Sat with my knapping buddy and mentor Mike Cook and the new Native Culture Center in Whitehall, Michigan .  Mike gave knapping demos all day. Me , I watched and tried to learn some more knapping techniques.  They asked if we could get a group together and put on some bow making demo's in the future.  This is a great new place open to the public.

Got a 22 mile bicycle ride in this morning before 90 degrees hits us today. Going on a week long bicycle trek next week and the extended forecast is mid 80's all week.

Got back from our bike ride.  We got in 330 miles last week.  Wife and I spent our 44th wedding anniversary last Friday riding 50 miles and then having a great lunch in Harbor Springs.

Couldn't have asked for a better Morning to be on the water ! I'd like to come back to this Lake during Hard Water season and try for some 'Gills.

The batteries died for my old Dewalt drill so I cobbled up this. It was a 14.4 volt drill so the 12 volts from my battery charger slows it down some. I put a light dimmer in the charger which slows it down to a good working speed. I've found a few things it's good for beside cresting. It works for wrapping the front and back of the fletching and behind the point. I always file a slight groove in the arrow for the tip wrapping. It makes it easier to get them out of the target. I can file the groove and then wrap it all in one step. I mounted my feather burner to it. Unfortunately If I turn the voltage up for the burner the drill goes too fast. So I turn it by hand for burning. Because of the large reduction in the drill it doesn't free wheel so I had to make a slip joint to keep it aligned for burning. If I had steady hands I wouldn't need all this stuff but you do what you got to.

What a slick idea DC! I would love to be able to make something like that. I've made a feather burner. But a arrow crester from a Dewalt drill, man I wish I could do that. And I have an old drill to. Patrick
