Title: some more help on the way
Post by: keekeerun on March 09, 2008, 08:35:40 pm

I ordered D.C. Waldorfs The art of flint knapping dvd.  Some of my points are coming out alright, but I'm having trouble thinning the spalls out. I tried using an antler billet, had some luck but hopefully I'll learn something new from the dvd
