Will Lord making a Neolithic Flint Axe Head

This is a video where you get to see flint knapping in detail and very much straight to the point content

[@Ith4qua]

What I love about flint knapping is that you know 1000% that neolithic knappers when they got a good flake put it back where it came just for the serotonin boost. Very satisfying.

[@loonatic7]

"Who the hell am I gonna vote for? None of them can knap!" lol Please I want to watch more videos of you knapping :)

[@Chalksbeehaviour]

A few months ago you inspired me to start knapping and I can't get enough of it....thanks for the ancient lessons now all I need is good flint

[@kevinsilverthorn5235]

It’s totally therapeutic to watch somebody with your skill level,

[@freestylebagua]

Something quite nice about the axe shapes, perhaps there is an innate psychological affinity we've developed, like we have for throwing in a parabolic arc. Perhaps an appreciation of automobile bodies or the like would be derived from it.

[@davebradshaw2537]

Thanks so much for this. As a woodsman woodcarver who uses hand tools I really appreciated watching you work, how you were reading the grain of the flint. A fine piece of work Sir, and a pleasure to watch.

[@haritchie3460]

We may see a big rock. Now. Will Lord . Yes it's big axe also. In his hands it's beautiful

[@Jarastlad]

Vote for the Flintstones. First hand belgian flint for everyone ! (Archaeologist here, great work ! Really enjoyed watching you knap !). Keep it up

Nice flakes, enjoy your work

[@davelatimer69]

Again you've brightened my day and shown you are the best knapper on KZbin that I've seen. The pols will need you when they've mucked it up worse. Dont teach them😎

Also love to hear the sound the flakes make when they hit the floor!!

Brilliant, what an ending, hilarious!

[@kimleebold7822]

You make this look too easy. Amazing. Loved this one. Really calming to watch your vids. I think it’s because of the sounds it makes.. no back ground music. Just the sound of flint.

Fantastic once again Will. Im loving your channel. Slowly working my way through all your videos. please keep them coming. Happy knapping. I would vote for you. ;)

Killer knapping Will!!! That English flint looks like fun to knap! Wish we had some lol

Are you sure your name isn't Art? That looked like of a work of art to me. Cheers man!

[@TalRohan]

I'm hoping you put up a video of using it...lovely work Thanks for sharing I would love to know where to get some decent sized flint from though

[@WillLordPrehistoricSurvival]

It not easy to find these days mate I’m sorry to say

[@TalRohan]

@@WillLordPrehistoricSurvival Thanks I think perhaps I will stick to my wrought iron and carbon steels...If I find some flint I'll give it a go, but I do know when to put an idea on the back burner.

[@tommyvinson6]

I like watching you knapp.

[@randomnamesoicanfindmyself3123]

I wonder how homo erectus worked the wooden points of his javelins (spears) because they didnt have this advanced adze and so on, just flakes and handaxe

[@ArtificialMisery]

[@TraitorVek]

Cheers Will! :)

[@Loki_Dokie]

You're so down to earth with great confidence. I found some flint(I think) here recently in North Carolina, it is light gray outside and a smidge darker inside. Would you know what kind that is off the top of your head, or should I get someone around here look at it? Thanks for all of your efforts and skill, I hope to start learning myself soon. Much love.

[@jimbenge9649]

Loved watching that lump rock become become a stone tool in no time. Now go and elect your chieftain. ;-)

[@unknownuser2737]

Not trying to be a wise guy but why do you guys call those axes? Here in the states we call those celts. Don't you guys have hard stones? We find a few Flint axes here in the Midwest. They have notches for tying onto a shaft. 95% of our axes are made up of what we call hard stones. I have two flint celts. That I find on some of my campsites. They're about 5 in Long and one and a half inches in diameter. They can almost be called chisels. I'm just curious! Love your work I've been a flint napper for 31 years. When I first started we didn't know it was called Flint napping. And there was absolutely no literature , videos or nothing to teach us. I'm envious of the new nappers they have videos and everything. Hope you have a real nice day.

[@rickyjackson4307]

Mr Lord, how much would you charge me for a nice large piece of flint like the one you started out with in this Video, sent to Montgomery Alabama USA

[@gabeerspamer3979]

Why do you have your hammerstone marked with three lines Will?

[@gabeerspamer3979]

Also as always it’s a treat watching your videos. Helps me to refine my own knapping skills (I’m still learning but have been self taught for six years).

[@gabeerspamer3979]

And if you are curious I’ve had the most experience knapping basalt since where I live is absent of flint and other stones high in silica though I have minimally worked with quartz and quartzite.

What about independent candidates? I figure they're the best chance of slowing the flood of innappropriate building development that is washing across the English countryside.

Fish Freak try glass if you can’t get anything else mate

[@YesirnGaming]

Chert, Big panels of old TV glass, toilets are knappable (Porcelain I believe), bottoms of bottles, I've seen ceramic tiles be worked before but they definitely do not seem beginner friendly.

[@WillWalterPhotography]

Loving the videos man, i am trying to get into knapping but i am wondering what type of rock do i strike the flint with, if anyone has any suggestions that would be great!

[@chuckhenry4059]

Will Walter Photography A quartzite hammerstone for hardness and a more gritty sandstone for later work. Size depends on the size of flint you are working. The bigger nodules will need a bigger hammer and so on as it gets smaller. Then switch to antler billet once it’s getting thinned down
