So frustrated
Chippintuff:
Knapping is one of the hardest things to learn that I have ever tackled. Once the AHA moments started happening, the excitement started building. If you can take that first week, you're gonna be a knapper. Keep it up. Get with another knapper if you can find one near you. An hour of one on one is worth many videos, even if the knapper doing the demonstration and teaching is only able to make functional points. Plan on teaching someone else after you learn.

Farrier,
A Native American friend once told us he was on an SF training mission, and knapped out some arrowheads to use a gifts to recruit people we referred to assets. He was asked by an elder how long it took him to make the points, his repy was ',Grandfather, only 20 years and 20 minutes". It does take awhile -stay with it and be ready to provide me with an encouraging word when I hit the wall - :)
