Hmmmm do they have training wheels for beginners?
Eddie Parker, surprised me with a beautiful bucket full rocks. Said I have moved up to the next level. Gee Eddie, don't I get a belt with that?
A right nice Christmas Present. Some of the stuff he put in there, I am afraid to touch, till I can do quite a bit better than I am doing now. A couple of nice chunks of obsidian, and chert, agate, and coral, and all sorts of really nice stuff. I guess I hurt his feelings, or made him feel guilty, when I was talking about some of the weird, stuff that was in the other buckets. But, I did learn a lot from those buckets, and If I broke something, or ended up with a nugget, from a two pound rock, it was ok. I was in the early learning stage. If it were not for those first buckets, I would still be trying to find some rock to practice on. He not only helped me, but got me hooked on this stuff. Knapping am mah life now. If it were not fo knapping, I would not be knapping now.
Now I have advanced to the just above early learning stage. Anyway, Eddie is keeping me hooked, with mo "stuff", and Mo Betta stuff! Well I wish all of the subscribers, and visitors, and Mag. Staff, and moderators, a Very Merry Christmas, a very happy Hanukkah, and a very healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year. And I send the same, and my prayers, and thanks, to those in our military services.
