Pretty material

Nice blade, Jake! It would be really cool to see you do a gemmy E notch Thebes sometime

On to part 3, beautiful work. Love your points.

Like some others said already- coming along nicely! No worries at all in not rushing it, my friend.

Love seeing how people recover from inevitable breakage. Cool piece so far; can't wait to see the rest.

Cool colors . Top rung work. Thank you

Thank you. The master of suspense! 👍🏻

Very nice work. Thanks for the video.

That was awesome

Where are you getting these big pieces of flint all I can find anywhere is spalls or bi faces

I love watching a skilled knapper working good material!

Nothing wild? That is so badass!!!!!

i LOVE his material.

Looks like it's coming right along, Jake! You got that turtleback of cortex and random unneeded material off pretty quickly too. That worked out pretty well and seemed to go quickly for you.

its so depressing running into problems when they start out so perfect

that looks like a clownfish

Beautiful start for a great point. Looks like excellent material to work with. I'm looking forward to part 2.

Coral really is a great material. Even the lower grade rougher stuff I've worked flakes better than some of the charts I've had.

Nice! That's gonna be very cool!

Very pretty

Thanks for the video.

Never knapped coral. Hopefully can find some this year. Looks like this one will turn out great!

Cant wait to see what that is gonna be. But l bet it will be nice!

Very informative. Thanks for the master class.

Nice work buddy ! Texas gulf coast ?

Good job with this, Jake! I like the coloring in this too. 👍

Dang! That's a huge piece. I get nervous just looking at it. You're braver than I am. 👍

The stem on those is so odd to me. Why did they choose that base style, what was the advantage the saw?

That guy Danny Collins puts bees wax on his points at the end and it really shines up the rock and also as a side product hides hinges

Love the boggy point. Let’s see a “DANISH DAGER” any type!

I love it when you get into your opinions on points and point types. I tend to agree with what you’re saying.

Beautiful

You should make a flint sword type it in on Google it's like a macuahuitl but more sword like

Pretty peice of flint

😂 But ugly Quartz Just guessing. You like that because it's cheap. Certainly not because it's pretty.😂

This is the first time I've seen you break something at all in the 3 years I've been watching you. The ratio of breakage is what I use to break down proficiency, kind of to tell myself whether I'm doing good in the craft or not. If you can make several without breaking a single one, that's when you know fs that you're good at it. I always tell myself that if you can pump out 20 before breaking one, than your getting close to becoming a master. Anyone reading this, don't take my word too personally, as I do it to get myself to strive for the highest of the high in craftmanship. Just cause one can't pump out that many without breakage doesn't mean you haven't mastered it, as masters still break things quite often. 🫡

That piece had a lot going on structually and I`m sure you saw it. Nonetheless you can make two pretty good points now. Did you mention if the rock was heat treated or not? It seemed to be un-treated or wouldnt have been as brittle? You could treat the pieces you have to help finish them off?

Yeah. A bummer, but not much you can do about it after the fact. I'm glad to see you show a good example of having something go wrong, and not letting it totally get you down. More people need that nowadays, especially kids. Experiencing failure is good because then when you experience success, it's so much better.

For a Stone that is so plain Jane. It offers Up A myriada of headaches. There is so much awesome large Brazilian Agate. pieces Out there, give it a shot.

There's a saying, "If you ain't breaking 'em, you ain't making 'em."

Don't feel too bad. Some original points made thousands of years ago come with hinges. Even the old ones of years past had this problem. It's still a masterpiece. 2 points now to do, great job no matter how you Knapp it.

35:04 OOF

Did you notice how the tone of your strikes kept getting lower each time larger flakes came off?

Let me know if you want to try moose antler on that stuff. I’ve got a few I collected in AK a few years ago

Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video.

Please, I'd like to purchase some of that

Would you share his information

Lol I'm American Indian/ Native American/ whatever the government or whoever is labeling at a given time. Myself I do knap and I believe that you are a lot more precise than I am keep it up.

There’s that saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” If the tools you are using work for you, then keep using them. Tools probably work differently for everyone depending of their skill level and technique.
