Pappy: You are the MAN. :) With that much rock, I may get a point or two. ???
Can't wait.
Mike

I was lookin at those in "Life is good" thread - that aught to be enough to keep us all busy for a few days :).
-
That is what I was thinking. :)
Pappy
-
Oh yeah...I can't wait. I might learn a thing or two. Thanks Pappy

Pappy, you need to post the before and after pics of the rockpile. I would love to see what experienced knappers could produce(I'm a rubble maker myself)

Pappy:
Over the last few months you have mentioned having loads of rock brought in, we all thought you were talking about driveway gravel. :D
With a bit of help I just might learn a thing or two about flintknapping this year.
David
-
Pappy remind everyone to set their camera's for HIGH RESOLUTION ;D
-
I'll do that just for you Dana. ;) ;D ;D David I have had that also.About 8 to 10 loads of that to since last year.Need more but out of time. ;D I hope to have 1 more load of napping rock there before the shoot,waiting on Chris. :) He said he would so I am sure he will. :)
Pappy

Naw David, the driveway gravel is the "after" picture of the pile that Tracy talked about. ::)
Mike
-
Mike:
I can make driveway gravel out of them. ;D
But that is about it.
David
-
man i wish i could go and learn some things from the pros
-
Maybe I won't weigh down the airplane with rocks then, would hate to cause it to crash and miss all the fun. Kenneth
-
I think we will have plenty Kenneth.David just suck it up and come on ,you don't want to
miss this. ;) ;D ;D
Pappy

Chris brought it to the Cabin yesterday,looks good. :)
Pappy

Cowboy, I'd like to have one of your points if possible...don't mind paying or trading for it! You do good work! :)
-
I got dibs on the big chunk! ;D
-
That will be the advantage to getting there early. ;) ;D
Pappy
-

Pappy wanted me to tell everyone that the Classic will be in August instead of May. See yall then. ;D

I'll be there Sunday. What day will you be there Dana? Might beat ya too it.
Lets see what kind of traps can I set up around my little hoard? Deadfall, pitfall, punji, Falling..... ;D
-
Gonna be there Sunday david and I bribed king ron to pick ya up late >:D
-
Did ya now! Well, I guess I will just have to counter bribe the Great King! ;D
-
Bribery dose wonders. A cold Miller lite might do it,well maybe more than one. ;) ;D ;D
Pappy
-
No problem! As I remember Pappy you were arrested for some special drinks being concocted last year. Do ya have any of the special brew leftover I might acquire to bribe King Knothead with? >:D ;D >:D
-
Hey, ya'll save a peice of that rock for me - I wanna test it out :D. Got four buckets of this hard stuff to keep everybody busy while I make my gettaway ;D.
-
No chance Paul! I already have a bucket of your hard stuff and that enough! Needs heat!!! ;D
-
Hehe ;D. That's half the fun of knappin - throwin back a few shiners whilst makin points and cookin them rocks :)..
-
After destroying on billet on the hard stuff I have decided I REALY like obsidian! You all will have to introduce me to some pleasant knapping chert or flint to change my mind after trying Paul's stuff! ;D
-
;D ;D
-
Tiller, Cowboy's stuff ain't that tough-I'll bring you down some good Smoky Mountain quartzite if you want a challenge. ;D
-
Should I bring a sledge hammer or jackhammer? ;D
-
I'll save you some Cowboy,I have a stove in the outside shop,you can cook some rock if you
want,at least I have heard of people doing it in an oven. :)
Pappy
-
Cowboy, I'll save you some choice pieces if there might be a point in it for me...hint, hint. ;D
Just kidding...sort of. ;)
-
Ahh, thanks guys ;D. I'm lookin forward to hittin some of that stuff - I imagine whoever is standing around looking hopefull will get a point. I don't plan on keeping any of em unless I make a really good huntin point. Trying to get some arra's made for next huntin season :).
-
I imagine whoever is standing around looking hopefull will get a point.
I'm good at standing around...I'll have to practice my best "hopeful" look. ;D
-
Greg go for the Sad Puppy look ;)
-
No no, go for the Greg ant eat all day and is steering at the crock pot look. ;D
-
Ahhh the poor starving orphan look eh ;)
-
Good one Jesse(Leapingbare)...that ought to get some sympathy! If I could only suck my gut in enough to look half starved...but that's sadly impossible. ;D
-
How's this.....
Please sir, might I have some more..... :'(

;D ;D ;D Thats pretty good,I have a soft heart,just ask Greg and Knothead. Kind
and gental Pappy thats me. ;) ;D
Pappy
-
sounds like its gonna be a riot i wish i had the means to get there. i wouldnt mind getting my hands on a few left over spalls of that rock. maybe even a cobble or two?
-
You all are so bad! ;D
-
I hope they don't weigh me when I get there and again when I leave. :-\
If so, I'll blame the extra 30 pounds on the cook'n. ;D
Mike
-
Mike, I'm afraid to say that we could all be in trouble along those lines! ;)
-
I'm still amazed that you guys are worried about rock at the Classic. If you want to have an endless supply of knapping material at the Classic, forget the rock and think beer bottles. :o Justin
-
Justin, I'm not thinking bottles but what comes inside them! ;D
