cowboy:
tlee: Here's the hand flaker I made and have been using for years. Broom handle, ground wire (from and old power pole). Drill the holes as deep as your bit will go and cut wire a little longer than that. Put a set screw in the side and you can feed wire out as it gets used. Peice of bailing wire around the end keeps handle from splitting out. Ishi stick the same way ;).
