Patrick, you are something to aspire to.

Post by: JackCrafty on June 07, 2013, 01:49:42 am

Thanks Guys!   :)

Tracy, that light colored glossy material is Llano river chert, heat treated.  It's mostly small nodules of river gravel.  I've got lots of different shades of that stuff.

ya know, Pat.  I miss your videos on youtube.  When will we see more?

Title: Re: Latest Chippings
Post by: JackCrafty on June 07, 2013, 10:50:23 am

My plan was to start making videos again once the flintknapping definitions "thing" was fully researched.  I may have to say heck with it and jump back in.

Yeah, definitions are pretty tough to define. >:D  seriously though, many terms have contradicting definitions.

What of the "flintknapping definitions 'thing'" ? I don't get it.

Was wonering if you would post a pic of your notching tools?  I have been working in my notching technique but I think my tools are too thick.  Was wondering what you use because yours looks awesome!

David, I will post pictures of my notching tools.  I forgot to do that today but I will soon.   :-\

And I didn't like the look of the corner tang...  I noticed in the pictures that I forgot to do the retouch.  So, here's the finished piece:

Wow your points always look razor sharp.  Do the ice picks hold their shape well?

Title: Re: Latest Chippings
Post by: JackCrafty on June 15, 2013, 02:46:52 am

Yes, the ice pics are very tough, and cheap too. :)


And I got lucky with the material on this point.  It knapped really well...  and is really sharp.

Ice pics lok, who would have thunk??  Thats pretty cool.  I had put horseshoe nails in antler but as i'm getting deeper into the notches the antler seems to be in my way.  Gonna have to try me some ice pics.  Thanks for the pics  ;D
