Knocking off a little rust
« on: June 29, 2011, 10:38:12 am »
I can't remember when the last time I spent any serious time knapping was, but I know it's been a while.  The last couple of times I've tried I broke everything I looked at, so I just sat everything aside for a while and worked on other projects.  Got a little itch the other day that I decided to scratch and managed to knock out a few points.  A couple of these might make the cut for this year's hunting points.

Shoot those look good! I need to just make some hunting points. Ive been concentrating too much on trying to get em stupid thin with nice flake scars and not enough on just making a functional point.

I thought I had said this already, but evidently not.  Anyway, I appreciate it everybody.  For most of the reduction I used this method that some guy named the benadryl midget, or something like that, put on Youtube.  Finally broke down and bought a delrin rod, and it works much better than the dogwood stick I was using.  At the very least it's 100 times more comfortable when I'm wearing shorts.

I know that guy. He's pretty quiet until you get moonshine in him.
