Title: Rock in the nude
Post by: Allyn T on March 02, 2022, 08:40:27 pm

Went to my new super secret spot to see if they had started digging more, I was only going to scout I swear! I came home riding low though...hanging my head in shame of my addiction to collecting knapping rock

at the pick of my addiction I made 80km by bicycle just to collect a few pounds of stone
perseverance of the nuts rules the world  :D :D ;)

Gut I'd be more than happy to send some rock your way I have a ton. Glis I guess it's better than other addictions we could have. It's funny because even though I have plenty every time I see a straight rock on the ground I want to check and see if it's any good

Wow!  Are you spalling and treating rock, Allyn?

Parnell I do spall it but I'm starting to collect so much i might start storing it in the round outside. I'm running out of room in my basement. I haven't heated anything yet but I just bought a turkey roaster for 15 bucks. I don't really mind tougher stone as long as flakes run but I do have some stuff that has chalky spots or hard crystal pockets and I do want to try to heat some of that and see if I can make it better but this harvester is really nice it's super sharp and glassy in the raw form.

Dood.  If you want to sell any of what your collecting, I’ll pay you, come pick it up, and buy you a steak if you happen to be somewhere between Wyoming and SC.  That is killer!
