I watched my hammerstone clovis video and noticed halfway through the 2nd chapter that the preform jumped forward in stage w/ no video. I had left out 2 clips that showed an important thinning series and a lip flake that is interesting to note. It might be worth watching if you saw the first time and were wondering how the preform jumped ahead so fast.

Hammerstone preform w/ heavy basal thinning, then indirect percussion w/ antler punch. I turn out a clunker in this one, but I was taping, so you get the good with the bad.
