Yep Ive watched everyone. I look for them everyday. I liked the recent video about long flakes. Very informative. Did you ever figure out what that colorful stuff was that you bifaced?

Thanks. I think that was raw horse creek chert.

Great stuff! Especially the smiley faces! ;D ;)

Patrick,I subscribe to your spring theory. Lately I have switched from copper to,aluminum. Mainly because of elasticity of the metal. I feel like it will build up force and really shoot that flake across the face. I now have a indirect precursor , Ishi stick, amd a couple pressure flakers made from aluminum. If you want to try some they sell a 3ft by 1/4in rod at Lowes for 3$. Hammer the tip for pressure flakers, because it looses it's point fast if ya don't.

Cool. I think I'll try the aluminum. It will give me an excuse to hang out at one of my favorite places.... tool world. :)
Rob, I wonder if I should have drawn lips on the smiley faces ...? >:D

Just watched them and like what I saw. Your spring theory is on spot I believe. Also know in baseball as follow through. Or in shooting and many other sports.
Keep them coming, we always like good videos on our passion.
