Go to youtube and search for flintknapping. There are some excellent videos on there. I would also recommend getting DC Waldorf's book "The Art of Flintknapping."And try to get to a knap-in, that will really spedd up your learning curve when you can watch people knap and ask questions.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

I concur wholeheartedly ;D. Youtube's, books, vid's, and tonnage. Your best bet is to sit down with somebody who already know's.
