thank you :)

[billythehobbit]

how long did it take in real time?

[BrebisSanglante]

about half an hour for the knapping (and a lot more for the wood carving)

Kewl! I always thought that churt was a soft rock that would break really easily. There is a churt-pit behind the house where I grew up. We could bust rocks, there, really easily, & the dirt really packs hard! Not much likes to grow in churt! Do you find that churt rock does better than flint or quartz or some of the other stones. Where would I find obsidian? I understand it is real good for flintknapping.

[FlintKnappingDreams]

@bigman20640 in my perspective i find it easier to look up instructional videos and teach ur self

[americanmademachines]

Very cool. It is a pleasure to watch a craftsman doing their thing.
