PATRICK,
Great spalling videos.  Only to have the access to rock that you do.  Living in Michigan we have a lot of beach sand and no knapping rock.

thanks again,

Jon

Very good vid. This is just what a new flint knapper needs to know. The techique used to reduce is continued for the most  part till the point is done

Jon, beach glass knaps really well... ;D

Yes, this reduction technique is pretty much the same all the way through the process of making the point or tool.

Tracy, thanks.  I probly should have made these videos a lot sooner. :)

I have been learning slowing and thank you for the time you put in to make this video. I need a few days in a pit filled like that! I live in northern Illinois and need to start researching and finding local rock.
