My first point( If you can call it that)
« on: February 23, 2013, 08:48:17 pm »
I went and hung out with Eddie(Madcrow) again today. We stopped in for a quick visit with TJ (Nugget), where i picked up some more stone to destroy. We headed back to the shop where Eddie attempted yet again to help me improve my knapping. Thank the Lord he has patience, If not he would have stabbed me already :(. I finally got my first point looking thing made, Hideous I know but it is mine. While I was destroying pounds of rock just to get this little fugly point, Eddie knapped two blades and a point. I have never sucked so bad at something and had this much fun.

My attempt.



The three Eddie knapped while I was working on my fugly point. The bottom one is my attempt.

You are way too negative about it.  The point looks better than my first one.  Now that you have one out of the way, they will get better.  It just takes practice.  Just be patient.

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!
