used an exausted axe handle for a punch...cut a base piece off a fresh cut apple tree and made a baton to strike the punch with....wood pressure..ended up with a decent little side notch from a dacite spall..thanks

I second that. It did work out nicely.

When I do indirect percussion (punching), I raise one thigh off my chair and place the butt end of the indirect tool under the thigh and position it so that it sticks our somewhere between my knees. It is easy to position my point/rock under the tip of the tool with one hand while I hit the tool with a club of some kind using the other hand.

Chip,
That sounds like it might smart if you miss! >:D.  Just trying to visualize that contortion!  Probably simple once you see it done, though!
Mike, Looks good, got crabapple, but a bit. Short on axe handles!  Have to try that when I get to knapping.
