Your work is amazing. So happy to find this channel!
Great vid. Easy and simple follow instructions. About how long was the wire. It looks to be 3-4 inches. Thanks.
Como se yama tu alambre y donde lo compras buen trabajo
This is fantastic. I have an obsidian arrow head with a slight bend at the tail. I am going to wrap it just like this. Thank you for ur patience.
Pieces like this are my favorite. Is there any chance you could point me in the right direction to get some more exotic material to knap?I'd love to make one of these or something with a banded agate of some kind
wow this really suprised me. i knew that stone tools were effective because of the continued use over time but ive never seen it in use... that was a cool video thanks
As a straight razor shaver, I am impressed!

Thanks Mike! Very cool. If Ivan likes it it’s good to go.
Thank you John. Glad it was helpful.
I love this video. I did a video removing the backstraps with a stone hand knife (I have since hafted it). People complained about how easy it is to remove backstraps without a knife, instead of paying attention to how easily it cut, so I did two more, cutting a roast through the vacuum bag it was in, then cutting it again after it was out of the package, just to demo how sharp stone knives are. That was a chert blade, nowhere near as sharp as the obsidian blades I make.
Flintknapper here in SW Michigan. Learned from Larry Waldron of Chadron NE when I was living in Crawford, NE. Now reside near Fennville, and would love to connect to others here in Michigan.
came for the wrapping, subscribed for the "pay attention mister" lolol. nice one
Thank you for your tutorial
Beautiful
Just what I needed....... at just the right time.
This guy is making me wince just watching him. I know just how sharp those cleaved shards of obsidian are.
Using your technique to wrap some arrowheads my dad had bought us secretly before he passed. He was going to wrap them to give to me, my husband, and my brothers on Christmas ❤️ now I'm going to do it for him and pass them out at Christmas tomorrow, so thank you for sharing!
Neat.
Clear, simple and nice looking. The best on the Net!
👍 great, I like the close up
Rest in peace
The Aztecs used that same method to make the macuahuitl. It’s said to have been sharp enough to cut a horses head clean off. Scary stuff.
Thank you o.o
How much for the ear rings
What gauge wire? Hard or soft?
sadly this didnt work for me i tried several times and wasted so much wire before i just winged it and did it my own way
Seriously where are you getting the rainbow obsidian from is it from Glass mountain Oregon or are you really down in New Mexico you should literally define that but
Awsome video🤙was the John Wayne movie Big Jake😁
How much wire are you using in ur demo???
How many mm is the wire

Thank you Sharon. My website is www.artofishi.com Take a look and shoot me an email if you have any questions. Enjoy browsing.
I just saw your comment from several weeks ago, Sharon. I create arrowheads from a variety of materials, including opal. Opal arrowheads are obviously meant as jewelry but I have many made of other beautiful rocks that you can see on my website www.artofishi.com Thank you for your comment.
Thank you so much for this video! I’m sure watching it will help me in one of my weakest skills.
Hey Mike great videos! I see it’s been a while since you’ve posted, would love to see you back!
Practice is a big component. But ….. I still have a question and would like the benefit of your experience of how to avoid. I am pressing vertically downward. The arrowhead is beveled. Indentation and the tiniest rocking on a notching pad and “pop” off comes an ear. So, I place a piece of leather on the Notching Pad so the BASE of the arrowhead hangs over the edge of the leather suspended in air. It’s hard to get everything aligned. How to you avoid bevel rocking, depression of the point, while pressing to detach the notch flake? I guess more practice, I hope you understand the circumstance I described.
Great work as always!
Real men shave with battleaxes.
I have been knapping for years and, shame to say, have always struggled with knotching. This has helped me tremendously, thank you thank you thank you.
Thanks so much exactly what I wanted to see!
Outstanding! I guess this is how Native Iroquois shaved Mohegan and square patches on their heads.
