Leather strips, fiber...

[TheNoobKing 2]

I think it's funny that you can just stick a flint on a stick and get a tool, you have to connect it somehow, so I was thinking make some plant fibers, vines, or use flint with leather to create leather strips which then you can use to make tools, so you can connect the wood with flint or metal. Or you could use a flint with a stick to make a "tool stick" which can only then be used to create a tool, something like that. Sounds like a great idea to me, maybe it's not? Tell me.

Also before you use flint for your tool you need to sharpen it by using a rock or another flint, destroying one and creating a sharp flint.

ooookay there pal, first, flint tools don't exist anymore.

second, se that double post you just made there, yeah those have been proven to melt/and or send people into a murderous rage, depends on the person.

third, there already was a thread for this somewhere, -digs through mountainous pile of old thread-corpses-

A well made tool doesn't need string if you carve the hole in the head of the tool right (so that it narrows up to the top). Tying a head on with a piece of string is very unstable, as the string is likely to snap (or make the head move out of place).

[TheNoobKing 2]

Ruhl4, I have some experince in that area, you speak the truth, but with stone you are not likely to make a "well made tool", and even if you make a whole leather strips, string or anything like that will make it more secure and durable.

So.... how do you carve the hole then? With bones from an animal or antlers from deers/moose?

You couldn't possibly use the sharp tool head you just made. That would be ridiculous

I didn't really mentioned anything about sharpening a tool (unless I didn't get your post); I was mentioning how is Steve going to puncture a hole into the stone for the stick to be attached to.

Ah, I see. I understand now. Lol, soz.

[kotoroshinoto 97]

the point i've made many times comes into play here, most early stone tools did not have wood handles. those that did have some kind of rod component, did not HAVE holes, they had attachment points to lash the stone onto the stick. (like arrowheads/stone-tipped-spears/javelins)

stone knives really ought not need sticks, because they wouldnt have needed sticks, just grab the stone and cut.

But for those tools that WOULD need it, (axes) strips would make sense, but probably just annoy people.
