This is my boy working on a peice of flint whil we were fishing.  I made him put his glasses back on after the pic.. He is using brass round bar that we had for driving bolts out with.. He really enjoys knapping.. Thanks for looking.

What's not to like...using Dad's tools, breaking things...  Very cool picture.  Wish I'd started at that age.

Start-em young & in a few years he will be teaching you new tricks. Everytime I find a crude or poorly  made point I think of a young kid learning to knap.
