The fifth picture is a Marcos point made from rootbeer flint.  The last picture is a Harrell point made from Tecovas jasper.

Dang man! Those are some dandy points with a variety of stone. Second pic, glossy point on right- what's the material?

Thanks

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Thanks Guys!   :)

Tracy, that light colored glossy material is Llano river chert, heat treated.  It's mostly small nodules of river gravel.  I've got lots of different shades of that stuff.

My plan was to start making videos again once the flintknapping definitions "thing" was fully researched.  I may have to say heck with it and jump back in.
