For the sub par points to still make a little money

Nice Tracker, I've got a drawer full of them I should do that to. I'm thinking that might be a good project for our 4-H group. I could donate the points. All the kids could with some help make the necklaces. Then the group could sell them at the fund raising auction.

I work for 4-H here in GA.

Those are some very nice points and necklaces.

I bought push pins and glued them to the really bad side and gave them out to my grandkids for their caps.

Another good idea I might try Jeb.
Good for you Paulc, a very worthy organization.
Tracker those are some pretty nice sub par points but I think I know what you mean. I have a bunch that look ok pretty nice but I wouldn't hunt with them.

Yeah I guess I could choose a better word. I match all of mine same weight and try same length/height. Also if they have thin spots in the middle they get a no vote. So they aren't sub par, just not fit for hunting points. Thanks for the compliments! I'm trying to figure out if I could do free classes or something but I dunno about kids and breaking glass

Contact a plumber in your area and let him know your planning a knapping class for kids. Tell him you need as many old or damaged toilet tanks as he can get. "Thunder chert" is a much safer material for the more youthful beginners.  Offer to put the plumber's business info on your advertising fliers and any notes you might hand out to your class as a thank you.
