Thanks for all the compelments,
Sleek, I would love to hang out wid ya. I think you would be a real good knapper cause you make bows with a k bar knife, and there are similarities to the process kind of, and you like to push the limits too it seems, so you got it.

You can do it. I started with bottle bottoms, and toilets and stuff. Toilets are good practice to learn your swing and angles, but it is notoriously hard to make a clean point without step fractures from it. It's good to hit it and hit it and hit it though, then hit some more of it, even if you don't make anything but flakes it's good practice.
MAIN THING is:
Develop good techniques that limit the stresses put on your body like using your legs to apply force when pressure flaking and brace the wrists with your legs too. Follow through and don't try to stop the bopper when percussion knapping is another very important part of technique to reduce stress and avoid injury to muscles and joints.
I just wanted to throw that out there cause I think it's m portant.
