Always knap like it's going to take everything you've got to make whatever you're working on.  There are NEVER any short cuts.  As soon as you start slacking, the stone will let you know and you'll make gravel.

I'm really good at that. And to top it off now my tennis elbow is flaring like a crazed cat. Dang work getting in the way of my personal life.

Zuma:
A situation often overlooked is the grain of the rock.
If the piece flakes like butter in one direction but chatters
and stacks in the other, learn how to deal with that.
Lots of cherts form in bands or layers
Getting higher and harder on the platform helps
 sometimes when thinning.
And of course the (holy grail) PLATFORM.
Make them like you know what you are doing. lol

Time indeed...I'm 17 years into this hobby and I still suck...
