ryan,are ya saying thsat you want to learn to knap?
if so and are looking for knap alongs of sorts,you tube is great and has a lot of great vids on the subject.
i have watched most of them and thats all i have done for any formal type of instruction.other than that its been trial and error.
i am proud to claim being self taught as i have never sat down and gotten instruction from anyone.
well other than you tube that is
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd

Dig back through the flintknapping section. There's several in there but I can't remember their title. Or go check out the Utubes - their more or less build along's.
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.
