Making a Neolithic polished axe. *EPISODE 19* (65-70 hours of grinding).

I love it when I randomly discover a diamond in the rough.

[@flint.farmer]

Thank you. 🙂

[@Zane-It]

Truly a work of art you do a good job dude.

[@flint.farmer]

Much appreciated, thank you. 🙂

Amazing stuff mate. Massive respect for the patience needed to grind this thing to completion. Not long now!

[@flint.farmer]

Always a little bit closer! 😁 Thank you my friend. 👍

[@furrycircuitry2378]

Amazing axe must be a load on your arms to polish in such a way but the outcome is a generous reward!! Keep it up!!

[@flint.farmer]

Thank you very much. Yes you don't want to do to long in one session. Good exercise though! 😉 And yes I'm not aware of many alive who have taken on the authentic journey from start to finish.... And it's quite clear why! 😁

I didn’t know you can do this with flint.

[@flint.farmer]

Indeed. In the UK the Neolithic people (circa 5k years ago) developed the technique of grinding some flint tools. (For multiple beneficial reasons....visual and practical).

[@Zane-It]

I wish to know more about peck and grind tool making and I have to many questions about your setup and techniques to fit in the comments section.

[@flint.farmer]

Unfortunately I don't think you can pm on KZbin can you? I think that most of my process is shown on my channel. Feel free to ask anything specific. I do concentrate on the fabrication of UK lithics.

[@joaomarcos7394]

what rock is this? obesidian or aodosian?

[@flint.farmer]

It's flint from Suffolk, UK.

🤔, looks like u scratched a beautifully polished ancient artifact by pretending to manufacture it yourself. Why the ugly scratches in the end?
