A Handbook of Aboriginal Skills

As a founding member and longtime board member of the Society of Primitive Technology, Steve contributed to the Bulletin in many ways, the most visible of which were his regular illustrations and clear concise way of presenting important concepts.
This book is an incredible collection of those contributions, plus other handouts which were never published, all in one place.

Many are writing tributes and stories about his life and the profound influence that he had in shaping their journey. He is being honored far and wide and all that he taught to so many and that those students and mentees of his then taught to others. Sincere gratitude for all that he has given to to the skills community!
Son of late Olin and Daphine Dellinger Watts, teacher, philosopher, craftsman, lifelong boy scout, artist, interpreter, author, poet, philanthropist, musician, advocate, historian, movie and television consultant, loving husband, father and grandfather, and everyone's favorite hippie, passed away unexpectedly yet peacefully at Carolina's Medical Center in Charlotte, NC.
His Legacy will continue through his students from the Schiele Museum of Natural History in Gastonia where he was employed for over 30 years, and through his workshops he conducted all over the world.
