You are a fantastic teacher, you explain the problem and then how to solve the problem, great teacher and super video.

Glad you're masking! What you're describing re: the allergy feeling is called silicosis. It's serious business - all of us should be wearing the proper equipment and utilizing strong ventilation when knapping, to avoid lung damage.

You are such a great teacher. Love watching. 👍

I’ve read that many of the gun flint knappers in Brandon England experienced throat problems as a result of their constant exposure to flint dust….They often medicated themselves after work at the local pub for some pain relief!!

As I started grinding more I also started sort of coughing, like I had to spend a while clearing my throat each evening. I started wearing a mask and it stopped. I've heard that cough/clearing-of-throat in a lot of the older knappers, I know what it means.

Wear is the best place to buy coral like you use? I am Eastern NC so I generally have to drive a few hours to find stone but I don’t have anything that good looking local.

Dude you’re one of the best teachers I. KZfaq. What I would request is that you maybe go a little slower when you’re thinning and show the stone from your point of view.
