Knapping tools wanted

Im an experienced napper but i never tried taking one on obsidian.... seems like it would be uncomfortable

 

If you can put up a picture of what you are looking for. If I remember right it is a piece of deer antler and a piece of boot leather stretched over a board and tacked down.
Both of my parents are passed but Mom could Knap a stone arrow point pretty well. I'm cleaning out there stuff right now. If you send me a pic of what you need Ill keep an eye out for it. DR

 

Just from memory, the all black piece at the top of your pic will be the easiest. Maybe practice on the others first . I'll also keep my eye open for more rock. Around here the most comon type is Snow Flake Obsidian. Its a dark black with white dots all through it. And it works almost as easy as the all black. DR

 

Man I read this title like chit we going to get shut down by the fbi. Rick looking for kidnapping tools

 

There's a great channel on YouTube called Shawn Woods and another called huntprimitive. Theyre both pretty good knappers and have basic tool kits. You can make most of em with some old antlers or bones, and if you want to be modern some of the tools are made with copper pipe.


I'd love to start knapping. I need to keep my eye out for some obsidian while wandering around

 

Since starting my retirement, I love knapping as well--typically, around noon I fall asleep
