    I enjoy watching your work. Allowing that little cat to be below those tiny flakes that are falling on it and it looking up as you whack that chert is really bordering on abuse. How much trouble is it to just make him stay away while you are working? You seem to like him but perhaps just don't realize how you are endangering his eyes.

    Brad, can you tell me the shape of your Indirect copper flaker used to remove the flute flake? Does it have a “flat” point, or is it rounded for fluting?. I have used a “rounded tip flaker. When I strike the platform, the rounded head sees only partial removal of the platform and a partial flute flake. Is my problem the shape of my flaker tool, or have I failed to create “deep and sufficiently” long guide release flakes either side of the flute platform?

    So is convexity more important than how low or high your edge is?

    • @Bradmoore1979
      @Bradmoore1979 Месяц назад

      @@artichoke890 I would say yes. But your edge height is very important as well. I think platform or edge strength, convexity, support and swing speed are all equally important. The key is being able to recognize everything and adjust each strike on the fly. I really think that just comes with time and practice. Hope that helps.

    Very Nice Lost Lake Brad. I hope you feel better soon man. My daughter has been in the hospital all week. May get released tomorrow if her tests come back good. She couldn't sleep for the beeping of the machines so I said I've got something for you to fall asleep to. Just so happens you posted a video. She's got my other earbud in and almost asleep now and I'm not hardly halfway through the video. Thank you for being patient with me Brad. You don't know how appreciative i really am.

    Watching this a year later and Zooming In on the video picture revealed a good deal more information. I now see my mistake(s). I go too aggressively to THIN using Indirect Percussion. Then I have too thin of edges remaining and moreover, thinning really flattens the faces greatly reducing CONVEXITY.
