even 7 years later this is still exciting to rewatch, truly an educational and instructional video on knapping and working flint

Very truly I would love to be your apprentice Will!! Your the best knapper/ survivalist I've seen on KZfaq. If you were to ever develop a tribe I'd want to be in it for sure. Thanks for all the great info and video's.

Cool. Fascinating as. Thanks mate

Another fantastic video my friend! Thank you

I love how will can make these great pieces with ease, meanwhile I can't even make a sharp rock

Thanks for sharing Will, nice video!

Loving this series!

Excellent.....What a great teacher

This is so cool! It's so utterly fascinating to watch how you create a useful tool from a stone, similar to how it was done thousands of years ago. Has there been finds of handled flint blades, like how we would make a metal knife today, with the blade and the handle?

great video, hoping to get back into knapping after the leaving cert!

Thanks again Will. I was watching on tenterhooks. I have to wonder why the original person who left those tools and knee imprints never return. Sandy

So skillfull!

A fantasy book based on archaeology, set in the paleolithic ... In the storyline, it was discovered that heating the flint in fire made working it more controllable ... have u heard or experimented with this?

Fascinating that pitch of the sound that cracked flint changes as you hit it in different places. Is it because of the thickness of the worked material? Could the sound be possibly used to indicate if one is hitting/knapping in the right place?

*1:00** Like a Boss*

amazing video will , i love watching your knapping videos . now im not autherized to give any advice here but next time i recommend being a little farther away from a bear , them things are dangerous and usually hungery lol :P

Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!!

Do you make your own clothing Will or do you buy them, and if so where from?

Wish you would speak just a little bit louder

Are you a christian?

Too far, low volume.

You videos are so relaxing and peaceful to watch Will.

This is most cool.

again very well thought out & produced, absolutely love how your going through the timeline of evolution of man & his tools, I have been looking forward to these & you just doubled my interest even more best wishes to you and the stone

True Craftsmanship.

Amazing series Will, love how you are taking through this journey and watching with much interest and showing me more techniques and the problem solving and seeing more of what the flint will give.

Will, what can i say, the best on this planet in at least 550,000 years, inspirational and thank you for sharing👌✨

love this little series will cant wait for the next one

I'm hoping to go into anthropology, I love that you care to give some details about the historical information (who and when). I've been looking for a Neolithic history channel

Amazing. You make it look so easy - a master at his craft.

great video

Awesome to see you have a channel on the tube! I joined you a few years ago at Glasto for a short course. I'm now using the tools and book and these videos to assist on my sons stone age school project, as I wasn't impressed that the school was using the movie The Flintstones as a basis for study. You've saved the day Will! Thank you again for all you do and all the best for a prehistoric future ;¬)

Amazing! Thank you again for bringing us along on this journey!

the one thing that doesn't look primitive: his cup

Hey will, were flint and quartzite the normal materials for hand axes, and is a Hand Axe a hand held rock with sharp edges, and a stone axe is a hafted one?

You have inspired me into making primitive weapons and I've become very interested in making them, but I don't have flint and I have a very small amount of flintknappable stone where I live. any tips on finding flint? I rather not have to buy it since my money is also very limited. Thank u!

hey will lord do you listen to iron maiden
