Awesome! I can't believe how accurate and quickly you use that little hammer stone. If I tried that I would have little pieces falling all over the place and none coming from where I wanted them to...oh wait that already happens to me.

p.s. I started using indirect percussion like you do and I have really been able to get stuff thinned down much better. Great videos!

I could take that to a totally different place, Jamie but I'm going to leave it alone.   ;D

Awesome videos once again, Patrick.

What type of rock is that used in the video?
Does it need heating?

Great video, will have to watch it a few times... ;D

Thanks guys!

Hunter, that rock is raw Texas rootbeer flint/chert from the Kerville area.  You can get it on fleabay.  I think it can be heated but it gets really brittle.  I like the raw stuff anyway, so I don't have much of the heated stone.
