I was happy that instead of a meaningless famous youtuber collaboration you brought in an individual with extensive experience with the subject matter. That goes a long way.

[@jacksoneaston1093]

Hey, I got you to 200 likes (I'm not bragging) just mentioning it

[@tikkidaddy]

I wouldn't consider PaleoJim or even Dave Cantebury a meaningless YT collab for this. Jim is a MASTER flint knapper.

That was funny

[@shroomyruki2961]

BUT DID THEY??

[@doubledarefan]

You forgot to mention the most obvious candidate: Window glass. When you see a broken window, pick up some shards (Don't get cut!). The owner now has less glass to clean up, and you now have some arrowhead fodder.

[@traporatrick7795]

Most windows are tempered so this wouldn't work since, if you were to try to pick at it, it would shatter into a million pieces :P

[@doubledarefan]

Which would be obvious if the window is broken. If you find an unbroken piece of window glass, most tempered glass will have a mark in the corner that says tempered (along with manufacturer info).

[@tikkidaddy]

You can also use suitable fragments of toilets...sink...appliance ceramic.

Sorry for the late comment/reply I was thinking of something for you to show us how to make, so can you show us how to make a DIY scuba tank with home items

[@CoffeeFiend1]

A pressure flaker is a tool though. The fact paleolithic man didn't use nails is irrelevant. A stainless steel axe doesn't magically get called something else just because it's no longer made of stone.

[@stacyroach486]

You should make a bow with grants plastic bottle string and make arrows with the glass arrowheads so it could be the bottle bow

I flintknapp myself and its such a cool hobby. I knap arrowheads more for show and to make necklaces with. I mostly use glass. Obsidian is the best and easiest to work. This guy knows what hes doing and I would recommend following his directions if you are interested in getting into flintknapping.

[@InvestingHustler]

Can u do a video on how to make a bottle from a arrowhead 🤔🤔

[@mcov6841]

That would be a impossible thing to do unless you could reverse time.

[@Unknown-hd8tr]

M Cov or create a microscopic sized bottle

[@mcov6841]

exotic gamer 360 yeah, I was thinking that but, it would be hard to give the arrowhead the bottle shape.

[@sketchingtophat9661]

M Cov, it’s possible. You could melt the glass arrowhead and put the molten glass in a bottle mold.

[@trymatic7151]

You can't cast glass, you need to blow it

[@wupme]

No it didn't say removed. It said "Not made available"

[@donalddolenc485]

when I was 11 I found an arrowhead in a creek near my house in Oregon. I brought it to an archeologist, who dated it to an estimated 11,000 years old. I was given permission to keep it, so I still have it today, 5 years later. its made of basalt from an unknown source.

[@frankescalante6631]

Donald Dolenc did they tell you the worth

[@gtxhunter1720]

arrowheads aren't worth anything though they might be very old.

[@sus4644]

Donald Dolenc r/thathappened

[@greenthizzle4]

GTXhunter it's worth something to native American collectors

[@allatv82]

There is a market for artifacts, if it was 11,000 years old I'm guessing Paleo culture, The Rutz Clovis last sold in 2013 for $276,000! And it was made of obsidian.

[@han-duo7539]

I've done this before! It's so cool when you finish one. I use to go down to the creek and find old beer bottles and clean them, break the bottoms out the same way but with a nail, and then I even had the nail pressure flaker made until I bought a real one. Its really fun

[@elijahtheurer344]

You should grind steel in a vacuum. Use a ball mill inside a vacuum to grind the iron into a powder, then after a few days, decrease the pressure. (I believe with so much surface area, the iron, left unoxidized, will spontaneously combust when in contact with air) the vacuum is used to delay the oxidation until all steel is ground. Note: use high-carbon steel, as it is harder and more likely to become powder

[@old-moose]

Great memories! As an anthropology grad student, I demonstrated pressure flaking obsidian to make tool to undergraduate students. . . . . 50 years ago!

Your art is incredible, a shame that it broke but I am reminding of the (Japanese maybe) heritage of taking broken pottery and inlaying gold in the cracks. There is still beauty in the broken and the healed.

TKOR has many different methods to do things! Such a *variety I mean randomness* of materials and interesting things to do! :D

[@strayartist6825]

IF you still have the electric arc furnace you should try to melt rocks into lava then cast the molten lava into molds. LIKE IF YOU AGREE AND WANT TO SEE THAT!!!!!:)

[@iisdogewow9827]

Paw Print Productions🐾🐾 I don’t think that it would get hot enough.

[@iisdogewow9827]

Unless you somehow got lava.

[@iisdogewow9827]

Which you couldn’t

[@ThatOneAnnoyingPubPlayer]

Just saying, if you can get something hot enough to melt rock, I don't think any kind of mold would withstand the heat.

[@judecrooker6618]

Guys he melted pebbles in his arc furnace and the electrified plasma can reach temperatures of up to 20,000F, which is more than enough to melt rock.

Ocean Li, sea glass is just trash glass that for worn down by sand

You can’t make authentic sea glass... you have to go find it on the beach.

[@sidetrack7125]

Yeah sea glass is just bottle glass or other glass that’s been ground down by the waves

SideTrack you can make it with a rock tumble, it will look frosted but it wont be authentic.

Can you make a knife from rock, like the Aztecs did. I think it's made of rock.

[@kittenbeardthepiratecat]

Well, technically it was flint. But yes, he could.

[@xCrimsonJoker57x]

Kittensrock 978 I think it was obsidian actually because that area is infamous for obsidian and they were well known for their obsidian tools

[@IH8names123]

Both of you are right

[@therustedshank9995]

Usually they used flint for knifes and obsidian for their club-sword things.

[@andyaria7100]

It wasn’t really a knife more like a sword or club and it was called a maquahuitl and was made usually from oak and had obsidian or flint sticking from the sides. It’s called obsidian stone sometimes but it’s more like a glass and it can get to a molecule thin making it extremely sharp. But it might not be what your talking about.
