Kinda addressing your thoughts with different post here.  Yes the dowel vs the antler hold did hurt my hand when I switched and the top of my forearm hurt like heck when I spalled large stone with the large moose antler so I switched to hammer stone and the problem disappeared.

@ 'Outback'; make sure you're not using modern abraders w/ abo knapping. There are people who do well w/ that approach but it's easy to make platforms too heavy. Watch videos by 'flintknapping tips' and Lucas Nicholson. They use hammerstones to make platforms w/ a technique called 'schrunching'.
