My dad loved to collect ancient artifacts and he wanted to learn how to make them for himself. He studied the art of flint knapping and made his own tool kit.

This is the stuff stacked behind my door to the outside. The file cabinet has some supplies, the compressor was for my carving tool but I've never had it out of the box. Underneath the table there are rolling carts with supplies for flintknapping, soldering, gold leaf, huichol beading, embossing and repousse, oil paints, mosaics and branding.
