A Few More Points
« on: June 30, 2009, 11:39:58 pm »
My boy just had to point out the fact that my notches were uneven.  He watches two videos and suddenly he is an expert.













A few bird points I made just for good measure.

Don't worrry, as you get older your son grows smarter as you, in his estimation, recede into senility.  I think it went that way in paleo times also.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Jaeger, I know what you meen. I have reworked almost all my points. Several have made it to the next stage , but many have ended up in the pile of shame. After watching Billy's videos on knapping junk rock I have dug back through my buckets and found new stuff to work on.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!
