Hmmm. Moose for rocks. Sounds good to me . Now I just have to shoot one, which may not be too hard if the one that is stomping my garden sticks around.

GOODGODALMIGHTY!!!!!!   You can't imagine the effect that those pics have on someone from The Land Of Absolutely No Flint.
If I saw that in person it would be like turning a beagle loose into a pen containing ten thousand rabbits lol. First, I'd faint. Then, when I came back to conciousness, I'd run around in circles screeching and gathering up armloads of flint while looking furtively around with a paranoid, shifty, evil gaze. Then I'd pile up a big ass mountain of it in the middle of the field and climb on top of it and jump up and down and cackle and scream, "Mine! Mine! Mine!" until I finally collapsed on top of it and lay there drooling, muttering, and twitching until the men with white coats and big butterfly nets came and took me away.................

GOODGODALMIGHTY!!!!! back at ya Steve - you got me laughing so hard in my office box here that the guys outside hammering on that steel must surely be able to hear me.....ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,...........................................................................

[D. Tiller]

Got that right Justin!

You guys make me bust a gut from laughing.

Weird thing Steve I can picture it in my mind. All them rocks and no hammerstone!!!

Hey David: Here's a pic of the tools I use for knapping. These are all copper cause that's what I learned with and am the best with. I can use hammerstones and antler but am more accustomed to the copper. Anyway, their's boppers from 1 1/4" all the way down to 1/2". The bigger one's are for heavy spalling and busting those cobbles in half, also have a copper hammer there that I use for the same thing - made that after seeing one similar at a knap in, the copper head is loose and rotates 360 - that way you can wear it down evenly on both ends all the way around.
  Their's a couple of Ishi sticks in there, a smalll hand flaker - for edge work and notching, a hand pad, etc. All made by me cuzz I can't see paying the prices most suppliers want when I can do it myself - thought this might help.

Ladies and Gentleman,    I would like to apologize for my message that I posted above.  I wrote the message in haste thinking it was funny but realized now that it was totally inappropriate.  I told my wife what I wrote and she was completely mortified.  I hope everyone will forgive me and not hold it against me.  Thanks and Sorry.

[DanaM]

And here I thought I was good at putting my foot in my mouth
Plead insanity brought on by the sight of all that rock
I don't think any permanent damage was done
to err is human, god knows none of is perfect

[Hillbilly]

And to think of the millions of dollars wasted on viagra every year...............

[mullet]

    I'm really glad you apologized,I was wringing my hands and like your wife mortified and shocked.I almost couldn't look at the picks of the other honey hole without dredging up that awful visual.Almost scarred for life.
