Knappin at College Station/Bryan Area?
« on: January 06, 2015, 02:28:05 pm »
Are any of you interested in a knappin in the area of College Station/Bryan, TX? I live at Wixon Valley just outside Bryan, and we could have it here or wherever the group wishes. I am almost certain we could get at least 4-5, maybe several more, together.

Me also.  8)   P.S.  We should start a new thread in the events tab.   When we pick a date.  I'm pretty sure I have a great location.

Nathaniel, you head it up, and barring unforeseen obligations, I'll be there. I know two more people who will probably be there. I also know some people who have expressed an interest in observing.

We are working on planning. The thing we are dealing with now is that if we get a public place it will cost some for 1 day and more for 3 days. We could have it at my house free of charge. I have 3 acres in a country subdivision, and tents would be OK, but I don't have any hookups. There is a convenience store just over a mile away. I also don't know how far anybody might be driving and whether one day would be adequate. The convenience store has an unused canopy that I might be able to get permission on if anybody wants more public exposure.

I go to A&M and have been a long time watcher of these forums! I would love to get in on the action, I've made a couple bows but never flintknapped before, any chance there's room for a newbie?

You are more that welcome.  Maybe I can knock a little rust off of my tools.

It's about a 2ish hour drive for me to get up there, but if I'm able to plan work around the date I'll make an appearance!

Don't forget this one. Come to watch, ask questions or chip along with us. For any newbie knappers, this is a chance to learn.
