The view from the second camera wasn't very good, so I will film another blue glass arrowhead with a good second camera view.

 ;D

So, here are the next two vids:

When I first noticed how long the video was, I thought it would be one of those "real time" jobs where most of the time is spent by the videographer adjusting the camera and futzing around off camera until I lost interest.  So when at first the camera was being adjusted I almost tuned out.  Luckily I stuck with it another few seconds....and watched through to the end.  I like how the point just smoothly comes out of the bottle bottom in a matter of minutes.

Very interesting, very crafty.  My resistance to learning knapping is at an all time low.  There is a little devil that looks like BevanR on my left shoulder gigging me with a pitchfork telling me I need another hobby!

Yes, come to the darkside, we  have stone! lol

it's fun.  This video was partial due to my request for it.  As well as the second one because I am having a hard time not hitting my fingers when I attempt his style.
