- This video was quite popular, so here's a short version for my new subs.
It was quite an honor to meet Bo Earls! A true craftsman and a heck of a nice guy. Bo has been flint knapping for years and has perfected this primitive art. You can get a Bo Earls original for yourself here: www.etsy.com/s...
I’ve been learning from Bo for the past 3 years And I could not have asked for a better teacher. One of the most genuine dudes out there, definitely deserves all the praise.
That's awesome! Yes, bo seems like a great guy!
Such a cool, nearly forgotten skill. Thanks, Steve (and Bo).
Thank you for watching!
Bo is the master copper bopper. One of the best modern knappers. Been watching and learning, translating it into Abo with major adjustments of course. But I will acknowledge I learned a lot from Bo.
Thank you for watching!
WOW!! That was interesting. You learn something new everyday. Thanks.
Thank you for watching, glad it was helpful!
I got to tell you. I have adhd. And you made perfect sense about stuff I've heard a thousand times but just didn't get.thanks
I'm glad you're finding my content useful James. Thanks!
Next time we visit the wife's family, I am going to have to check him out. Cool.
Thank you for watching!
Wow !!! THAT'S INCREDIBLE, ACTUALLY FASCINATING FOR ME !!! Thank you Kind Sirs, for Demonstrating and for your Time. I Really find this Work and Artistry Fascinating and also Along with it's History.
I've Never thought about this Artistry Ever Before. I am Very Grateful for Showing and Teaching me Something New in My Life Today 🙂😁👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🍻
Thank you for watching, he really is talented!
Very interesting
Very cool! What a craftsman he is!
Yes he really is!!
Very interesting. We don't have many people practicing primitive arrow making. Great to see someone experienced in this fine art. Thanks for sharing and God Bless.
Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate that and God bless you as well.
Nice work, you are very creative.
I learned a lot from you.
my greetings and respect to you!🌷
Thank you so much for watching!
Those are some seriously wicked sharp tools he's making.
Yes they are, amazing craftsmanship.
Absolutely wonderful ! Amazing skill right there ! Thanks for sharing man !
You bet, thank you for watching!
So confident!! I am still wrecking good stone over and over
Thank you for watching!
This has to be one of the hobbies i've wanted to get into the most, but i'm completely unable to, literally nobody teaches this where i live, and only on a couple of lucky occasions i've gotten to make a sharp flake of stone out of just agressively and relentlessly banging them against each other, flintknapping is just so intriguing to me
So cool!
WOW THIS IS SO AMAZING. SO LOVED IT. SWAMPY QUEEN HUGS.
Thank you Cathy, so glad you enjoyed it.
So cool! Thanks, Steve!
You bet, thanks for watching!
That guy had some serious skills! Before I saw his face though... is that Paul Rudd talking?!😂
Met many chippers myself and by and large are a good group. It's the rare one that isn't. Met Jim Redfern a few times and he's about as solid as they come.
That's awesome!! I would have to agree with you there.
Okay I did not know how cool that was. Now I do and thank you
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it.
I need some help, I found a Indian mound and ancient site in Graham North Carolina at a construction area. There’s a full mound there and tons of huge effigies. I learned how to see the huge effigies by looking at the small little birds that are all over the area. Looking at those birds I started to notice that they turned into bird heads and then I started to notice that they were profile pictures. I was then able to see that all the large rocks there were huge statues, the art is so old it’s hard to see by our new eyes. They’re just destroying this mound piece by piece and there’s nothing I can do about it and I’m not an archaeologist but I found a piece that would definitely get your attention.
What are you on,
im making a bow arrow knife skinner for my trad bow hunting set up. black and red mahogany obsidian. beautiful
Sounds like it'll be an amazing knife!! 😁
Amazing!
Thanks so much Martin!
Plink plink plink plink 4 swings 4 chips..like it's nothing
Years ago I was watching experimental archeological knapping when they demonstrated a final strike to reveal a near finished blade from inside the stone. I belive it was demonstrating the complex planning to set up for a crucial strike. Do you have any idea what technique was called or the type of blade? Does anyone have a clue what I mean or am I speaking nonsense
Not sure exactly on that one. 🤔
How many years would it take to get to this level?
10+ I’d say for most people
The guy's still in 10 th century BC
Demonstrating while using a copper billet. How about a pre-Neolithic approach since most of all stone tool making was done using only organic materials. How is this considered educational? After Knapping, researching & teaching Lithic Technology for 30 years I feel it is important to explain & demonstrate the way it was done without modern tools.
You sound like paleoman52? Nice work!
Thank you for watching!
That is really impressive. 👍👍 I’m glad to see that that art is still going strong. Did you end up buying one of his works?
No not yet, still deciding on which one I want. I am hoping to get one for Christmas.
Very interesting, how long does a flint knife generally last, and when should a person use this over a steel blade?
Flint Knifes get smaller and smaller with use so most people use them as a novelty. They use a steel knife for more practical reasons. Most people seem to buy those knives and put them on a shelf to enjoy the craftsmanship above all I think.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What material are those pink points made from?
You would need to try to get a hold of Bo earls for that question.
Damn I was hoping you or someone would know. I have a chunk of pink gassy rock looks like obsidian does with different shades of bands going thru it. I’ve never been able to find out what kind of stone it is exactly and those pink points on display in your vid are the same color as the stone I have. I’ve wondered if it was natural or not and if it is natural how rare it might be.
What size copper rod is that?
I don't know
