I know we always seem to do the PITH after the 1st of the year. I was wondering if we were ready for it??
-
When would the dead line be for shipping out?
-
We usually have it in April if I'm remembering correctly
-
Funny you are bringing it up I was thinking about it just the other day. The last two years I organized it and we started late Feb. - early March. I suppose if we are ready to make it go it's about that time.
It's run so well the last two years...I hope we have a really good turn out for 2017.
So...Is it time yet?! ;D ;D ;D
-
Is it a bit early to start with the weather being so cold that many won't be wanting to chip?
Our due dates have been in May previously. Might be fun to see some points given at the TN Classic, which will be here soon.
What do you think Don?
-
We can hold off a bit. I'm in no rush here. Like most here it's one trade I reall look foreword too.
-
Guess I'm to new to know, but I'm guessing this is a stone point trade?

Yep. It's the PITH or point in the hat. Coming soon, bjrogg.
-
I'll be keeping a eye out for it

I tell you what Tower, since you are so excited to do a trade, but are lacking a trade partner. I guess I will have t get my stuff out and make a couple points for you. You dont even need to do the PITH. Just throw your and my name in a hat and call it quits. 6 of mine for 6 of yours >:D >:D

Hold on there squirt...

If it's now I'll have to tap out. I'm working six days a week, 12-14 hour days on the big sinkhole that was in the news a while back and going to Brazil Feb. 4 for a couple of weeks to work.

Dont forget to look for some cool stone down there.

I think it would be better if our knapping community came to a consensus on the PITH.
With that being ssaid Nathaniel, you know I'm always up for. Private school trade, Scott, your are More than welcome in it.
-
I'd love to join in on this but I still suck at knapping! This is the year though, gotta make it happen. I've cracked out a couple of points, nothing to right home about though.
Eddie, what sink hole?? Where you at? There was a big sink hole here in Michigan not long ago.

Dave when you come down to go hunting this fall bring your knapping tools we'll do some chipping.

TD, I'm pretty sure everyone who knapps is welcome in the PITH. With that said, it would be better for me if we could wait til the weather broke a little. I got some knapping in last weekend, 63*, but this weekend is back in the low 30s. Keep me posted Parnell if I happen to not get signed up. Have s gooder, dp
-
Will do, Derik. I figure in about a month. I'm happy people are looking forward to the trade. ALL efforts will be welcome in the PITH.

Dave, it's the one in Florida at Mosaic. Phos Gypsum stack that dumped a few million gallons of slightly radioactive water in the aquafer. We are working around the clock and one shift runs into another depending on what is happening.

I can't wait to start knapping again! We've been down to the -25 mark and had over 30 days below zero. Haven't touched my stone in fear it's gonna be too brittle!
