Title: Stolen Tools
Post by: GooseGossett on July 02, 2017, 04:26:15 pm

So to make a long story short... or long story long.  A little over a year ago I was sharing my time and tools with a buddy who worked with me.  He would come over and we would make lots of gravel and just shoot the breeze.  I was heading on a vacation and lent him my tools for the week I was gone.  In that week his car was broken into and they took everything including my things (tools, preforms, rocks, and my leather).  I don't lend things ever expecting them to return and they didn't.  It's taken me that long to replace them and just starting this past weekend scraping off the rust.  My goal is a dozen arrows for hunting season and so far I have a few started.  I'm always looking but just now I can get back to posting

Good deal. You can't keep a good knapper down.
Looks like Brewertons.

Glad you got set back up again. It doesn't take me very long to get rusty, and always takes awhile to knock it all off. Looks like you're on you way.
