that citronelle is some amazing stuff. I wish it came in bigger pieces. Hands down my favorite rock to work. It gets such good color and becomes so slick with heat.

Great job; it would be beautiful to see mama point and her little babies. Beautiful material, at the start of this video I had no inkling of the success and results that would come from this river cobble. ❤

Your work while splitting flint is a world championship. I haven't seen this type of work before. If you believe Scientists, this is how "primitive" people built our civilization. However, the various structures rather confirm an advanced civilization. It's hard to say precisely. Congratulations and warm regards 💖👋😀.

Does it have to be flint or can it be other stones? I have a massive amount of scrap pieces of flint chert obsidian

@@bracoop2 Flint/Chert is good, Obsidian no good, to fragile. I'm sure I could shoot out of your scrap pile the rest of my life haha. 3/4x7/8 is what my rifles use. You could probably do a good business with just your scrap pile.

For just a moment there, I almost thought you were human, when I saw a few edges get crushed. Then you spent the rest of the video showing what sets you apart from the rest of us boys and wannabes!

Hello, I stumbled across your video and find it quite interesting. I am curious as to why you rub the edges down with that flat stone. What is the purpose of that?
@EDBO2310 ай бұрын
We abrade the sharp edges to prevent crushing which spoils the chip formation. Thanks for watching!

It would be much more benefiting if u would just not explain what ur trying to do and instead just do it in silence thats a much better way to learn from
