Such a cool, nearly forgotten skill. Thanks, Steve (and Bo).

I’ve been learning from Bo for the past 3 years And I could not have asked for a better teacher. One of the most genuine dudes out there, definitely deserves all the praise.

Bo is the master copper bopper. One of the best modern knappers. Been watching and learning, translating it into Abo with major adjustments of course. But I will acknowledge I learned a lot from Bo.

WOW!! That was interesting. You learn something new everyday. Thanks.

I got to tell you. I have adhd. And you made perfect sense about stuff I've heard a thousand times but just didn't get.thanks

Wow !!! THAT'S INCREDIBLE, ACTUALLY FASCINATING FOR ME !!! Thank you Kind Sirs, for Demonstrating and for your Time. I Really find this Work and Artistry Fascinating and also Along with it's History. I've Never thought about this Artistry Ever Before. I am Very Grateful for Showing and Teaching me Something New in My Life Today 🙂😁👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🍻

Next time we visit the wife's family, I am going to have to check him out. Cool.

Nice work, you are very creative. I learned a lot from you. my greetings and respect to you!🌷

Absolutely wonderful ! Amazing skill right there ! Thanks for sharing man !

WOW THIS IS SO AMAZING. SO LOVED IT. SWAMPY QUEEN HUGS.

Very interesting. We don't have many people practicing primitive arrow making. Great to see someone experienced in this fine art. Thanks for sharing and God Bless.

Very cool! What a craftsman he is!

So cool!

That guy had some serious skills! Before I saw his face though... is that Paul Rudd talking?!😂

Very interesting

So cool! Thanks, Steve!

Those are some seriously wicked sharp tools he's making.

This has to be one of the hobbies i've wanted to get into the most, but i'm completely unable to, literally nobody teaches this where i live, and only on a couple of lucky occasions i've gotten to make a sharp flake of stone out of just agressively and relentlessly banging them against each other, flintknapping is just so intriguing to me

So confident!! I am still wrecking good stone over and over

Amazing!

Met many chippers myself and by and large are a good group. It's the rare one that isn't. Met Jim Redfern a few times and he's about as solid as they come.

Okay I did not know how cool that was. Now I do and thank you

I need some help, I found a Indian mound and ancient site in Graham North Carolina at a construction area. There’s a full mound there and tons of huge effigies. I learned how to see the huge effigies by looking at the small little birds that are all over the area. Looking at those birds I started to notice that they turned into bird heads and then I started to notice that they were profile pictures. I was then able to see that all the large rocks there were huge statues, the art is so old it’s hard to see by our new eyes. They’re just destroying this mound piece by piece and there’s nothing I can do about it and I’m not an archaeologist but I found a piece that would definitely get your attention.

im making a bow arrow knife skinner for my trad bow hunting set up. black and red mahogany obsidian. beautiful

That is really impressive. 👍👍 I’m glad to see that that art is still going strong. Did you end up buying one of his works?

Plink plink plink plink 4 swings 4 chips..like it's nothing

How many years would it take to get to this level?

Years ago I was watching experimental archeological knapping when they demonstrated a final strike to reveal a near finished blade from inside the stone. I belive it was demonstrating the complex planning to set up for a crucial strike. Do you have any idea what technique was called or the type of blade? Does anyone have a clue what I mean or am I speaking nonsense

You sound like paleoman52? Nice work!

Demonstrating while using a copper billet. How about a pre-Neolithic approach since most of all stone tool making was done using only organic materials. How is this considered educational? After Knapping, researching & teaching Lithic Technology for 30 years I feel it is important to explain & demonstrate the way it was done without modern tools.

The guy's still in 10 th century BC

Very interesting, how long does a flint knife generally last, and when should a person use this over a steel blade?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What size copper rod is that?

What material are those pink points made from?
