Hi Jim,
This near Mebane, NC? Also...say an old retired fellow doesn't know much about knapping...is reading a book about it...never knapped anything...wants to learn. Should this old retired fellow (me) bring tools that he buys somewhere or will I be able to pick up the basic tools at the event? Will total beginners (me again) have a chance to get some knapping lessons? I made a hickory bow at the Tennessee Classic and sure would like to knap some arrow heads and make some arrows in the future.
also:
Yazoo,
Will be interested in checking out your osage.
Rand:)
Hardawaypoints:
Yes, the Knap-In location is just outside Mebane. If you need a map or flyer emailed to you, please let me know & I'd be happy to send one.
Of course, there will be knappers willing to give help/ lessons. If I can free up some time, I'd be happy to myself. Part of knapping is teaching others techniques to help improve their skills. It probably has worked the same way since people first figured out how to shape stone into useful tools. No reason for it to change now.

If anybody cares, I had different surgery than they thought was required. My rotator cuff was in good shape. My upper biceps tendon was shredded and there was not enough of it to fix, so they cut it arthroscopically. My left upper arm now looks strange, but I am already out of the sling & typing with both hands. I even did a little knapping this evening, but it is telling on my shoulder tonight. I should be good to go come the knap-in.
Pat B:
Jim take care of that shoulder. the knapping will be there when the shoulder is healed.
Rand, if folks are knapping and you are interested, all you have to do is sit down with them and act interested. If you think bow building is addictive wait til you get involved with these knappers! :o
