This video by Bill, titled "Adjust" gives detailed instruction and close up shots of his unique pressure flaking method with an Ishi stick. Just seeing the size of the Ishi sticks he uses alone is worth the cost.
Bill specializes in pressure flaking thin pieces. His highest W/T ratio with this method is 12.5/1 on a blade that .16 inches thick and 12 1/4 inches long. He has made smaller pieces, some as thin as .115 inches thick!
Bill has 40+ years of experience flintknapping.

This video is dedicated in memory to Bill's younger brother Jerry who passed away in 2004. Jerry always supported Bill in his flintknapping endeavors and once commented referring to their making of bows/arrows and playing cowboys and indians as children that "it was a childhood game Bill never grew out of"
