New to knapping
« on: March 15, 2011, 01:00:09 pm »
Hello to all,

Im new to knaping and was wonder if there were any guys in texas who wouldnt mind meeting with me and giving me a helping hand getting started. I have all the tools and rock, just need some good hands on instruction. I live in Del Rio, TX; is there anyone close to me?

We have a knap-in in Odessa every month...but it's a little far for you (I think).

By the way: I scoured that place for flint - didn't find any but did find a few points. Have you located a source for rock out there. If you watch some youtubes on knapping and ask around on here, you'll be on your way. Welcome aboard!
