My Flint Knapping Work

I am still new to this hobby even though I have been at it for three years. In my first year at this I ended up severing the tendons in my right thumb and could not do this for the next year. In addition to that I have a nerve condition that made this hobby very difficult to do. I have recently taken care of the nerves (I Hope) and plan on attacking flint knapping with a vengeance. I hope to soon not only list what the points are made of but also actually make particular styles.
