ill look at all those resources for sure. ive really just been winging it. i have made a few points but they are few and far between. as far as thinning goes im pathetic. in fact ive never thinned anything really substantially.
as for being a texan, i am farthest from that i can be i think. i am from the central interior of British Columbia Canada. The closest town is a Village and out here if you aint a logger or a trucker your a rancher XD so in that aspect perhaps I am close to a texan XD haha

would an ishi stick do the job better then a flaker? im going through glass like a mad man and all i seem to ber doing is getting crappy little flakes and lots of shards in my foot XD im lucky to send one flake half way accross. ive been watching videos like crazy and am just at a loss for what im doing different XD

Search my posts. I posted my journey as I was learning. You will have many of the same questions your path to flint knapping will be very similar.

Flintknapping is a sport. Welcome to the team. We'll show you the game but you've got to practice to get good. ;D
And by practice I mean LOTS of practice.
