I think it's hilarious that I changed the title of this thread to "Errwit errwit w/chz 2020" and no one even noticed for over a month. LOL
There's like 50 pages of Errwits. too funny.

Fiery said: Those were some nice knapps you posted in the other thread. My question is what should I get for the knapper itself and for the leg? I already have the good eye gear . And then, one could potentially create a knap tent, where the shards would be contained.
I forgot about this post...I'll get back to ya with some pictures of my stuff, sizes/measurements, and where you can get it.
Basically just a few different size billets...3/4, 1, 1 1/4, & 1 1/2 inch diameter. With those you can get some pretty good detail going... then you want pressure flakersfor the finer detail work.
Copper tipped billets are very efficient, but it's cool to be able to do it traditional, and use the antlers, and hammer stones...but those antler billets can be pretty expensive.
You'll need abrading stones, you can get them with different grit, but I just use a really rough one.
Wearing gloves is good if you're just starting out, and for the leg I went to a hobby store and got some leather scrap pieces, and sewed them together. I cut off some old pant legs for more cushion under the leather.

We certainly noticed, it's just not worth changing it.... you'll just change it back to erwit cheese.

Ah that's awesome. Are you selling any of them? They sell pretty well here where I live at like festivals and such.
There's a lady an hour away from me who just found a big ass stash of Chert/jasper on her property( multicolored like reds and yellows and banded,) and she's selling it for like $3 a pound to knappers.
But where I live, I can drive an hour up to NW-GA and find tons of jasper and flint myself.
That's really cool you're into that and strangely enough there's like 5 other knappers on this site as well.

I was actually banned for 30 days so I wouldn't even have been able haha.
Which brings me to my next point. NIFFLA is in big trouble. That guy said he was going to self ban with me for 30 days and then pussied out. So I was all alone in my banned-ness/
NIFFLA! Get in here and explain yourself, mister.

Your puppet would've handle it
And no I don't try to sell anything I've knapped... I've got a long way to go before I can make something worth paying for.

@Fiery
I forgot to mention the hand pads, you'll want one for the pressure flaking. I like the leather one the best, because it moves with the hand better...but old shoe soles work fine.
The deer antler pieces I collected from around here. If you're gonna buy an antler billet, get an elk or a moose one...they're bigger, and they'll work a lot better.
Safety glasses for size reference...

Dang! That's a pretty sweet set there. And I disagree. Judging on some of the pictures you posted I think it's worth buying. Don't be too critical of yourself. And, thanks for sharing!
@ Niff Tits- GET IN HERE and explain yourself mister why you reneged on banning yourself for 30 days. I did the time, and you did the crime.
And you left me ALL ALONE! COWARD!

^See edit in that post. Added something about hand pands, and a photo of the leg pad.
I don't think I'm being too critical of myself, just honest. Thanks a lot though, I appreciate it...gives me a little more confidence.
If you saw them in person you'd see more of what I'm talking about, but if I put my stuff next to a highly skilled knapper's - the difference would be pretty substantial. I personally wouldn't pay for any of the pieces I posted...unless they were in a dollar bin or something.

Yeah I see that. That's awesome. If you get a lot better you could maybe even start holding classes where people pay you to learn how to do it. Like a workshop, and you could sell supplies and what not like through the local arts center.
That is , after all this virus crap is over.
Or you could offer one on one lessons for a price... and who knows maybe get lucky with a sexy babe who wants to more than just knap. She'll say something like " The way you beat that with the horn is turning me on" =- I dunno Either way you could profit giving lessons.

The lessons would be cool little gig. Fingers crossed for the knapper babe
