I just wanted to thank all of you guys for coming and participating in the flintknapping, I know you wouldn't have had it any other way. ;)

I enjoyed watching what few times I got free and was able to elbow my way through the crowd to see the flakes flying. I really respect you guys talent...

Shannon, that came out great. And guys, that's Rhyolite (man's rock  ;D ) and he pressure flaked it with antler, too! No copper was harmed in the making of Shannon's point.  :)

Shannon. You did a great job...especially for your first...and double especially since it is rhyolite! But now you have no excuses with any other kind of rock. ;D    Pat

Cool! You remember the name of it? I got a couple of his now so dont want to double up. Think I like Ratzits videos for detail and technique and Refern for his truth in knapping. Breaks a point and actually shows him doing it and is truthfull about not being perfect. Fun to watch him make those points too. Got any of the DC Waldorf videos you dont need anymore? Man I like watching the pros work!  ;D

Don't remember the title Dave but only have two - one is Calf Creekin and other Ishi and Cahokia, can't remember which you were interested in. Don't have any DC stuff.
 Don't worry about the pile of rubble David w - I'm sure you picked up some experience with that box of rocks. Keep on knappin and you'll gitter figured out :).

David, I bet if we just thought about it for a while, we could think of someone passing by pretty close to your neighborhood on there way down. Maybe you could catch a ride with somebody next year.
 If you could ever make it down, you'd be knockin out points in no time flat.
 And tell your parents not worry, you couldn't be around a better bunch of folks ;)  Saw Filer

I have the Calf Creekin video and would be really interested in the Ishi and Cahokia.  You see that guy Dane in his videos? He used to live around these parts and I often went over to his place to break rock with him. Nice guy! Met D.C. once at his place and had a good time learning from him and just shooting the breeze. Wish I could have spent more time with James and learned more from him. Oh well! Next year!  ;D

Cowboy,

I think that some of Redfearn's other tapes are Dalton Point, Clovis Point, and Hardin Point.  I think I have them all, including D.C. Waldorf's, Bill Metcalfe's, and a couple of good Abo tapes.  I play them over and over every night, and I still can't get it exactly right.  I am trying to do more abo stuff lately.  This one tape called "Gettin' 'em Thin" by Roger Warmaneiser--or something like that--is real good.  Good flakin' to all of you guys.  By the way, we have a great Primitive Arts Festival and Flintknapping show in Cartersville, GA, each year the last week in April.  You ought to come.  We had Craig Ratzat this year.

Dan, your making me feel bad! All the good events are back east.  Need to get out that way again sometime.  Can someone look into bringing more knappable material to the next Classic? I would have brought a bunch but the rates for shipping stone by airlines were way higher than the planes can fly!
