""RE: Exploring JOHN and PAULS views sensibly
Not really NR as you get better at knapping you can start to make points that are very similar in weight and form, it's just experience and knowledge of your material. But you are correct in a way; that is points made from metals can be far more consistent with the tools to process them, but they will take you longer to make from scratch. ""

As always TH I bow to your expertise on these issues, Remember how I mentioned the book where they beat copper coins into arrow heads, One American chap said he had a device that was like a flywheel driven die press, you hand cranked it and it could reshape coins into other things, (I think we have all seen them in fairgrounds where you pay 50 pence and put a two pence coin into a receiver, turned the handle and its squashes the coin into something else) He said he could very easily make up a simple die and punch for that type of machine to stamp out either push on arrow heads or alternatively squash em flat into a two bladed broadhead design. Food for thought?
