My Flintknapping On Youtube
« on: March 06, 2011, 01:01:54 pm »
Hope this is OK... here is a link to my youtube channel.  I just posted some flintknapping videos on my flintknapping technique.

If that doesn't work, you can do a search on youtube for "allergichobbit" and you'll see the vid's.   ;D

Crafty, I have long admired your skills as a bowyer, knapper, and general primitive ways expert.  Now, I have to add videographer to your list of enviable skills.  Great video!! Thanks for taking the time to make such an informative work for us less talented.  Thanks again.

Thanks Xin!  I don't think the videos are all that great but thank you... and I'm very glad they are informative.   :)

Mike, my hands always get like that in the winter.  And I've been outside knapping a lot lately.  I need to try that gloves+lotion treatment.

Thanks Bubby.  Let me know how it goes!

Very interesting!  I've never seen indirect percussion done that way, but I like it.  It seems much quicker and more ergonomic than most other ways.  I'll be giving it a try.     I love that 720 video option.  I can actually see what you're doing.

Patrick;

That is a cool, unique way of indirect flaking. I'm gonna try it. Nice video's too.

Thanks for the input guys!  Glad you like the vids.  It means a lot to me coming from you guys.

I've been looking at the vids and the sound level is low in comparison to other yoube videos.  Are any of you having a hard time hearing me?
