PRIMITIVE AXES, CELTS, AND TOMOHAWKS (Read 12090 times)

Bill Skinner Slinging.org Moderator Forum Moderator Slinging Rocks! Posts: 1343	Re: PRIMITIVE AXES, CELTS, AND TOMOHAWKS Reply #60 - Mar 9^th, 2011, 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.

Paleoarts Interfector Viris Spurii it don't mean a thing if you aint got that sling! Posts: 1985 Gender:	Re: PRIMITIVE AXES, CELTS, AND TOMOHAWKS Reply #61 - Mar 9^th, 2011, 10:25am i am using power tools, Bill, for the simple fact that i don't have the time to hand peck them. i've done it before the old-fashioned way and it works great, but you're right, it takes FOREVER! the slate i'm turning into ulus, neolithic daggers, and spear heads. i should have some pictures by weeks end.

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
