Woody Blackwell's Flintknapping - the Art of the Ancients- This instructional DVD would make a great addition to anyone's library of knapping aids. Produced and directed with Derek McLean, it is well thought out and nicely presented. You will see similar techniques to those of Craig, as well as others, as each knapper eventually develops their own style. Percussion work and platform preparation are especially well explained. Running time is 1 hour and 30 minutes. $29.95 | Lap Knapping - introduces you to the techniques of pressure flaking slabs to produce authentic looking arrowheads and blades. In the video, Craig uses lapidary equipment to preshape rock slabs which conserves material costs. Craig leads you through pressure flaking, notching, and grinding rock slabs into quality finished points $22.00 |
Understading Flintknapping Fundamentals by Mark Bracken For years I have told my students no two people knap the same way. We take a little from this person and that person and experiment until we find what we are comfortable with. Mark's style of knapping is quite different from mine. His points speak for themselves that his style works. Watching this DVD may make a connection with you and how you can become more comfortable in your own style of knapping. $25.00 |
