Describing the son of a father as a "chip off the old block" has never been more apt.

You've actually got the coolest dad in the history of the human race thus far. He found a Neanderthal butchery site, and plays both the flute and guitar.

Thanks Will! A dad to be proud of.

Thank you for taking the time to recognise, respect, and honour your Dad as an Elder and custodian of ancient learnt skills. He reflected a truth, that he may have started the journey, but you have embraced a wider knowledge base across multiple disciplines, looking backward in time and projecting forward in technologies. It’s so great to see two men who love each other deeply. How inspirational. Thank you again.

I first got interested in flint knapping because Ray Mears talked about your Dad.

Absolutely wonderful meeting you Father, full of history, knowledge and Love. Thank you for sharing. The love between Father and Son is quite evident. What a joy.

Great video! Your dad is special. I lost mine back in January. Enjoy every day!

Mate thanks for introducing us to your Dad. Many more thanks to him for letting us into his home. :) "You get what you get Boy" !! Pure Gold.

Thanks for sharing, this moment with your dad,i remember watching him on a bbc show many years ago, i never knew flint knapping was a thing, and I was fascinated by it. Years later I found a Will Lord on YT and wondered if you were related. The apple really doesn't fall far from the tree. Cheers from Australia ✌️❤️

I met John and dear Val a few times many years ago, back during the early 80's. Two of the calmest, most warm hearted and relaxed people I've ever met on this entire Earth. I'm sorry Val is no longer with us in this material dimension, but really pleased John is doing well. Best wishes to both of you.

What a cool dad. Thanks for sharing ❤

Hi John, Thanks Will for the tribute. Never seen the front room look so tidy. Thanks again for the lift to the station. Keep safe. Mr Charlie.

Will, your Dad is lovely. I’m sure your very proud..

Absolutely fascinating let’s see more of your wonderful dad 👍

No need for a TV, Hifi or Radio when you've got a Dad who can play and sing like that. What a very talented family you lot are. Lives well lived. Perhaps it's a good thing your Dad never became a rock star in the musical sense but ofcourse he is a "Rock Star" in the context of Flint knapping:) Also lost my Dear old Mum 8 years ago, my Dear old Dad died way back in 1988 aged 58, he was a great Man too.

LOvely, first thing I noticed was the Marshall amp, get in. What a lovely song. Yep a legend indeed. Such a great home and dad. Thanks for sharing this. I started my life in the 50's. I think you have a great way about you (its called heart) never change.

He wanted to be a rock star , , and in a way he is, lol , what a fine sense of humor.

I had a day learning to flint nap with your dad, in that very garden, your mum made us lunch too.

Your dad is an absolute gem! You are so lucky to still have him and all of his knowledge. I lost mine 5 years ago and miss him everyday.

What an amazing man , dad , grandad your so so lucky will xx

Wow Will what a privilege to listen to you and your Dad.....😊

Will wow your ole man is very talented and interesting guy I play a didgeridoo myself self taught and circular breathing so I don't need to stop playing its a very old native Australian instrument if neighbours dog barks I make dingo noises from didgeridoo dog goes silent lol my place is bit of a museum of my journey of things I dug up as archaeologist both human history and aviation ww2 aircraft parts much obliged for sharing 👍🐾🦊🇮🇹🍻

Loved watching you chat with your Dad Will, what a lovely interesting man and a fellow musician. Brought tear's to my eye's when he was playing the guitar and flute, you've got to cherish your time together mate. I sadly lost my Dad Charlie a Year ago this coming Saturday and miss him every Day. Thank's for sharing your time together with your friend's follower's Blessings to you Both

You sir are a VERY rich man to have and be friends with your dad !!!!mine HATED me and died when I was 27 …so enjoy every sacred second with him you lucky sod…peace

This makes me feel right at home.

It all makes sense now. What a great dad to have growing up. You are both treasures amoung humanity. Rare indeed.

Watching Phil Harding on the old Time Team shows is how I managed to find your videos.

The two finest flint knappers in the country and they are farther and son . Perfect 👌

Seems like a man who knows what matters. You're a lucky son.

This was wonderful. Great to meet your dad. Music and Art blessed.

How lucky are we to have shared a moment with your Dad. So many lessons. Thank you.

Awesome! You are both blessed 😎😊❤️🎶

well done Will! An honour to meet ur old boy. thank u 🙏🙏🙏🙏

That was an awesome heart felt video and much ❤️ sent to you, your Dad, family! Much appreciated!

A brilliant episode, this has to be a spin off tv show, “a glimpse into the Mesolithic with John and Will” two charismatic experts in the field go on a road trip, has to be done, come on BBC this is a winner. If those wallies the Kemps and Walsh father and son duos get tv shows with no substance, you two have massive potential because you walk your talk. Anyway thanks Will, an emotional episode and I have really fond memories of being taught Knaping by your Pa he really is a rock legend 😊

What a life indeed! An inspiration.

Only watched the firt couple of minutes (so far) loving the video already!

Your dad plays music I am quite smitten with the sound your dad makes on his guitar❤✝️✝️✝️👍

Sing "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" Will!

What A wonderful video! So GREAT TO SEE & HEAR YOU TWO TOGETHER! A FANTASTIC REMEMBRANCE OF YOU BOTH , SO CASUAL! I CAN RELATE WILL BE 80 NEXT YEAR. THESE MOMENTS ARE PRICELESS FOR SURE! ROCK ON DAD! ENJOY MANY MORE TOGETHER. J H RICHARD LANCASTER, PA. USA ,

That’s one awesome dad , his song brought a tear down my cheek watching him play..❤Sounds like lots of wonderful memories . Very wise and creative thinking man, love his art. Thanks for inviting us to his comfy looking home..! Like seeing the rocks, I also have a rock and fossil collection from past years laying around inside and outside our home, but nothing like his..!😅…. Lots of flint here in Tx…Along with Archeological sites and Native American remnants around sadly left unprotected , almost to be forgotten 😢 Saludos y que tengas muchas mas años con tu Papa..! ✌🏽

A proper.gentleman, and good dad ...your all blessed to have each other, and family memories you'll keep forever

That was a true honour to spend some time with such an amazing spirit 🤟

A truly lovely video mate. Your dad is a legend and an inspiration to yourself and many others. This is something you can look back on and treasure for the rest of your life. My dad was talking about him the other day and remembering the times your dad played at the british legion in Brandon. Hope you both keep well and may I say what an amazing but very different life growing up you had. It has made you who you are today. Proud Dad and proud Son.

Great to see a fellow with his Dad. You are clearly proud of him, rightly so. :)

What a wonderful episode. You were so fortunate to have such a great Dad.

Good to see John. Met him at Cresswell some fifteenish years ago. He was playing with flint with Phil Harding. We commissioned some replica arrows for a museum. Really nice guy and really nice arrows. I'd no idea about the music!

Your dad is an amazing chap and his voice is amazing to you need to film him more for your chanel

Great to see and hear... cheers

A really interesting video, with real nuggets of insight, that shed lots of light onto the colourful & joyful journey your dad has taken. Thanks for sharing Will, All the best, Gus

What a inspiration he must be to you Will. So uniquely talented..

The great man himself.

Thank you Will, for introducing us to your dad and coaxing a few tunes out of him (keep em coming). John, thank you for allowing us in and sharing your story with us.. Sir, You are a diamond. Keep on rocking, in all senses of the word.

A fantastic insight in the life of a wonderful and very interesting man.Thanks for sharing Will.

What a wonderful man, and a life well lived. Thanks for sharing, Will.

Good to see your dad again. As a knapper, I always enjoyed the Time Team episodes with Phil knapping. My favorite episode was Phil & your dad knapping.

Awesome, well done sir. What a life well lived.great musician , artist , thinker, and best of all ,a good dad! May he have many more great years to share his joy for life. I'll have the rest of the mastadon lol . Thanks for introducing him to us.

What a wonderful legacy. Thank you for the look into your family past and its history! Just wonderful!

I remember him from Ray Mears! You both look like Neolithic dudes!

Brilliant video Will ( as always) your dad is a talented gent 👏

The candle still burns brightly!

Nice thanks for sharing!!

Treasure this time. I have a sound recording of my father. It’s the only thing left.

You know I'm a bit like your dad I see things in Flint also. I live in Toledo Ohio I just went down to nethers farm at Flint ridge and quarried Flint🥰✝️✝️✝️

Lovely!! enjoyed it very much, Thanks!!!

Bravo 👏

What an inspirational man your father is, a man to be proud of. Thanks for sharing your video.

hi dad john,good eve sir.. greetings from 🇵🇭

Thankyou for introducing us Will. I feel enriched to have met your father; and heard his stories.

You father is a very interesting man. Thanks for letting us meet him. I could sit and talk for hours with him.

I don't know what to say! just so much to take in! wow, thanks so much for recording some history! I wish I could still sit & see my Father, even if he was a pickle puss!

I can only repeat what’s said but hey, thanks so much for letting us all in to your life, youth family and het, to have such a character like your dad, your a lucky man from what I see.

What a charming Gent.

john lord was your dad how cool

Will I've been watching a few of your videos lately they have all been excellent...but your dad was amazing what a character 😍😍😍😍

A grand fella !

Love the flint lock pistol on the book shelf

Interesting Dad you have there Will. By the way, Dusty Springfield was a Lady LOL.

Fantastic, what a treat! Very inspiring stories and memories. Loved the bit about the natural art in the flint ...but what about the modified stuff?

Thank you for sharing this. Its very heartwarming to see a father and son still well connected through the years. I can certainly see where you get some of your good looks and talent from. Blessings to you both. Absolutely loved this video. Please thank your dad for me for allowing us to invade his home. 😊 Loved the flute music as well. Very talented man, your dad. You have every right to be proud of him. 💜💜☮️☺️

Be proud of him Will, thanks for sharing

Ian Anderson should see this

Rock 🌋 star

You both are real treasures.. humble men who have shared so much. 🔥

When I saw the name of the video I thought he meant Jon Lord from Deep Purple for a minute.

Absolute legend mate

Only a couple minutes in and i love him already

Lovely to find your channel, those whistles take ages to warm up, best sounding in the world though. Inspiring playing!

Great video Will. I remember your dad playing Sax occasionally in local pubs, he was a bit good at that too.

So cool will .from the Creek Indian in Atlanta Georgia.USA

What a cracking video Will ! very moving ... thank you

Dude.... Luckily, my son inherited my artistic abilities and is amazing beyond his years! I only hope that he shares the same love for the outdoors that I've shown him as you have from your dad! This video is so wholesome and loving it hurts! Not in a bad way though. I don't get to see my boy often, summers and alternate holidays. So this kind of thing makes me miss him and realize all the other things I could show him. So thank you for showing your father's love for you bc not every dad gets to be shown in that light.

Your dad looks younger than you ? How's that possible , the butler even looks like Lionel Jeffries the actor , love that artwork in the hall too and I'm like 45 seconds into this video

Legend

nice mate

Well that was cool. 😀

Well as I live and breathe. Twins.

8:23 - awesome

Thanks man thats really great

What kind/make of whistle was that your dad was playing?
