Lots of really great knappers were there last year, an all seem willing to help. I don,t think I moved from the knapping pit for four days. I wonder what the rest of the classics all about? Later Bob

I learned a ton at the Classic last year.  Everybody there was more than willing to help.  Wish I could make it again,  I need to keep learning. ;)

Hey Wildman, look forward to meeting you at the classic. I am bringing a tank, but don't know what kind it is and how well it will knap. Sounds like the guys prefer American Standard. If yoiu can get one, that would be great. If not, just bring what you can. I am sure it will all make something even if its pointy shapped gravel.

Steven as fer the tank the old ones are thicker and knap better, hell none of them knap good but there is a difference

You'll have no trouble getting some knapping help at the classic. Just come over to the pit, put a great big chunk of blue flint in my bucket, and I'll get Eddie to give you some lessons. ;D ;D
