Flint knapping

[Blade]

Looking for some good books, workshops on the art of flint knapping. My interest includes both the history and practical "how to" information on the subject.

Blade,
Go to Ted Bailey's site and there is a schedule for knapping and other primitive classes and lists of websites. http://ic.net/~tbailey/Primitive.html

My two personal favorite books , one on each end of the knapping hobby, are John McPherson's books and DC Waldoff's.
