I went to an artifact show last saturday in Seward Nebraska. I did some Abo work and met some nice knappers! Guess who else i ran into? FlintKnp17!!! really cool guy! I also bought a cast of a Folsom point. thats going to be the point i want to try to recreate.
ill definitely be back next year!!!

Russell, finding other knappers and talking to them and watching them work is the best way to learn. Most knappers I know don't mind passing their knowledge and techniques with others interested in learning. The knapping pit at the Tenn Classic is a fine example. You'll leave with way more than you came with. :-K :KN :OK

And plus pat, knappers are normally super awesome people!!!
Here’s a cast of an artifact that I bought

Waiting to see the progress! (-P (-P. You are way ahead of me!

I am in Iowa. My family is from Aurora, NE so I know the area pretty well. I came over for the day to see the artifact show and do a little knapping. Beautiful country you have out there that far west in NE. I worked for a summer in Lewellen, NE.
