I'ma start a youtube series too....12 steps of flint knapping. These 12 steps will show 12 of my favorite techniques to creating step fractures that ruin your work. ;D
I'll second what Jonathan said. I like the videos, photos are great in tutorials, but I like to see the egg hatch, not photos of the egg then the chick.

Shicken chit... :D :D
Jamie, I clamp my camera to a juniper branch that I lean up against whatever is behind me. It's very high tech. I'll try to get some video of my setup.

whats the difference in a cutbank and a cahokia? I've been calling a lot of those points you did in your first videos cahokias.......what are they?
-
If you find them out here in West Texas, they are called Washita points, as long as they don't have a notch in the middle of the base. If they have this notch, they are called Harrels or Toyahs. Harrels often have tiny serrations andToyahs will have very deep serrations. The Harrels and the Washitas look exactly like Cahokia points, only smaller and more narrow. I've made a few Cahokia points. The rest are Harrels and Washitas.
I don't know what a "cutbank" is.

idk it was on arrowheadology. I need an Overstreet book.
-
Re Overstreet: For identification purposes you don't need the newest edition. Look for it in your local used book store. The third edition, for instance, is available from Amazon right now for $6.43, and I think I paid $8.00 for a 5th edition in brand new condition.
-
Yep, older editions are good. Even the newest edition doesn't have all the variants and types of points currently known. The book does a good job of displaying most point types and their variations.
