Watch your vid. It was a well spent 25 minutes. If you got that point any thinner, you could read the newpaper through it. I screwed up my wrist knapping last summer and had to lay off knapping for a bit. I like the altrnative way you hold the ishi with the back of your knee. I am going to have to give that a try. Like I said, it was a great video and I learned a lot of new things. Thanks Mucho!

Thanks Steven!  Several people have told me that they have knapping injuries.  Hope your wrist gets better.  My wrists get messed up too.

Thanks Don!  Means a lot to me.  :)

I just spent an hour watching and hopefully learning....I wanted to spend more time in the pit at the Classic this year, but your videos are so well done it's like being there...plus I can say, "hey back up and do that again."  lol

Thanks,
Lyle

Patrick: I am absolutly amazed at how fast you can knock out a perfect point. And i don't recall if you wear glasses or not but man you get some needle tips on those things!

Paul, yep, I wear reading glasses when I knapp... especially when working on bird points and needle tips.  And thanks for the kind words!  Means a lot to me coming from you. :)
