I just gotta know one thing.........what is an allergic hobbit?

AND...Now you're just showing off!

Seriously though, very impressive. Really makes me rethink each piece that goes to the debitage pile! I've rescued a lot of pieces since watching your videos. Thanks again!

Jamie, that's too funny!  Seriously, glad you enjoyed that.  I was really missing the copper that day but I managed to quit cold turkey.  For a while anyway...  ;D

Justin, don't ask me.  That was the name I chose years ago when blogging was first becoming popular.  I had a humor-based blog and I guess I thought the name was funny.  Anyway, I used it for my youtube account because I couldn't think of anything else.

Another great series!  Thank you so much for putting them up.  I'm a very visual learner, so videos like these really help me a lot.

Maddog, I put a little more pressure on the point with antler than with stone, copper, or steel.  Antler is a little "spongy" and requires a bit more pressure to release a flake.  The pressure is about the same as the pressure needed to break the tip of a sharpened pencil.  You've got to be VERY careful with the tip.  It took a couple months for me to learn to sharpen the tips without snapping them off.

In one video, I show a fire-hardened antler pressure flaker.  Fire hardening eliminates the "spongyness" but makes it weaker and more brittle.  I don't like using fire-hardened antler very much.  It's useful only for tips, IMO.

You're welcome Jonathan!
