Title: From the Pit
Post by: Calendargirl on April 04, 2012, 05:44:40 pm

Hey all.  PA is going to be doing a new column in the magazine focusing on Flintknapping.  The columnist will be our very own Patrick Blank a.k.a. Jackcrafty!
He will be giving tips and answering questions regarding flintknapping and those will get published along with his response in the magazine.  Very much like Marc's Ask PA column.
I am pretty sure it is going to be called "From the Pit"
but we need you all to help.  Please if you have any questions regarding flintknapping, how to, or identifying rocks, or trouble spots you have had please send your question to Patrick Blank jackcrafty@yahoo.com.

He says he's ready for the questions to come in...
Thanks for your help!

Good grief.  PA is pandering to the dark side rock knockers.   >:(

I bet this new feature will bring in a few more subscribers, too.   Nice to know the magazine is not hidebound to any one format or subject.  Keep it up, my subscriptions wil keep rolling in!

Cip, I can demonstrate knapping any kind of rock....  it just might not look like an arrowhead when I'm done. :o

Ron, I need to pick me up a big ole chunk of chert first.  I've got my eye on some translucent pedernales right now.  Sweet stuff.  I'll make a video soon.
