Posts: 1416	Re: PRIMITIVE AXES, CELTS, AND TOMOHAWKS Reply #60 - Mar 9^th, 2011 at 9:50am Are you doing peck and grind or are you using power tools? If you have power tools, I would use them. Pecking and grinding is not hard but it takes so long to make anything. What are you making out of the slate, atlatl weights and bannerstones? Or an ulu? I made some ax heads, they did not last long.

Using power tools, how long does it take to make a celt? I am including polishing, it seems to take as long to polish the celt as it does to make it. Bill
