Between this video and the first Clovis video, I think I've made about 50 Clovis and similar paleo type points, not including brokes.

The quality of your videos is alway amazing. Do you have that mounted solid or on your head. It seems like the camera is following your hands at times but this could be becacuse i cant see the floor. Great work big fan!

John, I have the camera mounted on a boom-type microphone stand.  I'm getting into the "high tech stuff"  (kidding).  I used to have it mounted on a broomstick. ;D

Thanks for the kind words!  Glad you liked the video!
