THIS IS A SIMPLE 2 PAGE SET OF PLANS THAT GIVE YOU STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO BUILD, AND USE, A JIG THAT ENABLES YOU TO KNAP PRECUT PREFORMS AND FLUTE THOSE PALEO REPRODUCTIONS. THIS JIG CREATES A PIN POINTED CENTER OF RECIEVED FORCE. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO PRODUCE A P.S.I. OF UP TO 10 TIMES WHAT YOU ARE ABLE TO PRODUCE WITH OUT THE JIG. PRODUCING THIS MUCH PRESSURE AND FORCE WILL ALLOW YOU TO SHOT FLAKES FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER ON PREFORMS THAT ARE GENERALLY MUCH TO WIDE TO EVEN MAKE A FLAKE THAT REACHES HALF WAY JUST BY USING A PAD OR RUBBER CHANNEL. I PERSONALLY KNAPPED A PREFORM THAT WAS 4 5/8 INCHES WIDE WITH FLAKES THAT WENT FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER, THAT IS CORRECT..... ONE PASS FLAKING ON  A 4 5/8 INCH PREFORM, THAT IS PRACTICALLY UNHEARD OF! I BUILT MY JIG OUT OF SCRAP MATERIALS LAYING AROUND MY HOUSE, IF YOU BUY THE MATERIALS TO BUILD IT, IT SHOULD COST YOU LESS THAN $5 TO PURCHASE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO BUILD IT.

THIS IS A NICE BLADE THAT I KNAPPED USING THE JIG, THIS IS SOME MATERIAL THAT I AM SELLING ON MY SITE, THIS IS MADE OF "AGATIZED JADITE",  THIS STUFF IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO KNAPP WITHOUT THE JIG, BUT, THAT IS WHY I CAME UP WITH THE JIG, SO THOSE MATERIALS THAT ARE "SAID" TO BE "UNKNAPPABLE", ARE NOW, "KNAPPABLE."

THIS IS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SAME BLADE I KNAPPED OUT OF THE SUPPOSIVELY  "UNKNAPPABLE", AGATIZED JADITE.............RAW!!!  IF YOU COOK THIS STUFF IT IS STILL HARD TO KNAP, BUT LOSES ITS COLOR AND JUST TURNS SUCH A DARK GREEN, THAT IT ALMOST LOOKS BLACK. BUT, LIKE I SAID, EVEN THE MASTER KNAPPER SAID THAT THIS STUFF WAS SO TUFF, IT WAS UNKNAPPABLE, USE THE JIG AND SHOW OFF ALOT OF YOUR PAPER THIN POINTS THAT ARE MADE OF THE STUFF THAT EVEN THE MASTER KNAPPERS SAY CANT BE KNAPPED!!!    I HAVE SOLD OVER 200 SETS OF THESE PLANS, AND EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT HAS BOUGHT THEM SAY IT WAS THE BEST INVESTMENT IN FLINT KNAPPING THEY HAVE EVER MADE! EXAMPLE: A YOUNG MAN E-MAILED ME AND SAID THAT HE HAS BEEN TRYING TO LEARN THE ANCIENT ART OF FLINT KNAPPING FOR 3 YEARS, HE HAD BOUGHT ALL THE VIDEOS FROM THE MASTER KNAPPERS, AND STILL COULD NOT GET THE HANG OF IT, HE SAID HE HAD TALKED TO ANOTHER PERSON THAT WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT HE WAS HAVING, BEING UNSUCCESSFUL IN LEARNING THE ART, AND WAS TOLD THAT HE BUILT THE JIG OUT OF SCRAP MATERIAL, AND BOUGHT A 1/2" PRESSURE FLAKER, AND A SET OF OBSIDIAN PREFORMS, AND TOLD THE YOUNG MAN THAT HE MADE AN ABSOLUTELY PERFECT PAPER THIN SPEAR THAT WAS 8 1/4 INCHES LONG, 2 INCHES WIDE, AND THIN AS A DIME.............ON HIS FIRST TRY! SO THIS YOUNG MAN BOUGHT THE PLANS HIMSELF, AS A LAST DITCH EFFORT AND MADE IT CLEAR, THAT IF THIS DID NOT WORK, HE WAS CALLING IT QUITS! 2 WEEKS LATER, HE EMAILED ME PICTURES OF SPEARS AND POINTS THAT HE MADE USING MY JIG, AND TOLD ME, "THIS JIG CAN MAKE SOME ONE WHO HAS NEVER KNAPPED IN THEIR LIFE, LOOK LIKE A MASTER KNAPPER!" HE NOW SELLS ON EBAY, AND HIS MODERN KNAPPED POINTS SELL FOR GOOD MONEY, AND IS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE BEST KNAPPERS ON EBAY!  FOR 6 BUCKS, YOU CANT GO WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
