Another Pressure Flaker, Almost Breaking the Giveaway Piece! - 500 Subscriber Giveaway Part 8 of 14
Channel: Prehistoric Living
Date: 20/03/2022

I made another pressure flaker with a narrower tip to handle the finer pressure flaking. I also did some more indirect percussion, and might have taken a few too many risks, one of which ended up pretty badly, but at least I didn't snap the piece in half. It can still be salvaged, it will just take a whole lot of pressure flaking. Good thing I have two brand new flakers to help me out!

Thanks for watching. Cheers.
