Check out the "Trade Post". I'm offering a Wyoming Saw for some preforms.

Welcome to "The Hotel California" >:D
I may have just recently exhausted my stash.
If I go to Flint Ridge I should be in a better position.
Of course you can count on us for any help you need.

Pat:  I have some obsidian preforms that are already hunting point size and maybe some other sizes.  Do you need any tools?  I have lots of different hard drawn copper and some other stuff you might need.  I saw an ad on the confuser about some blood clotting stuff that you can get at the drug store.  With obsidian you will need something.  Let me know where to send this stuff.  Joe

I appreciate all the offers. Let me see what's already coming then I can decide if I need anything else. I still need to make myself sit down and do it.  ;D  That's the hard part.   ;)

The first few times may be. But once you get that one good flake you are hooked. Just like golf, one good shot and you are hooked!
