Hi, glad to meet ya.

I have meet Reno Chris and read a lot of his very informative post. I just thought I would bug him first.

I was just thinking about adding general info for all users.

To post a picture.>> At the bottom of the writing area when you are posting is "Add image to post" in tan brown letters. Just click it, and then its fairly easy.

Hi Dirty Steve,
Thanks for the help on posting pictures. This is just one of the Knives I build out of stone. The blade is Piute Agate and the handle is Onyx. If members would like to see more of my work just let me know and I will post more. I have lots to share here.

I sold this one and should have kept it,but it's hard to pass up 200 bucks when I can make another one. I have a flintknapping site, but closed it for awhile because it was turning into a JOB.

Everett!

Great to hear from you again!

Hey sorry for the slow reply I've been out prospecting for 4 days (and getting skunked) in Northern California - Just got back into town.

What do you want to know?

So How does Everett become "Dirty Steve" ?

Chris

Hi Chris,

Everett Stephen McLaughlin
I first started out on Bill & Chris G. forums as Everett when I signed up. I really go by Steve. But everyone got to calling me Everett so it kind of stuck.

Dirty Steve is a nick name I picked up many years ago working construction as a foreman. There was an old Mexican guy that always preached at me because about every third word I said was a cuss word. He said I had a dirty mouth and got to calling me Dirty Steve, then everyone picked it up.

5 years in a military academy, then 3 years in the Marines, then 33 years in construction.

Yeah, I can cuss up a storm.

What I wanted to ask was can you show some of the gems and stuff you have to get the "Gem" area going. I thought you had posted on your site or somewhere some of the fancy rocks you had found.

How is your dad doing. I often remember drinking his coffee on those cold mornings at the dam camp area.
