SE Idaho Knapping groups?

(1/5) > >>

DesertDisciple:
I've wanted to get involved in knapping for a while. Absolute zero experience and would like to get involved with a group to pick up some advice on getting started. Willing to make my own tools and do my own groundwork, just looking for some guys (or gals) to learn from.  If there's anyone in SE Idaho or Salt Lake area I'd love to get together and break stuff with ya.

Thanks!

DesertDisciple:
Just corrected post. I live in Pocatello. Haha

mullet:
Next time I'm working in Pocatello I'll give you a shout out. I was out there last year.

I am in Salt lake, well, i'm just south of it. Look into groups in the Logan, or Ogden area. There was a good group here and it has all but fizzled out and died. Bo Earls lives in Utah county. He is pretty good and used to run the Utah county group until he moved.

I live just south of Jojo and have been trying to teach myself too.  My advice is to find a glass bottle recycle bin and practice on the bottoms of those bottles.  It is like learning to golf.  You hit a hundred worm burners, and then have one hit that sails perfect down the fairway.  Then you see why people keep trying.  With knapping, you make a lot of debris and some really ugly points, but then one flake will run like it is supposed to, and then you will have one whole point that doesn't totally suck, and so forth.  Maybe you, me and Joe can get together sometime and all look horrible together.
