Feeling demotivated

Ryan Jacob:
School’s stressful enough as is, my math still isn’t up to par. It doesn’t help that I seem to have lost my touch recently. I can no longer knap the thin blanks I could before, running out of glass to work with. Really wish I didn’t give away all my work to my friends? My percussion tools and pressure flakers have finally splintered out or split. All 11 of my attempted bows have blown up recently. I know gotta keep practicing to make sure I don’t degrade any further but I’m not really feeling it anymore. Any tips?

School first. After you graduate you will have plenty of time to play.

Good advice. Sometimes you just need to have less on your plate. Take a little break from everything. Maybe make some new knapping tools. Relax and enjoy your friends.

hey im in your boat. started high school and I havent been able to knap squat. havent been able to build bows. I feed off of this site. seeing the kindness and the awesome ideas keeps me wanting to do more. i try little things. trades, arrows, just fun stuff. take time to really learn. if you can go to the Marshalls in may and ill meet you there  :OK . keep on going! also try to meet people and go shooting with people that also make bows and shoot traditonal! your doin great.

Like others said, your plate is too full. You'll probably find that you're pushing yourself to knap when you have a spare hour rather than when you want to. Your work will suffer because of it. maybe instead of knapping try a little napping. :D
