Hello all,
I made it to the Flint Ridge Knap-in Saturday. I looked for Willjo, but I couldn't find him. Hopefully I'll meet him next year. The knap-in was reallly interesting with a lot to take in. There are some really talented knappers there that reproduce museum quality arrowheads. Oh, there was an ice cream vendor that utilized a hit-and-miss engine to make ice cream, I thought that was really neat. Reproducing arrowheads caught my attention.
The Knap-in had many vendors selling all sorts of fasinating primitive man technologies, so I thought what the hell and bought a flint knapper starter kit. I didnt buy and chert because I figured a newbie such as myself should start with glass. There is a bottle dump behind my house with all sorts of glass to practice on. Learning this primitive skill will help pass the winter months.
