Hmmm. Now where did I stash my copper boppers?

Really nice videos, Mike. I have never seen a flint knapping video that was better. Thanks for making it and sharing it with all of us.

Well good I was hoping it would benefit some one.
It made the whole experience of flint lock shooting more interesting and fun. It also makes me wonder why I have any cap guns at all! :rotf:
