Rootbeer bottle?

[Nugefan]

Thanks Dude .....

talk to our friend Nick ......

that is the man with patience .....

for my first one I thought it was worth postin' ....

 

[Al33]

Lookin' good Andy!!! No doubt you are really getting into the knapping thing. Looking forward to seeing any points you make from flint.

Keep up the good work dude! Be careful, that Nicodemus fella will have you makin' glue and startin' fires.

 

[bam_bam]

great start way to go

 

[dutchman]

Looks good, Nuge...

 

[Adirondacker]

That is sharp. Great another reason for me to drink root beer.

 

[Nicodemus]

Not bad at all!! Keep at it Andy.I wish my first one looked that good! Glass is a good material to practice on. Phillips Milk of Magnesia bottles make a purty point too.

 

[Nicodemus]

A few more comments. Andy, save that point and put it up in a safe place. My first point is floatin` around out there somewhere and I would give a purty penny to have it back.
I`m impressed with the depth of the notches in your point too. Notchin` can be tricky, andf I`ll never admit to how many I`ve snapped in two over the years while notchin` points.
Consider now that you have a spot reserved in front of my lodge next year at the rondyvoo to flintknap for the crowd. I`ll even have some spare stone for you to play with.

Lookin' good, Nuge!

Nick you had better be bringin' something real soft for me ....

I want to see scars, bruises, and blood by next January!! I also want one of your points for my personel collection, your choice to pick out. I`ll make a trade with you for one.

Practice up, the crowd will be watchin` you come January!!!
