my man

[@therustedshank9995]

What kind of hamer does he have

[@philliplindbergh8938]

Lead filled copper bopper

[@MyBiologicalInsanity]

It is called a 'Copper Headed Bopper specifically used for flint-knapping and they can be bought off of eBay. BTWs It is not called a hammer.

[@off-gridhillbillystyle3735]

If you need more Flint I could send you a bunch

[@diggestbik3238]

Send me some

[@tedneville3065]

Can I have some

[@peterinbrat]

Do not confuse primative with simple.

[@therealbraddawson1045]

Could someone on here that has access to the type of rock needed for making arrowheads mail me a rock or pc of rock? I really want to get into this and teach my son.

[@LeatherSoup-c5j]

There are several kinds of rock. You'll have to spend a little but goknapping.com is a good source for rock and the necessary tools. I highly recommend the book Art of Flintknapping by D.C. Waldorf. Goknapping.com has the book for roughly 20 bucks.

[@American-Plague]

Glass also works. Plain old glass. Old TV screens or computer monitors have thick glass (although they are becoming harder and harder to find as time goes on)...even beer bottles can be knapped. (You cannot use safety glass like what's in car windows) YT search "knapping bottle glass". You don't want to spend half a fortune on the best natural rock just to turn it into trash while you learn. Practice on what's free first. (That's my financial advice anyway) I will say that it "feels" to me that natural obsidian actually knaps better than manmade glass but, had I not practiced on glass first, I'd of just blown through $50 of obsidian per day at first...although everyone has their own learning curve....

Yeah, i think he's spitting to get rid of juice from chewing tobacco maybe

[@tylerparker3024]

Youre not setting up your edges well enough to get big flakes

[@robertdelamare4129]

My. Wife and I want to get out off California this state sucks we want to find a place to live

[@jerryfrost8136]

Sped up video and loud music, why don't you just skip parts that YOU don't feel are informative.

[@runingblackbear]

Your doing it wrong
