I'm not a "stoner" like you guys, but a couple years ago, when I was breaking in my flintlock, I read somewhere that there are several types of natural stone that can be used if flint isn't available. While I don't recall what those were, an online search ought to turn it up. Also I bought and tried some man made rock substitute that looked much like a machined piece of a carborundum stone. It worked just as well as everything else I tried plus the padded jaws of the cock held it securely. Guys, stop napping and get to knapping!  :laffing

HBD, Hank.  Do something fun, like drilling a hole in a can of black powder, sticking a fuse in it and lighting it and see what happens.  Preferably, do this away from people and buildings.  And make the fuse long enough so you can get out of the blast zone.  I'd probably fill the can with sand and give it a bit of compression as well.
And remember, on your birthday, candy, cookies, cake and ice cream do not have any calories, so you can eat as much as you want without worrying about calories.

Happy Birthday, Russ.
It sure was good seeing you and Jan last year.  Will have to do it again someday.

Kev, there is a couple in Southern Idaho that deals in flints, I think they're somewhere around Lewiston, I think! I bought 3 dozen rocks from them at the ML show in Enumclaw at 2 bux a piece, they carry black and amber rocks I will try to get their contact info for you.
