Title: Locked outta the House.
Post by: Tower on June 21, 2012, 01:07:14 pm

Literally. I walked out locked my keys in the house. So I'm not feeling as smart as I did when I woke up.  With the house & truck locked (knapping tools in it) I decided to spend some time on the back porch. On the lawn table sat my daughters abo tools, I won't let her use copper.  I broke a lot of points before things started making sense. Its still in the early stages, & I think I'm gonna Finish it abo.  Wahoo the calvery is here I can go to work now. Dadgum it.  Tower

nice work with the abo tools.. I have a little set i made my boy.  He is only 4 but he can do pretty good, when he focuses on what he is doing.  Most the time he is just hitting a rock random like me.

Well my bout with abo tools went south on me. I found that many of the tools need a little work done to them. The hardest was pressure flaking with a crooked tine. I think I'll fix them up right before I try again. Tower
