TN Classic Knapping Thread

Eddie- them lazy scouts. They quit before the job was done Just kidding-  that sucks, and they ruined a few tools too.

Edie.....That could not have happen to a nicer guy.....you gota love kids.....LOL......................Curt

[FlintWalker]

Don't feel bad Eddie. One of the little snot nosed yard apes destroyed the best piece of that green rock I had...then tried to steal it! Ohhh if I was his daddy!!!! I'd take an acre of hide off his ass and every time it grew back I'd do it again!

That's funny shannon.

Had about the same thing happen with a Bow this weekend....but I believe a Wise Old Injun...has a Plan....

Shannon , which day did all of this happen? Sounds like we may have a litttle unsupervised problem . I'm always afraid that one of thes kids are going to get cut while monkeying around in the pit. Don't get me wrong I'm all for youth knappers but where are there parents Bob

[leapingbare]

Bob they were the scouts. There were about 30 of them and only a few troop leaders.
I ran them out of the pit a bunch.

[Outbackbob48]

Jesse, that is truly sad that it was the scouts,  Must of happened after we left on sat.) Sorry to here about your loss of stones an bifaces an probably some tools. I think you have the right idea Shannon. Later bob

Bob, shannons preform got broke sunday AM

[mullet]

Bob, It happened when that female , scout dressed woman was sitting across from Jesse watching him knap. The one with the boy scout hat on. I watched a couple pilfer some of Jesse's preforms sunday morning.

But, hey, maybe some are inspired to knap.

My fingers got chewed up from all the knapping.  I think I'll take a vacation from my vacation and let them heal for a while.  It was worth it!!! 

[Pappy]

I don't know Eddie after the chewing I heard Miss Joanie gave them ,I ant sure they will ever be the same,she has a way with kids that don't listen.I am really sorry about the trouble and wished I had know about it earlier,I assure you I would have taken care of it.

They had all my knapping tools scattered all over the place, I don't know what I'm missing yet. Thankfully miss Joanie kicked them out.

ya when i seen all of them kids in the knapping pit just smashing rock on the benches
i knew right then and there that my bucket(regardless of how heavy it had gotten from buying rock from jesse)
had sat there long enough,so i bear hugged it and off to my campsite it went

i dont mind leaving it sit and having adult type people borrow my tools and put them back
hell i even told them too,i even said you can bust my rock if you want to
only condition was they had to leave a pretty point in place of each rock they would hit
no one hit any of it

I went out ths afternoon to my "Pit" and noticed I was missing a Bopper after the Classic. Did anybody find a medium size, short handled Bopper made by Mark Bracken? And I don't know how many small diamond files I'm missing.
