Very informative. These videos help me gain the confidence to address many of the common problem areas I see all the time. Around 17 minutes when you have that nodule that I run into so often, that was a great strike. It came off clean which rarely happens for me. But now I cant wait to run into it again.

I've learned SO MUCH from this guy! Thanks for the AWESOME content! Me to the ATF, I SWEAR IT'S A DIRECT PERCUSSION DEVICE, it IS NOT half of a pipe bomb... lol 😆 🤣

You always make flint knapping look so easy and simple! I watch videos and get inspired then go knapping for a few hours and turn everything to gravel lol. Your truly talented! I can’t wait till I can produce points consistently

The box of heat treated keokuk spalls I bought myself for Christmas does have a few clunky pieces. I've seen this video already but I'm watching again. This and the clunky rock video from a few years ago. And you were talking about learning knapping with hard difficult rock. That is the best description of the landscape cobbles I messed around with for the last 2 yrs. I would get one decent point for every 20 rocks I turned into smaller rocks.

You've really have embraced the steel knapping tools I see. I still haven't gotten around to trying it out yet but I definitely will. Always love your videos, keep em coming!

Very interesting tool. I've not seen steel knapping before, I will give it a try. Good video

Thanks! Man you are quick with the turn around from that comment I left. Haha. The pieces I am working with generally look like the one from 17:30 and as usual you made it look so easy. I kept running flakes over the bump or zig zag but at a bad angle I guess and It would either throw my center line off or snap in a bad spot. Thanks a ton, Patrick.

Nice video your Chanel helps so much

This helps alot, thanks!

Every time he says, "I may be able to use some of these" I cringe. I guess I'm going through my debitage pile again (and again and again)

Appears that you have a box full of really bad stone. That would be so frustrating!

Great video. Like that you are commenting. Keep them coming. Greetings from the Rio Grande Valley.

Great information, thank you.

I like your bopper. Haven’t seen one like that but it makes sense. I’m going to get one of those!

Very helpful. Thank you.

I've been trying this shit for 6 months and I can't even make one even close to looking to an arrowhead

What is the easiest Stone to work with besides obsidian I'm just starting out and I'm using Flint out of a creek I've even tried using an adze and some old by face blades I have found in the cornfield but it's extremely hard Stone. Here in Missouri we call it Merrimac Creek Rock I just moved here to Boone County and I know there's Jeff City chert here I just haven't had the chance to get out and find any yet so I'm just going to buy some rock to get me through the winter

glad to see more videos from you. keep em coming

I live in north carolina and am limited to Uwharrie Mountain Rhyolite, its pretty waxy, i learned to knap on that stuff. If anyone know anybody who would be interested in some NC Rhyolite let me know

What's exactly bulb of percussion

Can you knap a cruton next

Second not bad🤪
