I think I got the bug. Past week after work i find im knapping instead if sleeping. I am afraid I have sleep knapnia.
And the floorboard of my truck is turning into a small debitage pile.

That's what happens Sleek. You'll never look at landscaping stone the same. Even old TV screens and toilets might get a second look.

As in, those bug round river rock lookin things around fast food joints? Can they be worked?

BJ, to be honest, i have caught myself with my ohone in my hand passively feeling the corners wondering where the first flake should come off...

Thanks Zuma.

Im having trouble with thinning. Every time I want to shoot a thinning flake I find it want to just follow the same olane as the last flake, rather than do at a deeper angle and shoot farther. Do I have to raise the platform higher, to get get better thinning flakes or is there a secret that keeps me from loosing so much width just to set up for thinning?
