Yep, Flintknapping Fundamentals By Mark Bracken. It's well made and very informative. Postage from the US wasn't too bad. He sells knapping tools too but the weight of those will push the shipping costs up.

Thanks for the link Snufkin. Now there's something else I must have.

I recently bought "Caught Knapping" by Craig Ratzat and would recommend it highly. Picked it up on evilbay(US).

Film gets across the techniques involved much better than sketches ever could in my opinion.

John Lord's arrowhead DVD is good too if pressure flaking is what you're after.

With US DVD's remember there a different region, so make sure you either have a dvd player on your computer, or a region free dvd player.

Good point. The Mark Bracken one is DVD R I think. It works fine on my PC anyhow.

Thanks for the link. I feel yet another addition to the Bushcraft Library is required.

I found these videos but cannot play them. Maybe someone else will have better success then me. Here is the website:
