Includes a section on using sawed slabs,  breaking up a monster boulder, and how to use those small chips and irregular chunks. It has lots of good instruction on the nuances of edge preparation and flake removal. Though intended more for the intermediate knapper, beginners will also find it very useful.

This video is crammed full of information and tips -- too many to be absorbed with just one viewing, so we make the stream viewable three months.

This video stream is VINTAGE and is NOT in HD quality. We did the best we could in digitalizing the originals available. The methods and instruction are not outdated. The original video was shot and edited on actual film and sold on VHS, then converted to DVD, and finally converted to a streamable format to better reach new generations. You will see reminders of it's film edited history in our streamable version, however this will not take away from the instruction. We are working to convert and preserve as much vintage flintknapping wisdom and perspectives before the paper and media it is on degrades any further. On behalf of independent authors and producers, we thank you for your support.
