why does this bother me?
bowmo:
Been knapping 17 years now and I stiiiill butcher rocks left and right. And I have to pay for all my rock here in Illinois...
People that learn this craft quickly are witches ;)
Ghost Knapper:
I find that I need to change things up from time to time. I prefer working from a spall to a finished piece all in one sitting. Sometimes I will sit down and make some bifaces or pick up some pressure slabs and make on from that or even take some time off and mess around with one of my other hobbies. I also live in an area that knappable rock is rarer than hens teeth so I have to make do with what I can buy at the knap-ins and conserve material.
Chippintuff:
I have gotten stalled several times, and after taking a rest of a few weeks or monthe, I attack it with a new perspective. That has helped me a lot.
