Title: I wanna learn
Post by: Blaflair2 on November 29, 2013, 05:56:56 pm

Ok so I wanna learn how to knap. What tools do I need to make and everything? Anyone have pics of their set up? Glass bottles are a good start I hear. Anyone's input well appreciated

And get with somebody one on one if you can. Also tonnage is a popular term around here. Glass or rock don't matter but perseverance and experience do :).

Yeah YouTube is awesome period.  And you are going to need some band aids.
