It feels good to share!!!
« on: May 19, 2010, 05:39:19 am »
Hi guys wanted to say that it feels good to share especially when Im out and I get asked why I buy certain things like copper caps and wood working tools, I explain to them the work I do and they think its cool so what better way than to share by giving them a piece of what I do.  It isnt much but its another way to promote our ancient craft.  That it not much thought Id share that with u all.  If u want one I can send u one?

Thanx Pappy Im also thinking since Ive been asked to...is to start up a flint knapping class for adults and Im not sure how they found me but also been asked by a few recovering addicts/ alcholics if I would take the time out and show them...Of course I said yes.  Its kinda weird how people find people sometimes but again it feels good to know u can help someone and help them in a way.  Even if its with rocks and flint knapping.  When I start my class I will take pictures to show the fruits of my labor...Thank you again Pappy!

Great gesture Russ... I wish I knew how to knap...then I would not have to buy or trade for points...points always make nice Pendants..... I need another Hobby...like I need another Bow......  ;)

I have given points to all the counter workers at the post office I ship rock in & out of.  They always ask me what's in the flat rate boxes I'm sending because they're so heavy.  The look on their faces when I said rock is priceless.  It is not as good as the look I get when I give them a point though.

Thank u all for all the kind words!  When I ship out bows or staves they ask me the same thing .."What do U got in there" I tell them a piece of wood or like Hardaway said box O rocks and they think Im nuts!  I actually think they see me coming and some of them start hiding... ;) the rocks can get heavy!  But as mentioned it makes their day when u give them a point.  Have a good day guys!!!!

Russ, very nice work there and especially hats off to working with folks in the program! I feel this is the overarching trait of all here in the PA community. El Destructo is pulling your leg, he does NAP >:D
