Bob, I ordered a couple flintknapping videos from Mark Bracken here a while back and did so after your recommendations from the Classic last year. One is by Roger W. and is ABO flintknapping. The other is with Mark Bracken. Love them both.

Turkeys are strutting here in So. Ind with this awesome weather. Need to find more time for the knapping!!!! ;)

Tracy, I have both of Mark's tapes an I really liked the one on how to knap square edges an turtle backs, seems like not very long ago that was a problem for me an now I don't hardly think about square edges just go after em as a everyday problem, funny how thinks change. Later Bob ;D
