Just a small sample of what keeps me sane.  Sorry the pictures aren't that good.  I love to grab an antler or rock and start banging or chipping on another rock,  or glass,  it calms me.  And nothing makes your worst problems disappear like a sharp piece of flint or glass embedded in your hand. Sorry, no pictures of blood spurting from a fresh wound.

Nice stuff well done. I tried it once. Studied it and started trying it.In no time I had flint flying. I was barefoot and stepped on a flake and drove it into my left foot. I thought I pulled it out   help.
 Xrays showed nothing, foot doctor scheduled surgery,,,, enscapulated now way up in between all the tendons. Been a year some days it hurts more than others. I wonder if the  ancients had the same woes. Maybe someday I shall try again until then I enjoy seeing your work.  thumbsup

Most people are born as hunters in one way or another. Does it not make sense that we gather as well. Enjoy the hunt and gather wisely.

Nice work pronghorn. I know what you mean, there's something about knapping that just eases my mind. The sounds of the flakes coming off a spall, the instant results, very satisfying hobby. It's also piece of mind knowing that if tshtf you can make your own survival tools like the ancients once did.

    Yep very serious. After hiking a couple of miles or a couple of bouts of Sabre I walk with my toes curled to keep the pressure off it. Miserable crazy. dontknow
