Yeah, knapping is certainly addictive. I'm on the "down slope" when it comes to knapping these days, so I don't approach it with the same energy and enthusiasm that I did in the beginning. It's mostly me just trying to prevent myself from losing the skill and sometimes trying a new technique to keep it interesting for my YouTube viewers. And I never liked seeing ads on videos so I didn't monetize my channels (and don't plan to). I make a little money here and there with knapped pieces but nothing to speak of. Maybe I'll buckle down and do it full time. If I do, I'll probably lean toward art pieces and not reproductions.

I'm working a lot of glass and obsidian at the moment and I think these materials get a bad wrap. There's enough variety that it stays fairly interesting and challenging. And the edges are wicked sharp. Always nice.
