trouble thinning
Spotted Dog:
I may have to quit for a while. Doing this is really causing problems with the disability I have.
Lots of pain last night. I hate this stuff. Can't work any more. Can't hardly do a bow either.
Feels like my neck slips up against spinal cord.
le0n:
listen to your body.
rest up.
and when you're ready to get back to it. there are some knapping jigs out there that might give you the freedom to knap.
they use a leverage system to generate the needed energy. it's like using a cheater pipe.
Spotted Dog:
Hey thank you.
That just might be the ticket. I love primitive things and do not want to give up on learning.
le0n:
don't forget the indirect percussion methods either.
go watch a few of patrick's (JackCrafty) videos on youtube.
it may not be for you, but it is an avenue that you might want to test.

good luck!
Spotted Dog:
Brother,
thank you for the help. I am grateful. I need to be able to stand or sit straight without
dropping my head too much. That and raised backward creates mega pain.
It seems the jigs are for sawn preforms. I am not against that at all. Just
want to learn and use what I make. I may have to go back to copper but
will still strive for abo. Nonetheless I would be knapping.
Grateful Dog
