Free hand or lap knapping?

I've watched a bunch and I really wanna try it. I dislike pressure flaking so the less I have to do of that the better. I made a horizontal antler stick like Marty uses but I need so make different size bits for it. I also wanna make an under the leg one and some copper ones to see what I like the best.
JackCrafty:
I prefer, and have mostly used, horizontal punches. Never liked the vertical ones. And I don't like using leg pads.
Allyn T:
Now that you say that I haven't really seen any leg pads in your videos
mullet:
I prefer free hand unless I'm thinning large spalls. I also made up some large punches from Moose Billets after watching James Parker use them. I have started using very small punches a lot when I notch points or for thinning the base.
Allyn T:
I have some horizontal punches in the works. Mullet do you use antler or copper for your notch punches?
