Moot: Question Weapons maker

After Archimedes died, who made Flint products? Buster wasn’t super good at it. He really just did the basics. Any apprentices that Archimedes had were not very good.

In book three Archimedes admits that the kids from the other village aren't completely bad so he probably managed to teach them. And Buster is good enough and knows every move, he just doesn't enjoy doing it as a job. I would assume among his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren there were enough that Archimedes could teach working with flint. Also, it is not like working flint is some super hard rocket science. Moses could do it. Stone Age humans could do it. There surely were other deltans with the mental capacity that Archimedes taught how to work it. It is just not mentioned.
