First Attempt at ArrowHead Knapping

[geron]

Always did want to git shot with a beer bottle. Git shot then git shot again.

Pretty neat.
Good skill to have.

northenbc, I've never bowfished yet. When I fish the primitive way this is way I do it!




Geron, I may need to make you some arrowheads out of old whiskey bottles if you want some shots huh? That's funny but it does give me a good idea!

Thanks Offtrail. And yes I gotta wear my seeing eyeglasses to do almost anything anymore! I'm not able to wear proper safety glasses over those so I'm thinking about one of those face shield things. Also gonna make up a proper leather leg pad too.

I sorta thought about that T.J. but there are sooo many really good ones out there already by folks that are much much better than I am I just passed on the idea. But if you guys are interested I would be up for putting one together so that the members here could see how a true beginner is trying to learn.
If you guys are interested lemme know??? I'm all up for a video.

That's good because glass has to be the hardest material to get out of the eye, it's very hard to find. Don't forget about goggles they fit over glasses also and will not fog up.

When you feel comfortable about it you should do the video. Yes there are others out there and yest they are pretty good.

But you have a very easy way of explaining things so we understand and we know you and know if you can do it we can.

For all we know them other videos were made by the world champion arrowhead marker and we'll never to be able to do what they do.

I am impressed.

Good job! It looks beautiful and just like the real thing too, uuuups I don’t think they bottle Coca-Cola anymore, just cans. I’m also impressed.

[tjwilhelm]

Yup, yup, yup!!! Video, please. It will be good for beginners to see another beginner learning how from practical effort.

[wtrfwlr]

Thanks a ton guys! I'm super glad that ya'll are having fun with it too. I spent some time today building some more tools. I'll post the photos of them here in a little while.

That's a good point woodyz. Lookling at it like that I will start putting something together and we'll have a video up in a day or so (hopefully)

I guess the we posted over one another T.J. But yes I'll get crakin on a video

Thank you kind sir.

I have a question to ask you about these tools I am building. I will have a thread up as soon as I am done with my supper. It will show better what I am doing and what my query is.
