Title: A Few More Points
Post by: madcrow 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.

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.
