| This page contains pictures of knappers and the points I've collected from them either by trade, puchase, or via this page. If you are a knapper and want to appear on this website page, simply send me a picture of yourself knapping and mail me a point you knapped. You will get your picture and point displayed here for free, and I get to keep the point as my fee. I'll also put any other information you send along with the picture so long as it has to do with flintknapping (e-mail address, website, phone, address etc...) My fee, the point you mail to me, must be signed and doesn't have to be your super best point, but keep in mind, it will be beside your picture and name. I've provided this service in an effort to create a place other knappers can come to see who other knappers are and what they can knap. This is also a great way to get free advertising for knappers who need it. Show the entire world your abilities for the cost of a point!!! Send me a picture of you knapping via e-mail to: mike@susquehanna-wd.com, and then mail your point to: Michael McGrath, 39 Vine St, Binghamton, NY 13903. As soon as I receive both the point and picture I will post it immediately. We will not take responsibility for lost or damaged points, so pack those points carefully!! I look forward to adding you here, all knappers are welcome. |
