Knapping hunters please help...

[Auzoutdoor]

Hi guys I hope someone can help me I have started to knap my own points but as yet am not good enough to be able to use them for hunting so was trying to find someone that I can pay to make some points for me.One day I will use my own but its a slow learning process as there is not anyone here in Australia that I can get together with to learn.
Cheers KIM

Sent you a PM

First off, get some obsidian preforms to learn on. They are much easier to work and you will learn with each head you make.
I would try neolithics, paleoplanet or one of the many knapping sites.
You could also try running an ad in the classifieds here. Quite a few great knappers here.
Good luck breaking rock, it gets addicting. And wear gloves....trust me.

Thanks guys for the comments and to the guys that sent me PMs but I watched some more vids and have been practising and can almost make one now so I will keep at it.I got my hands on some obsidian and it flakes SOOOOOO nice compared to the johnstone I was trying before.I also tried some red glass and it came out ok.A bit rough but getting better now...
Cheers KIM

If you can get ahold of Jay in Oz over on stickbow, I'm sure he would help you on the knapping.  I sent him some flint once snd he made some nice heads out of it so know he knows how.  Also, think he told me once there is a bunch of guys there that get together to knap.  Take care, Swabby

Check out a web site called Paleo Planet.  Mostly knapping info.
