Exploring JOHN and PAULS views sensibly

[NorthernRaider]

Hand operated presses number in their thousand and even many are in service today that are decades old, its not just novelty coin presses but things like hand operated die presses, portapower presses, bearing presses etc and on average with these things we can nock out an arrow head every few seconds. They take almost no maintenance to keep going.

I think we DO need to have the skills to nap flints because its a very useful skills esp as napped flints and volcanic glass still produce the sharpest edges for micro surgery, the NHS still uses micro scalpels made from napped materials where ultra precise small cuts are needed, steel scapels and lasers are not suitable.

Skills like FLETCHING are going to require mastering as well, I don't know how to fletch an arrow OR make a bow string, so I think we all have many skills we need to be looking at.
