working hard on the flint knapping exhibit
« on: March 12, 2016, 08:47:43 pm »
I will be posting abo points again as soon as I finish building the exhibit. BTW the museum ask if I would organize a knapin in the fall. I am also working with them to establish a collection of modern produced lithics. I am still working out details. Due to the smaller scale of this exhibition I could only include a few knappers but the collection can involve many more people. Is there an intrest with these ideas?

Here is a picture of the wall and in the back ground the base. The metal plate will be the layers that points will be attacked to with magnets

Just too close to ignore! If the timing is right, I will be interested. Will they be open to copperheads as well?

That's great Scott!
Yes it would look like other events with all forms of knapping.

excited to see the exhibit finished. From what I have seen from your work it will be grand. I wish I lived closer, would certainly be at the knap-in but I have to pick my locations and Flint Ridge won this year. If you will be there I will try to look you up.

Forgot all about this. That's cool they are having you put together a knap in.

Reader rail goes on  today for a dry fit before painting begins. Matt put the cabinet together from the wood I chainsaw cut and planed. All the trim has been sanded and stained. Matt is coming over to help with the technical stuff (he is a master at Wood working ). Matt is also a bow builder.

No just everything is custom and take a lot of time.
