Dang, you guys need a hand?  I can crash on the floor if anyone has room for a "squatter?"  I could bring a few of my Moose tendons and do some pounding out, some splitting and combing out so folks can see the whole process...

Agreed, it was nice to finally meet you, Matt, (a guy named Dan) and see Garry again...glad I made the trip but my wallet is really hurting at the moment  >:D  I even got a little 1 on 1 time with the Michigan Flintknappers Crew, watched them for about 45 minutes and thought I had it all figured out and came home to promptly make my normal pile of gravel...uggg  ::)
