attention knappers

so back to the subject of knapping.

i've been playing around a bit, failing regularly and generally having a good time. you know the type. i've also been watching some more videos. i've borrowed a copy of jim redfern's making a dalton point. i noticed the solution he gives for fixing a hinge while he's thining and establishing a working edge on his piece. he relies on trying to use a partial ridge left from his work on the opposite edge of the piece to try to undercut it. i've seen other knappers do this too when luck has left them one.

as i'm still not good at percussion flaking or thinning and i still hinge constantly, it occurs to me to try an idea i had while i was trying to figure out a good proceedure/rhythm for thinning. i'm going to try intentionally leaving ridges between each two scars or so, so i have evenly spaced opportunities to cut across the piece as i get to that point on the other edge.

has anybody else tried something like that? if you know what i mean, what do you think about it?

I've never done any knapping, but all of the talk and some of the examples have sparked a bit of an interest. I was at one of my customer's homes today and knew that he had done some knapping. I asked about where to go to get started (he wasn't home so was talking to his wife). She said you're in luck. Turns out he has done more than just a little knapping. She showed me display cases with what were probably thousands of points, knives, hatchets - really impressive. She then invited me over this weekend where he will be teaching a clinic, along with about a dozen other knappers. I'm really looking forward to learning a new skill. I'll take some pictures and let you know how it turns out.

There is a big ol hooya knapp in on I-75 exit 290 from June 24 to the 27th.

If any of you Georgia, Alabama, or Tenny people want to go, let me know and I may can meet ya thar. Well, I only live one exit north.

I have a few friends who are prob. going to put on arrow building and other kinds of seminars. Oh yeh, my favorite part. It's free.

FVR, I just may take you up on that offer! I'd be interested to learn more about knapping. My grand dad had a farm on the Ohio River (West Virginia side). When he'd till the land in the spring, he'd find arrowheads from Indian settlements. My dad now has them in NY, but I've got dibs when they're to be passed down. I'll try to take some pics of them when I'm up there this summer.

Let me know. I try to make it there at least oneday to look for rocks, wood, and dead critters.

I one time traded roadkill for a stick and a rock. Now that's a good trade.

sounds like my experience at okanogan barter fair in washington ;)

i wish i was on your side of the rockies. i hope you have a blast.

Great looking stuff, That is talent!
