huntertrapper:
couldnt you make some trade points? maybe its more dangerous? Sorry about gettin the cut. had me a few myself. not from knappin but knives. well goodluck. Also, what do you use for deer if you have to use dull rocks?

mullet:
  David , if Hillbilly is your mentor, Find some REAL BIG rocks.

Pat B:
David, the edge of that glass is way sharper than any steel on earth. So sharp, you didn't feel the cut. It breaks down to a molecular level. You will have the opportunity to knap again. Look up the John Whitakker book and read it. He told his students on the first day of class to bring leather gloves and eye protection. The next day they all had eye protection but none had gloves. By the end of the day the classroom was bloody. The next day, they all had leather gloves. ;)   Pat

ps. I'm patient! I might be 100 before I get a point from you but I'm patient. ;D

david w.:
Well i am done knapping for years. Even though i just started i will miss it becasue i really enjoyed it.


Mullet I am a little slow on this one. Why would i need REAL BIG rocks?

Kegan:
Sorry to hear that man. Parents are just looking out for you though. That's why it helps to learn "impromptu medicine man tricks" ;). Stitching yourself up, getting good at making and keeping styptics on hand, learning to put your hands and fingers in your pockets when your folks walk by ;)...

Like it was said, why don't you try some trade points for a while?
