sloan dalton pressure flaking series sloan dalton pressure flaking series
Posted by: Flintknappingtips

Video duration: 559 seconds

This series is roughly an hour and only covers the 4 major sets of pressure flaking on a finished, but stage 1 sloan dalton. Unless you are super into this kind of thing, you probably will want to only watch half of chapters 1 and 6. I kept it long though for the few people I know will really benefit from having the whole thing together.

No knapping in this video, just show and tell. I ramble about some of my ideas about using punches in replication and sing the praises of the ancient artifacts and their precision. This video uploaded poorly from my camera for some reason, so I apologize for the technical problems.

NEW hammerstone clovis 2.2 NEW hammerstone clovis 2.2
Posted by: Flintknappingtips

Video duration: 447 seconds

I watched my hammerstone clovis video and noticed halfway through the 2nd chapter that the preform jumped forward in stage w/ no video. I had left out 2 clips that showed an important thinning series and a lip flake that is interesting to note. It might be worth watching if you saw the first time and were wondering how the preform jumped ahead so fast.
