Just saw this while on Youtube, interesting anvil, looks like a great support system. Some day it'd be nice to uncover a Clovis fluting kit but until then let the experiments roll. Thanks for sharing.

I can not play YouTube vids from a link. What is the name of the video?  Thanks

You should be able to search his name on Youtube and find it; 'Daniel Wakolbinger'. It's the most recent video.

Thanks Turbo, I found it. I like the way he secured the point but I think an indirect percussion would be more accurate. Gives me some ideas.... :)

I would taper the end of the chunk of wood so that he could have more clearance on the follow thru but it's a great way to add mass to the point.

Yeah, I agree Lyman and Steve. I plan to try my nice flat sandwich rock w/ indirect next time I flute. Adding mass is great and I like his idea.

Thanks guys. There's a lot of ways you could incorporate the concept of more mass and a channel for the flake. But over all I feel like the idea is pretty cool and helpful.

And I got some indirect ideas floating around, that's how I broke it on the second flute...  ::)

The more I think about right this moment the more I don't know why I didn't use a flat rock instead of wood. I could hold it how I normally flute them. I'm such a dummy

That is what this site is all about. New ideas. That looked awesome and simple enough that even I might get a flute that way.

I really believe tip of point support is important when fluting. Many folks will bury the point into a piece of leather, wood or a leg when fluting. It stablizes the points tip and prevents the shock from breaking the end. BUT, I have seen them fluted just by resting it in an open hand with no support...Turbo is correct, it is a learning process and interesting.

Bomo
I can't watch videos. but I see one point without a hinge.
 Have you created hinged flutes also with your process?
I have no problem making them by hand  fluting with a
antler or copper billet.
Thanks Zuma

You certainly can with this method just set up a steeper nipple and or hit more inward. But I have no desire I to make Clovis points with pronounced hinge flutes. If used they would be weaker and more snap prone and I don't find the look as desirable personally.

Great and thanks.
I'm a hinge freak lol
I think of it as the ultimate challenge
and a hallmark of Clovis tech.
