Yes!!!!! Bring back these videos Shawn love this content from you!!!!

[@NewAmericanWoodsman]

I Second that!!!!!!!

[@brhino1017]

I third that! Guys don't hold your breath though.

[@akbychoice]

Shawn needs several channels.

[@CaptainMarvelsSon]

It took you a little over a dozen tries to create something that an entire people probably took a generation to master, then ended up with a nice souvenir. I'd call that a Win-Win Nice work.

[@OdachiForge]

Missed these types of videos.

[@tpl608]

As always Shawn, gloves Shawn, gloves. Protect yourself and your family.

[@tpope2044]

Your primitive skills and survival videos are some of my favorite!

Bow hunting for mice is difficult.

[@renterp]

But not impossible…

[@t-wrecks7481]

Imagine what it was like to have to make them all by hand like that. Pretty amazing

[@iseeyou1312]

If it's what you did all day, every day, I imagine you'd be quite proficient at it.

[@t-wrecks7481]

I'm sure, but I still believe you'd get that breakage from time to time and have all the work you've done reduced to a do over, lol@@iseeyou1312

[@JamesKing2understandinglife]

I never knew about the Egyption arrow heads. Congratulations on showing us how to do one.

[@Incandescentiron]

Very cool. Unbelievable how much material is required to get one small arrowhead, and the amount of skill required to actually produce it.

[@zunedog31]

This looks so hard. Great accomplishment.

[@FreeAmericaChannel]

Never seen anyone actually nap an Egyptian arrowhead but you just proved it can be done with some difficulty. All those tiny obsidian shards cut you a bunch of times too. I love the primitive skills videos, keep them coming!

[@jackjackson7365]

My favourite videos from this channel. Appreciate it Shawn!

[@Paleoman52]

Great job Shawn, that is definitely a challenging arrow tip to make. I enjoyed watching you make this.

[@davemcddd]

I like how the more progress Shawn makes, the more bloody the video gets from the wounds on the fingers and hands. Great video!

[@earlyriser8998]

love this old style. Lived in Egypt and have found numerous arrow heads of this and other styles.

[@facesmile4667]

love the content, please don't change. there are not many channels like yours. if you can, keep mousetrapmondays and your obsidian videoss!

[@historymax5479]

There's nothing quite as relaxing and satisfying as handcrafting something like this. Love this vid!

[@kerravonsen2810]

That is so cool. When I'd heard mention of barbed arrowheads, I didn't know they looked like that. And now I do.

[@patheticpotato4545]

I really appreciate and respect the work that goes into such a difficult task. I really look forward to more of your primitive tech videos. It's what originally got me into your channel

[@joshuakelderhouse1827]

I live in the high desert of Arizona. And I love it, and I also waited a long to see your napping video!!😂

[@joshuakelderhouse1827]

This is awesome!!!

[@joshuakelderhouse1827]

Along Time!*

[@__Niels__]

This man has his very own passion in this special kind of project 👀👍🏼🔝

[@billhart2746]

Awesome. I found your other channel years ago. You were making hand made ancient bows and arrow heads. Years later I was in Bio Cleaning and looked up mice remediation. Your House Trap Monday show pipped up. I was thinking you looked very familiar. Finally you mentioned your old channel. Hour Mouse Trap Monday series is wonderful and has helped me in my work.

[@sportsman48]

It's sad to see the challenging and skill videos get less views. No matter what, your content is awesome and appreciated.

[@kentowakai1234]

Loved the video. Eye opening. Think I'm ready for some more fly tying.

[@JakobZinkowski]

Very cool project

[@aryaconnett4845]

You are very skilled and patient! Impressive. Thank you.

[@00Klingon]

This is awesome! This is the content that brought me to this channel originally and I love it! I know it took a lot of work to create, but I would love to see how this performs in something like clear ballistic gel, just to demonstrate what happens when it was used.

[@IvanIvanoIvanovich]

Very impressive work sir, and without any gloves! Nothing more discouraging that breaking one halfway through but your perseverance and positive attitude is an inspiration to anyone in the hobby.

[@thefeatheredfrontiersman8135]

When I finally got my Gunther's down, I realized that everything except the barbs must be finished and sharp. When finishing the barbs, one wrong move and it's over. Always guide each flake away from the center. It's no easy task. Thank you Shawn for reminding me that I am still good at difficult things.

[@GeorgAndexlerAndexler]

Totally awesome,thank you for telling us this information.😅

[@youtube.commentator]

2:28 love seeing the blood, reminds me of all of my attempts.. not just me

[@gerardodwyer5908]

First class effort. A learning curve in ancient arrow making.

[@hispanoalemanhial5204]

So happy to see you making this content again hope to see more great work.

[@paststeve1]

I really enjoy this kind of content as well as the rest of your content. Thanks Shawn!

[@rgbii2]

Maybe one day we'll discover how they made them with less breaking. I wonder if they used a wood clamp or brace. What ever it was, seems like it was made of something that didn't last through the ages.

[@cecilnewman666]

I still have a decent size chunk of obsidian my brother gave me I need to try to flint knap. So I'm very interested in more how to's on the subject!

[@theyoungoutdoorsman5814]

So glad the primitive vids are back!

[@airford13]

this was very cool! hope to see more in the future!!

[@TheTribeOfBenjamin]

Nice to see you crafting, Shawn! God bless…. Ben

[@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday]

Thanks Ben, I really enjoyed watching your primitive bowl and arrowhead hunting videos.

[@checkmatekingtwothisiswhit7685]

You're supposed to push the arrow through to get it out. Thanks Shawn

[@ldwhitehorn2560]

My hats off to your accomplishments. Enjoyed watching the video

[@eamonahern7495]

It looks like some of the flakes that came off would have made good arrowheads themselves.

[@spasticmuse4262]

WOW! What a treat for a Friday! This was fascinating - I've never seen hollow base flintknapped arrowheads(obsidian or otherwise) before. I can't imagine they were a common use head with the amount of work and time it takes to make just one! I'm a very patient, detail-oriented maker but I'd have a psychotic breakdown trying to do that. This was watching a true craftsman ply his skills. Bravo & thanks so much for sharing!!!!

[@Technoanima]

I am so sorry i missed your videos for so long!!! KZbin literally didnt recommend you even when i have set the alarm to all notifications.

[@dennisatkins9837]

Yes! Love your flint knapping videos. I also liked your iceman videos.

[@Shahanshah67]

HE’S BACK!!!!

[@phillyfathead]

Very, very interesting!

[@sebastiank1714]

Highly appreciated!

[@johnlord8337]

Modern archaeology talks abourt Paleo-llithic, Meso-lithic, and Neo-lithic stone shapes. But in all of thes flint knapping or other knapping techniques, you don't find pottery, porcelain, and ceramics being archaeological digs - Why not !!! To me, all those hard scrapers were not for meat cutting, etc - but were actually used for being butt scrapers !!! Recycle broken pottery et al - incliuding obsidian etc ... into butt scrapers (not paper butt wipe tissues) - and all of these garbage items were recycled into these sanitary items everybody carried with them. Just use and cleanly wipe off, put back into pouch until next time. So the real stateement is Paleo-butt scrapers, Meso-butt scrapers, and Neo-butt scrapers eras !!!

[@cadburybunny]

Wow very cool. Felt a little like watching an Segment from "Time Team" that was dedicated to flint knapping. Very Impressive too!

[@rodbennettakakampzite5448]

This type of content is what got me to subscribe! More please!

[@ludi2shoes]

Now that was cool.

[@aaronsonger5582]

Great video. I liked the first thumbnail you had up with all the different heads.

[@THEMANWITHTHEYELLOWHAT.]

Yes please more of these

[@thenewberrym.c.914]

I really like your knapping skills.

[@ImCRO]

yasssssss! dude more arrow head vids finally!

[@sac58999]

I’d try playing with obsidian, but was a bit traumatized by playing with it in childhood (or maybe adolescence)… that’s some sharp rock!

[@ImpendingJoker]

This is how I originally found your channel. You were making an arrowhead out of a piece of a glass bottle.

[@revolutionhamburger]

"And now we're going to try this out the finished product on the mice in the barn."

[@syrrix]

flint knapping is how i originally discovered your channel.

[@johnscotland3124]

Great job!

[@deadpotato6333]

Been waiting for arrows I love these vids

[@moonthief869]

Love this. Thanks!

[@ae1tpa92gwtom2]

Always Enjoy Shawns Videos, n I bt 2 Dizzy Dunkers, unfortunately 1 is no longer functional as the mouse ate his way out by eating the cover, my bucket want deep enough

[@jimbolen3599]

Thank you

[@LuckyStone888]

That was amazing

[@valterXIII]

Just awesome!

[@marielg9143]

great video

[@z28pawpaw]

i like all your stuff

[@Smallathe]

Very impressive work :)

[@davepost7675]

They must have had large rats in Egypt back then...lol. Love the video.

[@IcyDaTruth]

You wouldn't want the arrowhead to stay stuck to the shaft. You would want it to break off inside whoever it hit, like what happened to 16yo Henry V during and after the Battle of Shrewsbury.

[@sonicmik]

Nice one!

[@stephenbraun9951]

Loved this

[@davidspinney2023]

Hi Shawn this was fascinating. it would take a lot of patience to make that.

[@rickmeisch643]

If you scored the stone as deep as you could and then chipped it wouldn’t the success be better. I can’t imagine the Egyptians had it that easy to find obsidian

[@JaacobJack007]

Lets go!. For more video's 🎉

[@bushcraftbasics2036]

Well done but I kept getting distracted by how much it looked like a Star Trek badge. 😂

[@PinkLady54]

Will You hunt with it?? Amazing skill Wild Man!! You are a Man head & shoulders above the rest!! I tell ppl about You often & especially the nutria feast & the flame thrower ground wasp nest vids 😍🤣😎 AWESOME!! You Rock! Sending much love & prayers to You & Yours!!

[@THEMANWITHTHEYELLOWHAT.]

I love how your hand get bloody or time

[@zx3215]

No, this is because they had laser cutters they also used for making pyramids!!

[@tpl608]

Try a smaller diameter tool for that center of the wings. A smaller tool as you go into it more.

[@chimbonda99]

Great video. Would the arrowheads be too brittle on impact? Would be good to do some tests

[@gkeyman565]

Great job making and getting that on video, I agree, not a good thing to be shot with !! have a great day

[@douglasrock9414]

Super vid, Shawn! Content is awesome but, let's not forget you have a really great narrators voice. You should do voice overs for other nature or history/ exploration videos. Thank you.

[@bobbystaley6559]

Awesome video Shawn. I don’t have the patience to make an arrow head

[@Onnexzz]

Bros cooking up black tar hero 😂😂

[@ticupponee]

That was very cool, and I'd enjoy seeing more videos like this... although I don't think you should have put it under the Mousetrap Monday heading, because now I'm just sitting here disappointed that you didn't try to hunt rats or gophers with it. 🤣

[@funwithdoka1394]

I love this content ancient egyptian didn't have 3 D printers

[@NomadicHacker.]

Great video, have you considered doing ballistics gel testing with them also you can get ballistics gel rabbits and things might be interesting to use in some trap testing. Keep up the good work 👍

[@josephkupina120]

Id love to see how it flies.

[@simonhopkins3867]

Ever since the Aliens took all their technology away with them and went home. 😉 Nice work Shaun. 👍🏻🖖🏻

[@snowballil3133]

Never seen a chunk of obsidian that big

[@kevanharmon8018]

they may have used a stone wheel to slowly chip the groove out.

[@ethericbliss23]

So... was a "copper nail" standard issue for arrow makers "back in the day"? ; ) Yeah, this is a craft, just like any other. Once y'all have completed a thousand or so of these things then MAYBE you'll have the muscle memory an finesse to crate a flawless arrow head. :D Not something that one just picks up and makes happen. Thanks for sharing. : ) Cheers!!

[@JoyBrennecke]

Like your handycrafts, gloves might be a good idea. Keep it up!

[@kirkanos3968]

Need that fine touch, more wondering if wearing eye protection don't want a chip of anything in your eye.

[@gregoryfilin8040]

Hey Shawn, looking at this, its both a weapon of war, and one of intimidation, and one of prestige. Intriguing and deadly things, aren't they?

[@flyingsodwai1382]

Back to your roots... awesome! Is it normal to start with such a huge piece for a single arrowhead?

[@billparrish4385]

Hi Shawn, great video! Not sure if you'll see or answer this, but your description of the barbs' effect on the victim got me to wondering: With all obsidian or even flint arrowheads, wouldn't small flakes possibly break off in the wound? So if a hunter were killing game meat for supper, would they have to discard the wound tract in the butchering, to avoid feeding their family glass shards?

[@vikingskuld]

I want to see you make a little bow and arrow mouse trap lol that would be cool as hel.

[@kolalawawokiya]

Never give up. You must fail before you can succeed.
