some more help on the way
« on: March 09, 2008, 08:35:40 pm »
I ordered D.C. Waldorfs The art of flint knapping dvd.  Some of my points are coming out alright, but I'm having trouble thinning the spalls out. I tried using an antler billet, had some luck but hopefully I'll learn something new from the dvd

As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up ways to kill one another.Why do you think we invented politics and religion.
