Anybody else read Snow Crash? Remember the big scary Aleut who likes to steal warheads from nuclear submarines using only his canoe and handmade glass knife? Remember how, when you first read that book, you kinda wanted to be that guy? Well, Iโm here telling you: Itโs not too late to become the baddest mango-farmer in the world. After all, even Raven had to start somewhere, and apparently chipping an arrowhead out of bottle glass is the โhello worldโ of the flintknapping user community. Mike Melbourne and Tim Rastโs venerable tutorial shows you how.
