Spalling Huge Obsidian Boulders for Flintknapping - Emory Coons, Glass Buttes knap-in

[@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday]

Thanks for watching. Brad and Emory have taught me so much about flintknapping. I also got to meet Dan the caveman a few weeks ago at the knap-in. Oregon is the best place to learn primitive skills.

[@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday]

Get Well Soon Emory.

[@megaball-ps8tq]

[@hansbauermeister2088]

My god... If I had stone like that in my area I don't think I'd ever come back inside.

[@andie3799]

It went from primitive otzi the ice man stuff to mousetrap Mondays.

[@NuhashTheHash]

So strange

[@SkillCult]

Spent a lot of time up there with Emory and Cecil and a lot of other old friends. Emory is the man. First time I met him I'll be he was only 15 or 16 and already a way better flintknapper than me lol.

[@Ransomonious]

My word, I didn't realize after watching the Otzi videos that we know a lot of the same folks. I hear big bad Brad's laughter. Heard about Emory, hope he recovers well.

[@phillipiacobacci1369]

Those are some super nice looking boulders and great video of spalling.

[@victorstarr7110]

just getting started napping here Eugene . thanks for the video.

[@joshuathomsen]

Drives me nuts. When people are doing it, it makes sense and I can see the angles. When I do it, I seem to always get the angles wrong.

[@oculusangelicus8978]

Watching him knock off spalls like it was as easy as walking, one thing, but as soon as I saw the "Firebird arrowhead" he was holding up made my jaw drop open! HOW? And spear heads with hearts cut out in the middle of them??? That just blows my mind! Someone like Emory has forgotten more than we will ever know about Knapping! "We're not worthy, we're not worthy!"

[@michaelvandyke]

Emory the master of Obsidian - Thumbs up!

[@chadouellette790]

Amazing how sharp obsidian is.

You're so lucky to live in a place with obsidian. It's so expensive to buy I hate using flint. It's a pain to hear treat

JackCrafty hey if u respond to this it will prove ur man

[@bread7669]

[@andrewwilson8317]

Is there an exact reason why you choose to use a copper billet? Assuming it has something to do with hardness, malleability or density? I only ask as I have a copper headed hammer in my tools and wonder if it would be of any use? Is there any reason other than personal preference stone knappers don't use hammers?

[@bobgriffin2743]

A steel hammer is to hard and would simply crush the stone. The copper is softer and allows the energy to transfer into the stone better. I'm new to flint knapping but this is what I understand of the process. The same as using antler or wood for the fine work.

[@notpulverman9660]

Andrew Wilson copper also lets the rock bite into the hammer... rather than the other way around

[@user-oy4yb9iw9m]

the rounded head and angle and depth determine the thickness of the flake coming off. the hole that was dug was to dampen or cushen the stone and control the impact of the blow

[@FrontierLegacy]

Must have been awesome to see that in person. Did you meet him and knap with him?

[@user-oy4yb9iw9m]

nope never met the guy ;p lol

All the time I'm watching this vid there's an advertisement for Gorilla Glue just under the vid

[@flymastera5964]

Very enjoyable to watch and I've never done any knapping. How do you spot the rocks when they don't look black? Will a hatchet, axe, or splitting maul work?

[@michaelvandyke]

Believe me,when you see Obsidian in the rough,you will know what it is-it only takes one time to get to really know it...

[@jackhaynes7985]

Man this is cool

this is stinking awesome!

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Stinking? Isaiah 5: 20, Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.

[@cashdubbed]

Damn bet that billet was like 80 bucks.... Lmao.

[@user-oy4yb9iw9m]

the 9lbs one was 45.00 the 28 lbs that started at 30lbs was in a trade for a monster 30 inch blade trade to keith durfey that casted it in winachee washington

[@Teckfall15]

@cashdubbed I'm betting that billet cost more like$400 I can't find a 2"x12" copper rod for less than $80

[@romosapien9758]

you are better off getting scrap melting it down to cast and make your own

[@user-oy4yb9iw9m]

it was cast for me by keith durfey winachee washingtom ... drill into a block of wood and pour pour pour

places where there used to be lava streams, obsidian is volcanic glass

[@michaelvandyke]

Oregon and northern Cali,have tons of it!

[@bobgriffin2743]

Oregon, California, New Mexico and maybe Arizona. Oregon is probably the most popular area call glass buttes. This area is government ground and you are allowed to collect material off it.

funny how everyone hast to rip up the ground to find the bigest rock to make a tiny little arrow head or nife and back in the day natives would jest walk by and pick a peace off the top and make a masterpiece without digging a big hole.
