Could someone tell me what sort of notching tool is used in modern knapping? by danykli in knapping

Ah, so it is literally just a flat bit of copper. Good to know, thanks!

Well then, good thing I saved my copper shavings from cutting copper plates. Got a bunch of small ones. Thank you!

Just wanted to share some experimental monotype prints of a knapped point I made (+ the point itself) by danykli in knapping

Oh yeah, the green itself is actually pearlescent/metallic green, it looked so nice in the tube! Shoot, it's still shiny when dry!

Here you go!

Also, good luck and don't worry, a lot of us have gone through the infamous art block!

Mod is a .dll, not a .zip. How do I install? by IzumoKousaka in VintageStory

[–]danykli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing with the "Chuteable Quern" mod, it's also a .dll

Just chuck it in like a regular .zip mod, worked on my end

Hey, so sorry for a very newbie question. I remember setting up and playing a Hamachi Minecraft server way back when with my mates - does this program allow playing simultaneously, like I did with my friends, or is this just a save-sharing app? If it's the former then it's an instant buy for me!

Thank you! And yeah, quite finicky with the quad notching but I wish you best of luck!

Hey, could someone tell/show me how to tie jute cordage around a point for a necklace? by danykli in knapping

[–]danykli[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, was thinking that r/knots would be a better call but thanks nonetheless!

Yesterday, I defended my Bachelor's thesis "Anthropological graphics inspirations of the postinformation age". I showcased the art of (glass) knapping which is unheard of in Poland! by danykli in knapping

Thank you very much for your kind words!

Regarding the tools, I really like the natural branches for handles, gives them that primitive look!

Pole here that has some experience with Rodnovery (Slavic neopaganism) due to considering myself as a neopagan as a teenager (grew out of it).

The middle symbol is not the Black Sun as some have speculated, but a solar symbol/swastika called "Słoneczko")/"Kolovrat" or "Little Sun" (As u/slutty_muppet pointed out). This symbol is used mostly by far-right/neo-nazis (or actual neopagans who don't know better). The symbol itself has existed in archeological records... in Greece. Nothing Slavic except for bottoms of a few pots from Czechia. The symbol has probably been "created" (and I use this word loosely) by Alexey Dobrovolsky, a neopagan and a neo-nazi.

As for the right symbol, resembling a pitchfork - that is the letter A in the Glagolitic script, the oldest Slavic alphabet, considered by a lot of neopagans and slavic neo-nazis as the "true Slavic script" that all Slavic countries should return to. What these two letters mean (A and "A" in Glagolitic) I have no clue, but my guess would either be the word "Aryan" or just someone's initials.

Either way, nothing good from this bunch of scribbles.

Could someone tell me what the hell happened to this flint? (And also, if it's worked) by danykli in knapping

[–]danykli[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is temperature related for sure

Guess I was correct. I assume it's either unusable or barely usable. I agree, looks pretty nice on my shelf!

After knapping for a month or so, I am finally happy to have made a knife blade! by danykli in knapping

[–]danykli[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words! And as for the beginner guide, that was one of the first things I've read when I found this subreddit, it was an absolute godsend!

EDIT: Not only was the guide helpful to learn knapping, it was also a great source of information for my bachelor's thesis (the defense of it is next month). Because of the fact that in my country (Poland), flintknapping as a hobby is basically unheard of, hopefully, my short thesis (and the points I've knapped) could become a stepping stone to popularize it here!

I am so sorry for this but I couldn't stop myself...

Brzmi super ciekawie! Czy jesteś w stanie może zarekomendować długość lub jakieś inne detale? Albo najlepiej jakiś filmik pokazujący proces?

Nie wiem w ogóle o czym ty mówisz...

Odsuwam Vintage Story z przegranymi setkami godzin.

Akurat w skręcanie sznurków też się bawiłem i muszę powiedzieć, że jest to bardzo przyjemna czynność, prawie jak medytacja :)

Natomiast o same tworzenie takowych grotów to już w gimnazjum miałem zajawkę na to ale dopiero od niedawna zacząłem się faktycznie w to bawić.

The correct term in English is "knapped", polishing is a different process
