Making a Neolithic flint axe with a story 

It’s fascinating how we only know of this tale today as Bruce Forsyth allowed us to learn about his childhood before he died What a man RIP Brucey. Circa 3,500 BC - 2017 CE

Cant wait for the finished axe and the rest of Todds' story.

Will, I'd like to send you my personal thanks for the extra effort you have made to keep us all entertained and connected during this time. I feel even more a part with your (our) tribe than ever. Keep it up.

You have a good imagination Will. Thanks for the vid

I don't know about anyone else but WOW! Will Lord I cannot say it enough I absolutely love ALL of your videos. I can feel from them that we share the exact love for Earth nature and life. I love that you share all of your knowledge with us and I hope to see much more in the future. I know you have tours to caves and Knapp-inns and wish with all my heart I had the money to come see you in person and learn much more then what I can from the video's, but I'll keep watching and learning as much as I can for now. Thank you Will Lord

increasingly amazing videos

Mr Lord, that story needs to be told and retold over the face of the globe to all those with open ears, minds, and hearts. Its depth of meaning to the Freudian "I" and the global community has a value far and above that of 'Liquid Diamond'...!

I dont EVER remember enjoying a story So Much. That was just fantastic. Thank you 👏

Aah that glass sound from the splitting stone... I can listen to it forever. Make a relax track with that sound!

I love the stories while you knap! It makes for a more immersive experience.

Loved the story! Stay safe Will, stay strong.

Thanks for the story Will. It was perfect. Sadly, that rite of passage is sorely lacking in today's society. My father raised me with a similar style of trial by fire. For many years it never dawned on me what value he had imparted into my life and future. I pray that in our future as humans, we begin to once again recognize the value of this essential part of growth and wisdom. Thanks again Will

I love you videos

Glued to that story it was amazing :)

So what dictates the shape of the axe head. The material, the individual stone, craftsman. Are you replication a traditional design coyld you make a modern shaped axe with this method. Sorry so many questions. Technology so advanced is indistinguishable from magic. It seems it goes backwards in time too

Great story it really speaks to the heart about ancient people they were truly amazing survivors thanks alot for that

Great stuff loved the story at this time of what is happening in the world, we need to know that we are not alone and we are all part of some sort of tribe and use that as our strength and we will be OK, keep your videos and stories coming, and be safe will to you and your family

hello friend, does it produce neanderthal technology?

Hi Will, great story, thank you , hoping you and your's are keeping safe and well . Best wishes, Stuart uk.

Be proud Will, you are a national treasure, looking forward to the next story ;)

Great story ... pure speculation

And Now we have 18 Yr olds who would starve if not for JUST EAT on Thier iphones and mum making the bed and paying for heating and electricity for the Xbox 😖...And people wonder why we've went down the pan!!!

Here in NZ in modern times, many fathers rake their sons (and sometimes daughters) into the wild to hunt and gather, and this "rite of passage" marks, in a less formal way, their growth into adulthood. Yes, a pale shadow of what our ancestors had to do in those hard times. These day we have energy slaves that relieve us of much labour, but we MUST NOT lose the skills to manage without them. I have hunted learned some of the basics of self sufficiency, but there is much that I might need if the world goes too much further down the path it is on right now. I have just found your channel and I know that even at my advanced age (80) I will learn much that will be useful in the times to come. Bless you.

Such a lovely story 👍👍

Will, great story, I enjoyed that. Have you ever done a video on Fire sticks?

You look Neolithic 😁

Rights of passage... good stuff its maybe what our youth are missing today. Thank you Will great story maybe as old as time itself.....🐾🔥💙

I started watching your videos to learn flint napping, but I absolutely enjoy your stories. The way you recreate history is wonderful. Thank you for your time and effort as well as your creativity. Cheers.

Thank you sir

Good movie plot.

That was a real nice story William. The grown~up world can be a daunting place . I hope the boy lived long & prospered 😊💕

good story that

Great story 👍

Thank you 🙏

I always love a good story. That one was well told. Thank you.

Another story, excellent! Still dying to hear about whats going to happen to Finn. I've found several axe and war clubs/hammers in our woods. They were all ground, pecked and polished. Very smooth. What are the advantages of a celt or a polished axe? Thank you so much for your terrific content.

Thank you once again for your wonderful story telling. Keep them coming. Stay safe. 🌈

What a great story. I am deeply touched. Thanks for sharing!

Touched

Hello will love it mate hope you and your are safe 🙏

I shared this story with my clan . I only wish they will take it to heed . Thanks mate !

Our society today would be night & day better than it is now if every member went through this learning experience. An understanding that can only come from facing reality and succeeding would be in each member to bring a bond that would make everyone stronger. Too bad our society today specializes in creating weakness & dependence. Just as a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link; so is the strength of our society. I’m afraid that at this point the only thing that can reverse this trend is a major catastrophe. Sadly that would mean most of the weak would perish.

That’s what we are missing today the right of passage in a community where young boys work so closely with a clan that he is grounded in His clan he would give his all. Wow what a great story there’s a lot to learn in this age old story. Stay Well Good Sir.

What a story, you are an amazing story teller 👍

Great story 😃i was there with the boy 🦾🙂

Good story ,and flint napping,,, simple ,strong story

The Turkey responded to the horn

Love those Neolithic glasses

Amazing and powerful story and lesson. Thank you for telling it.

That was awesome, I loved the story, thanks!

Very good, my friend

Todd was on his Todd and he had to fend for himself.

but what was the boy's name??

You ever think about starting a company and selling primitive weapons, masks, or horns? That would be awesome!

Awesome videos! We are making a game about the prehistoric Stone Age, although not as historical accurate, but with your videos and references in mind. It's named "Stone Rage" and already up on Steam. Your videos are value! Thank you!

In string theory this actually happened, his name was even Todd lol.

powerful story ...love it
