I clicked on those quotes and I was notified I could not access the source.  Who registered this guy?  Could his account be hacked?  Is obsidian sold 'over the counter'?

He's been a member since Nov. 2020 but these are his first posts. Like I said, if it gets weirder, let me know. I don't come here often.

Go to my "Jack Crafty" channel on youtube and do a search of my videos with keywords. If you dont know how to do that, just do a youtube search like "Jack Crafty flintknapping platforms" or "Jack Crafty flintknapping spall" or "Jack Crafty heat treating" etc., etc. I have over 800 videos.  ;D

A moderator report brought me to this thread. I was tempted to delete the weird post by the new guy but I posted a reminder about my channel instead.

Glad to see that you are progressing well, Deerhunter.

Jack, I already watch a ton of your videos and I have to say you do a good job on them! Thanks for making them as they have helped me learn a lot! I recommend your videos to anyone that is interested about knapping hahaha.

Anyway, thanks!

Sounds good. I'm glad you're asking questions and posting photos in this forum.

Which reminds me, if anyone is having trouble posting photos (which seems to be a big obstacle and a reason for not posting) you can email the photos to me at jackcrafty2@gmail.com and I'll post them for you if I can.

Thought I’d bring this back up so I don’t clutter the flintknapping page.

I just fluted my first point! Only on one side but i did it! One step closer to replicating that point that I bought!

I lost most of it because I messed up the flute 2 times I think. I’m proud of this one!

Here is the point that I’m looking to replicate. It’s an artifact cast of a Folsom point.

Some Georgetown should be coming in tomorrow so I should be posting a lot in the next 2 weeks!

I do have a question about selling points

1. Where do If I’m interested in selling some nice points?
2. How do you guys determine the value of your points?
