Anyone have any experience at flintknapping? I do not, but it is an art I'd I'd like to learn. There are several videos on YouTube regarding it. Some of those guys turn-out some nice pieces!

Someday, I'm going to learn, but will probably take my attendance at a "knap-in" or finding someone local to provide some instruction.

I've a little experience, and the first thing you'll discover is how easy it is to damage yourself. Protect yourself with safety glasses, and lightweight leather gloves.
