[@alexmanning8710]

It's an amazing demonstration of years of work in about 20 min. Our ancestors were skilled beyond belief and you sir, have shown me a glimpse of that skill! Excellent video!

[@clarklindquist8137]

I too want to learn the ancient ways and am waiting for the green light to utilise a small patch of land where I can practise as you do . Much love from south wales my friend, and I hope you dont stop making these videos.

[@PeterSmithwoodsmith]

[@WillLordPrehistoricSurvival]

I look forward to meeting you some day Pete, Cheers

[@leojonssonskywell1409]

Awesome video!!! Followed :)

[@oligultonn]

Do not take this the wrong way but your voice does not match your looks, which was infact a very pleasant surprise as your voice is very calming and pleasant to the ears. Made this video 10x more educational and fun!

[@pafanto]

Действительно потрясающе. Удивительно насколько неслучайны результаты ударов Уилла. Все просчитано. Опытным путем. Одним словом - эксперт!

[@TheGreatest1974]

What an absolutely superb axe you made. You are very skilful. Thanks for a great video! 👍👍

[@edalmeida1218]

Sure is cool to see you both working together and having such fun. I follow you both on IG and dearly enjoy your content. Respectfully yours.

[@WillLordPrehistoricSurvival]

Thanks Ed

[@HalfQ]

Stunning work, I loved watching that happen m8. ty

[@Dandunu]

You excellent fella. Very cool. Beautiful bit of flint. I live on the south downs and that is what we get. I've just started in the hope of making something good looking out of that stuff.

[@281covfefe5]

#FlintAxe #FlintKnapping Always enjoy learning with Will ! 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@wadeadkins4927]

Mr. Will Lord, I find your knapping videos o be very instructive and informing. That said, I admit to having some confusion about the angle to hold the flint, the angle to strike the flint, the resulting frature's angle, and setting up striking platforms. Please, would it be possible to do a video where you diagram these important fundamentals with a marker on paper, and back the diagrams up with real world knapping demonstrations? I imagine I am not your only viewer who is confused about these questions. Thanks for bringing the ancient skill to KZbin for us to learn, practice, and enjoy!

[@WillLordPrehistoricSurvival]

Hello Sir this would help you with the questions you have www.will-lord.co.uk/product/the-nature-and-subsequent-uses-of-flint-by-john-lord/

[@mikedickson6362]

I lock for Indian Arrowheads and I found an axe when I was 15 I'm 47 now still have it

[@caninedrill_instructor5861]

Its nice to see your aplomb when the arrowhead flake went to pieces in your hand.

[@grimm2085]

Gteat videos, excellent instruction, thank you for sharing your knowledge, God Bless You Good Sir

[@ZyonSigil]

I wonder Will Lord is it possible to make a flint pipe as in a tobacco pipe not to endorse it or anything just could be a little challenge if it's possible

[@meyo4158]

I just learned a technique to take care of my box of "turtle backs" ive created

[@raymondjakeman5649]

Mister lord may be i can ask you a good question please. I have been a woodsman after my grandfather for many a year but why can't we live of our mother earth like the old ways . Awesome videos prim life all the way 👌👍✌

[@WillLordPrehistoricSurvival]

Raymond Jakeman we can all add a little bit in mate and it brings us a little closer to the type of world we dream of

[@bettygreenhansen]

Totally mesmerized by the antiquity of this activity! One can imagine ancestors of old doing just the same. So skilled! How did you come to acquire your tools? Did you make them yourself? I would love to hear more details about everything you’re using and doing. Especially loved your expression, “song of the stone”! I have a thing for wind chimes and that’s one of the first things I noticed about your flint knapping: the beautiful melody it creates. PS BLOOD OFFERING AT THE END!!! Appropriate!!!!

[@WillLordPrehistoricSurvival]

Bless your heart thanks for commenting and yes I made all the tools I used 😎

[@keithbill310]

Youhave a mastery of the Hammer .. and stone and you must have a good feel for the shape.... I hope you en joy yhis video below about canadian pre historic people

[@Finn-uz2fv]

Looking nice

[@Lonewoodsmandan]

Great job my friend 🏕

[@heyarno]

Now I feel quite silly for trying to grind a flint into shape.

[@lesliestevenson5261]

Brilliant! This just got me to sub!

[@citronellapianos6744]

Neolithic airplanes!

[@brandonwalker7932]

This may be an odd question, but would prehistoric man have made gloves? With how laborious day-to-day life would have been for them, wouldn't they have had need for some sort of hand protection (outside of naturally-forming calluses)?

[@owensoto1373]

I'm not an expert, but I know that Native Americans in Texas used Rawhide and leather wrapped around their hands when they were flint-knapping or foraging through mesquite trees for pods and in other situations where sharp or jagged things could possibly tear up their hands. Though I am curious about other groups using that method around the world and even in the Americas.

[@hunterhostler1345]

Can you explain exactly what you're doing and why your doing it more. Why for instance you take off each flake

[@jonshepherd2550]

Only just found your channel are you doing courses next summer

[@WillLordPrehistoricSurvival]

Jon Shepherd2 yes mate I have just listed some new ones www.will-Lord.co.uk 👍

[@maytagmark2171]

At 19:45 you finally got into the shots we need to really see whats happening.

[@hunterhostler1345]

In what situation do you use an antler hamer, and witch do you use a stone hammer

[@danielflintknapping]

A stunning axe! Do you sell soft hammers or know someone who does and ships to Sweden?

[@WillLordPrehistoricSurvival]

Daniel I afraid I don’t mate you could google the highland horn company he may sell you some

[@СеменСеменовичГорбунков-з9ь]

Молодец👍

[@NikosKatsikanis]

the hardest part of this, is actually finding flint

[@bettygreenhansen]

I found a huge flint bulb amongst quarried limestone recently.

[@NikosKatsikanis]

@@bettygreenhansen gg

[@thecypherworks]

That's just a case of knowing where to look. The hardest thing is knowing what to do with it once you found it.

[@brennoncantrell5867]

I know the process of polishing the axe down is quite long but I’d love to at least see some of the process and stones used for polishing axes..

[@gramursowanfaborden5820]

where did Scott get the Blue Elvan from?

[@WillLordPrehistoricSurvival]

Gramersow from the Cumbrian mountains

[@julianosilva8620]

[@fischerkrull7516]

20:33 oof I know how you feel... It sucks when you smash your finger with an antler

[@foxmulder7616]

How do I get a good hammer stone? What's a good kind of rock to use? Thanks.

[@superjeffstanton]
