Great video. I looked at the knappers, one wearing a shirt and vest and another knapping with his legs crossed. I must go at it like I am "beating
snakes". I go to the driveway and after and hour or so of working on a point I am covered with sweat. Looks like I ran a marathon. Guess I need to relax
a little. Everytime I get on this site I learn something. Thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge.

Watching that video by Val Waldorf brought back good memories. Gosh I can't believe that it's been 21 years since that knap-in showing DC
Waldorf, JB Sollberger, Jim Regan, Bob Hunt, Carey Weber, etc.. That knap-in was at the Kylberg Ranch close to Andice, Texas in 1988, I was there. My how time
flys! Val Waldorf, JB Sollberger, Jim Regan and Don Kylberg have since passed away.

I just got back from Los Angeles, {Hollyweird} where I was asked to come read for a movie roll in an upcoming film, all famous weirdos too. They liked my
guitar picking, which was part of the role, but said my acting sucked. One guy reading my application said what the hell is a flintknapper? I told him flat
out, "nicest bunch of folks you could ever meet"! ... "and damn right I show can pick!" That would have been my first movie roll. I did
get to help in the research dept however and some of the dumb hick phrases in the film are right out of my mouth. I guess I will be staying out in the oil and
cotton fields of Bakersfield..I miss Buck Owens ,allthough I have got to work with Buck's son- John Owens.
I will be picking on some BrightHouse T.V. Shows and FLINTKNAPPING DIGEST! I miss Val, Charlie and J.B. a lot. I would spend intire week ends on the phone with them. When I called the Waldorfs -Val would talk on the phone and D.C. would yell out the answers in the back ground, as he chipped. That's when I was working with them on "20th Century Lithics" I was afraid no one would like the video,,,thanks fellow flint heads! Ed M. had the narrowest notch entry, but it was really a close race, I will film all the points for next weeks show. Man I am all choked up over these responces, Ray P.S there is one hell of a knap-in inheaven today! HAPPY FATHERS DAY P.S Sorry it took so long, Val gave this film footage to me almost 20 years ago to make a film show for video release - I feel badI never did it.

Hey Ray sorry i just got back from my daughters orientation at collage. Man life is starting to get complicated. Man i loved the video. There were some of the
best knappers you could ever meet . I sure wish I could have meet JB though. I can't believe that I won though because there are alot of better knappers on
this site than me so come on guys keep up the notching.
May be some day I will make it to CA to chip with you guys. I would love to hit some of that big glass THANKS Ed |

I've known Ed for years and love the big old guy...I've all ways said he was an underestimated Artist...I buy and sell a lot of his points and I'm
so proud that he is getting some of the attention he so richly deserves. He is not only a great artist he is a top shelve guy. He is always the first to help
and has done a lot for Betty and I. We miss you buddy and hope we get to see you and that grey headed guy soon...
The Bear and Betty You can find more of Eds points at walleringbear-trading-post |
