Finally youtube has a video in my recommendation list that not only is interesting, but makes me like, share and subscribe within about 2 mins. Can't wait to visit your back catalogue and see what you've got planned for the future.
This is great. Your whole vibe feels so authentic. It’s like someone actually took a camera back a few thousand years and we’re watching the footage. Glad I found this. Subbed 👍🏻
When he was making the bowstring my eyes caught glimpse of modern packaging on the shelf back left of him. Something about that threw me off, I was so submersed in the video I forgot it was the 21st century for a moment.
Love the authenticity of this video, and also that you kept your unsuccessful attempt at the flint in the video. Our ancestors would have quite often not done things first try.
I love the juxtaposition between your natural handmade clothes, house, etc and the modern regular glasses. I don’t know why but there is something appealing about how the glasses stick out
Это действительно круто ! Это наши истоки. Когда то наши предки жили так и зависели лишь от собственных сил. Теперь же человечество зависит от электроэнергии, от денег. Но все это настолько ничтожно по сравнению древней жизнью дикого мира ! Это великий труд, все воссоздать и показать. У меня нет слов, я просто снимаю шляпу перед Вами ! И хотя я не понимаю о чем здесь говорится, мне очень интересно это смотреть. Спасибо !
It's a great watch. But we have to keep in mind that this is largely an interpretation of how things were done before history was written down. Some things are more probable, based on later procedures we know from e.g. antiquity (Edit: and first and foremost archaeological evidence, obviously), others are more freely derived from what seems logical or plausible. All in all, it's not exact because how could it be. But what I find great is that it reminds us first and foremost of how prehistoric peoples already were logical thinkers, inventors and creatives. They weren't stupid since if they had been, they wouldn't have survived. Too many people think of those humans as slightly more developed apes.
@@NitidusYeah I like that. Humans weren’t just dumb “ooga booga smash rock ugh” cavemen. They were just as logical and inventive as modern humans are today. A lot of discoveries are driven by curiosity. What happens if I do this instead of that? Can we do this more efficiently? What else can I use this thing for? What if I combine these things? There must have been a lot of experimentation going on to find what works best. What plants can be used for fibres to make ropes? What makes a good glue? What can we use to turn hides into workable leather? Truly incredible.
Hi Will. I was privileged to attend one of your bow making courses some years ago with a friend. I was amazed when you gave us some flint tools to work the bow to see how effective flint tools are. Thank you. Rob.
Jan24/2023@22:18Michigan. What a wild ride! Educational, peaceful and exhilarating. Super happy as you take us along & grateful for the outcome. Splendid archery film.
My man, Will, has a definitive Mr. Rogers quality when he is doing slow, calm work videos like this. It is very relaxing to listen to his voice while learning.
If I ever met you in person, you'd never have to worry about me leaving, because I would be your permanent roommate. That house you live in is absolutely incredible! I wanna live there!
The wise ones had the knowledge of how glass magnifies. Even if by accident. But the memory capacity of humans back then, was far greater, and since they did not write things down, increasing the size words, or providing better sight for the elderly, probably because life did not last long enough to get to the point of old age. Tho 50 would be considered old age, some places 30 is old age, and there are still places on the planet today, where people have a less than 30 year life expectancy. But i am digressing. With all pf that said, I completely agree with you that this was a very good video and the string pulling was more nail biting than a horror movie. Those strings hurt 😅
Holy Crap Mate!!!! You have SKILLS !!!! just from watching you knap flint! Can you man the topsails on a schooner? If the boat sinks... you find land... you're gonna survive!!!!
The more I watch the more I am looking forward to the course I have booked. Flax - we used to habitually dress ourselves in flax in the past and indeed in the summer my outdoor shirts are always linen and of course there is all those references to beautiful maids with flaxen hair. Watching these videos, for me, sets off all sorts of associations, historical, literary, practical - a wonderful gift - thank you Will! PS: Stringing Odysseus' bow...
Hi Will, cool video buddy 👌 I done some flint-knapping occasionally, with John Lord (Dad, perhaps?), & his good lady back in 2007/8 - a few years ago now in Etchingham, East Sussex. I remember spending a few hours knapping arrow & axe heads... Happy days! Atb Gus 👍
Everyone here is so confused. Will? This is obviously Sean Bean taking a break from being killed in every movie and TV show to show us how things used to be. Suprised you all didnt notice
This is the base bedrock skill set. Paleolithic reenactment/reconstruction is the most challenging epoch to rewind to. Every bushcrafter, survivalist, folklorist, reenactor, history buff, or craftsperson should subscribe--- and learn. And get the feel of it. Kudos to Will Lord.
7:09 "I'm gonna need to make a string." Probably the most overlooked aspect of ancient technology, that. Awesome work, Will, thanks for this spot of education!
That knot you put in the string at the bottom of the bow, we call a timber hitch down here and I’ve used it a lot over the years when pulling logs, firewood, etc. 😁👏👏👏👏
When I was a kid I always made Bows out of the most random things PVC pipes old fishing rods and i always struggled to find strings that was good enough if RUclips was a thing back then you would have made my life as an highly imaginative kid a lot more fun...great job man
I'm moving off grid and working towards a simpler life to do my art. I want to do with less so I can have more quality time. I'm so glad I came across your channel so I can learn some valuable skills. Thank you!
Finding your Chanel was largely serendipitous. However, it took me back to the 1950s when I built my early bows. After a few failures and a lot of reading I built myself a tillering frame, what a difference it made! While I didn't make my bowstrings by harvesting Linum, I did make my own strings by twisting together linen shoemakers twine, it worked a treat. My reading also led me to the construction of a rotary fletching jig - more arrows more quickly. Unfortunately, bow making was something I grew out of by my 20s, as other aspects of life, education, sport, women, etc. competed for time. I loved your video, and I'll watch more. Thank you for taking me back to a simpler time, that I had actually forgotten.🎯
My first time here and really enjoyed it. I watch a lot of decent pre-history and archaeology programs and have been fascinated at how well they lived back then and how advanced they were, makes you wonder where we went wrong.. such a rewarding way of life. Thanks for the video👍
we didn't "go wrong" yet. we're finding our way every day. we can still create together new ways of living that are as collective, rewarding, and connected to earth as this one, but bringing with us all the knowledge we've accumulated so far. it starts with sharing our passions like this guy does.
You make it look so easy. I know it's not. I think it's so important that you are passing on these skills. Man and woman now rely on synthetic materials and mechanized production and on others to make things for them. That is a spirit-numbing thing. To me it seems you're both a Chieftain for today and a guardian of our past passing along the ancient knowledge of how to survive and thrive in a fundamental way which is not to say that it's primitive; indeed it is quite sophisticated and therein a dignity imparted back and restored to our Humanity. Both the bow and it's string are just beautiful, truly. Thank you for all of this!
I usually try to make a habit of not watching weapon videos but the history and obvious knowledge of this chap aroused my curiosity and I have to admit I enjoyed it and have now subscribed his down to earth approach made it worthwhile Thank you
Now you're talking!!! Warching your other hands-on docu about the dirk you made, i was amazed at the number of workable arrowheads dropping from your rock whittling.. And here youve made a rasp... and here come the bows!!! Deis Vult!!!
I’ve known how to make rope for awhile now but never knew what to use for natural fiber. Good video, no fluff and all good information. Thanks for sharing.
I was interested because of the title but I was drawn in like a fly to the warmth your personality radiates. I am eager to watch more of your content! Much love, from Argentina.
I enjoyed that very much. That was a right fine job. Never done it yet but have studyed maney a video and you are at the top of the list. Thanks for posting it.
I am amused by the literal "flaxen hair" you're displaying, Will. You're stripping flax fibers that are the exact same hue as your sun-bleached locks, there! Also, just sitting there, peacefully working on processing fibers, can be a very good ASMR / ambience / background setting, something to listen to while working on one's own projects.
I love your cottage, and lot. You don't look like you even know what a computer does, but here you are. You don't look like belong or live in 2023, and at a time when the world is so crazy, I envy your lifestyle.
I just watched you video that is on your channel page, where you are flint napping.... no doubt what you made was amazing, you are very skilled at it. BUT what i got from your video, with you dressed so well.... i didnt see a 'man' making a tool, i saw nature, 2 parts, the woodland behind you and a natural man completely blended into his environment.... not with clothes but immersed in nature, an amazing synergy it was lovely to watch!! You looked at home, at peace..... when do you ever see a guy in suite in an office look like that👍 just didnt want to leave my comment on such an old video........ really liking them mate, keep them up!
Having made several bows myself: I heartily thank you for this great work. As a note to verify your words " when they explode it usually hurts! ", my nephew & I made a beautiful new recurve selfbow/ sinew backed, which blew up on the 2nd shot! 5 pieces! That hurt both of us! I have used Osage Orange/Bo d'ark , but mostly Service Berry. This a tough wood you have in Britain and Europe -- I'm told. I live in Idaho USA. YEW grows here in the deep Mtns, and I have 2 sticks cured for long bows. Sarvis, as I call the "Service Berry " is abundant here, and will make a bow in 24 hrs, should extreme conditions force you. What a great craft; but strings are harder. I will watch Everything you post.
Very interesting, I have north American service berry on my property in northern NH. Some of the trees are 6-7" through the base. I've noticed the pith is hollow so I'll see about getting some blanks out of it on either side of the pith
Perma smile on me after watching this. Happy this landed on my feed. Thank you so much sir for showing us this. What a gent. Would love to see how to select the wood etc. Definitely returning for more. Cheers
How is your dad doing Will? I spent a day with him 10 years ago on 1:1 session. Wonderful memories of a gentle man with so much knowledge. Took me out in his car to get some Brandon flint. Still got it!
Hi Will the bow I bought from you many years ago,a bamboo backed laminated bow is still launching arrows fast and true.it was first used by me to shoot clout and it gave me my first 6x scoring arrows consecutively. I have since passed it on but is still enjoyed by its new owner .✌️👍👍
I’m extremely happy you guys who are experts and know what & how to do with those beautiful huge chunks of flint… but us lowly guys WOULD like a few small chunks to play with , make fire with and maybe knap out a gun flint. Maybe. You have AMAZING chunks of Flint Rock !!!
0:24 what are you up to today? 14:04 I'm impressed by how good that looks as a string. Great presentation, awesome bowmakeriness, love your happiness at the end, so genuine.
Finally someone who doesn't bring out the power tools to teach us how to build primitive things. Everything from scratch. Absolutely LOVE it!
right lol
Yeah, always annoying when they use perfectly cut 2x4s, use a modern drill, modern buzzsaw etc.
Finally youtube has a video in my recommendation list that not only is interesting, but makes me like, share and subscribe within about 2 mins. Can't wait to visit your back catalogue and see what you've got planned for the future.
Thanks David
Don’t subscribe cause you’ll never see it again. That’s the trick.
😊
You gonna ride him any harder?
This is great. Your whole vibe feels so authentic. It’s like someone actually took a camera back a few thousand years and we’re watching the footage. Glad I found this. Subbed 👍🏻
Cheers buddy
When he was making the bowstring my eyes caught glimpse of modern packaging on the shelf back left of him. Something about that threw me off, I was so submersed in the video I forgot it was the 21st century for a moment.
Breaking a bowstring back then must have really sucked.
@@davekal06😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I totally agree with your comment. The great thing is, the light in his eyes.
One of the best articulated and edited videos showing classical bowyers methods. Napping the flint and making the flax string were great touches.
Thanks Chris
That smile at the end says it all: A person that really enjoys his craft. Brilliant.
Love the authenticity of this video, and also that you kept your unsuccessful attempt at the flint in the video. Our ancestors would have quite often not done things first try.
This guy is awesome, like he makes vids for the genuine enjoyment and entertainment to others not just money and subs
Stooped by after watching some Jack Mckey 😉☺️👊🏻
I love the juxtaposition between your natural handmade clothes, house, etc and the modern regular glasses. I don’t know why but there is something appealing about how the glasses stick out
Это действительно круто ! Это наши истоки. Когда то наши предки жили так и зависели лишь от собственных сил. Теперь же человечество зависит от электроэнергии, от денег. Но все это настолько ничтожно по сравнению древней жизнью дикого мира ! Это великий труд, все воссоздать и показать. У меня нет слов, я просто снимаю шляпу перед Вами ! И хотя я не понимаю о чем здесь говорится, мне очень интересно это смотреть. Спасибо !
love your smile and your patience ! great job!
definitely authentic, i feel as if this person is sharing valuable knowledge spoken as a true countryman. its fantastic

Also, I am quite unsure about whether longbows were a thing in the Neolithic
@@NitidusYeah I like that. Humans weren’t just dumb “ooga booga smash rock ugh” cavemen. They were just as logical and inventive as modern humans are today. A lot of discoveries are driven by curiosity. What happens if I do this instead of that? Can we do this more efficiently? What else can I use this thing for? What if I combine these things?

I think I have just found the real robin hood. Good skills there, appreciate the work involved in these traditional methods.

I could watch this all day. 👌🏻
I love where you live, it's beautiful!
Must have a beautiful winter!
Jan24/2023@22:18Michigan. What a wild ride! Educational, peaceful and exhilarating. Super happy as you take us along & grateful for the outcome. Splendid archery film.
Really enjoyed watching this ,especially making the string . I understand what you mean about the ease to buy string.
Awesome thanks 👍👍

If I ever met you in person, you'd never have to worry about me leaving, because I would be your permanent roommate. That house you live in is absolutely incredible! I wanna live there!
Just imagine if Neolithic's had spectacles, now that would have been a game changer. Great video with no unnecessary background music... nice 1 👍

work on bow was impresive ,but when you show those arrows ,magnificent set !

The algorithm has graced me with your presence today. Great video. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.
WOW 😲 really good information thanks 👍
7:09 "I'm gonna need to make a string." Probably the most overlooked aspect of ancient technology, that. Awesome work, Will, thanks for this spot of education!
great bow respect
Thank you for sharing. Nice work!
Looks amazing Will fantastic long bow 🤟
I understand the nervous tention when going the full draw length- nice , trice!
Beautiful video, great channel!

I’ve had a few go bang 😂😎
Hi bud, I remember you bringing one of your bows to work when we were at Matrix. A long time ago now, awesome bits of kit tho. 👌👌
I love how happy u look man gives me a smile too
I usually try to make a habit of not watching weapon videos but the history and obvious knowledge of this chap aroused my curiosity and I have to admit I enjoyed it and have now subscribed his down to earth approach made it worthwhile

SO awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!
Ah, the algorithm has blessed me with wholesome content once again ... taking a moment to be thankful.
Now you're talking!!! Warching your other hands-on docu about the dirk you made, i was amazed at the number of workable arrowheads dropping from your rock whittling.. And here youve made a rasp... and here come the bows!!!
Deis Vult!!!
I’ve known how to make rope for awhile now but never knew what to use for natural fiber. Good video, no fluff and all good information. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic . Thats a better way to spend your time than sitting in traffic 👍
Awesome content!! I pledge multiple binge watches of your channel! Thank you!!!
It never occurred to me that you could use a large piece of napped flint as a drawknife. That is an incredibly resourceful idea
And now I can say that I've seen this in the flesh, such a privilege, thank you Will!
Cheers bro 😎 x
Sweet bow and a beautiful string and loop.
I was interested because of the title but I was drawn in like a fly to the warmth your personality radiates. I am eager to watch more of your content!
Much love, from Argentina.
Thank you for that 🤗
Wow !!! Will excellent Bow making presentations. Thoroughly enjoyed the vedio.
I enjoyed that very much. That was a right fine job. Never done it yet but have studyed maney a video and you are at the top of the list. Thanks for posting it.
Cheers mate
This was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed this! It was exactly what I was looking for. Incredible talent and such a storyteller way of talking.
I wish I had that know-how when I was a kid and had the time.
Wonderful.
That was a lovely bow you made Will, but that one would be a bit tough for me,
I am amused by the literal "flaxen hair" you're displaying, Will. You're stripping flax fibers that are the exact same hue as your sun-bleached locks, there! Also, just sitting there, peacefully working on processing fibers, can be a very good ASMR / ambience / background setting, something to listen to while working on one's own projects.
He is actually bald, but he won't let us know because he is vain :P
I love your cottage, and lot. You don't look like you even know what a computer does, but here you are. You don't look like belong or live in 2023, and at a time when the world is so crazy, I envy your lifestyle.
Glad Boromir got back on his feet....awesome vid!
This was damn awesome!! 👏🙌
Thanks 🙏
Fantastic learning opportunity, thank you.
I can’t tell you how many bushcraft videos I’ve sorted through but that was by far the best one I’ve seen yet for bow craft thank you.
I just watched you video that is on your channel page, where you are flint napping.... no doubt what you made was amazing, you are very skilled at it. BUT what i got from your video, with you dressed so well.... i didnt see a 'man' making a tool, i saw nature, 2 parts, the woodland behind you and a natural man completely blended into his environment.... not with clothes but immersed in nature, an amazing synergy it was lovely to watch!!

just didnt want to leave my comment on such an old video........ really liking them mate, keep them up!
That’s a wonderful comment and compliment thank you
Great craftsmanship will
Great , this is quality RUclips , thank you so much for your beautiful work , we love you x x
Thanks so much that means so much to me x
Having made several bows myself: I heartily thank you for this great work. As a note to verify your words " when they explode it usually hurts! ", my nephew & I made a beautiful new recurve selfbow/ sinew backed, which blew up on the 2nd shot!
5 pieces! That hurt both of us!
I have used Osage Orange/Bo d'ark , but mostly Service Berry. This a tough wood you have in Britain and Europe -- I'm told. I live in Idaho USA.
YEW grows here in the deep Mtns, and I have 2 sticks cured for long bows. Sarvis, as I call the "Service Berry " is abundant here, and will make a bow in 24 hrs, should extreme conditions force you.
What a great craft; but strings are harder.
I will watch Everything you post.
Very interesting, I have north American service berry on my property in northern NH.
Some of the trees are 6-7" through the base. I've noticed the pith is hollow so I'll see about getting some blanks out of it on either side of the pith
Thumbs up:)
really enjoy watching your work
I'm 50 years old I'm. And I have decided that when I grow up. I want to be like this guy I am so impressed with this channel
Definitely understand about the tension and yes we can see it because you seldom show it.... Great video and thank you!
very entrusting!
Perma smile on me after watching this. Happy this landed on my feed. Thank you so much sir for showing us this. What a gent. Would love to see how to select the wood etc. Definitely returning for more. Cheers
Thank you Rob
How is your dad doing Will?
I spent a day with him 10 years ago on 1:1 session. Wonderful memories of a gentle man with so much knowledge.
Took me out in his car to get some Brandon flint. Still got it!
Hi is doing really well thanks for asking 👍
Hi Will the bow I bought from you many years ago,a bamboo backed laminated bow is still launching arrows fast and true.it was first used by me to shoot clout and it gave me my first 6x scoring arrows consecutively. I have since passed it on but is still enjoyed by its new owner .✌️👍👍
I’m extremely happy you guys who are experts and know what & how to do with those beautiful huge chunks of flint… but us lowly guys WOULD like a few small chunks to play with , make fire with and maybe knap out a gun flint. Maybe. You have AMAZING chunks of Flint Rock !!!
The genuine pleasure on your face when you had created the bow even after obviously creating so many is enough for me to subscribe. Great work
Cheers 👋
super amazing, love the explanation of making the string.
I just learned so much in twenty minutes from watching this.
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this and share it.
Very well done.
I just can’t stop watching your vids, Will, excellent. I’m a field archer and shoot traditional bows and self made arrows. Thanks. 👍🙂
0:24 what are you up to today?
14:04 I'm impressed by how good that looks as a string.
Great presentation, awesome bowmakeriness, love your happiness at the end, so genuine.
Brilliant
Thanks a lot for sharing,
Unbelievable how durable flint is!.
Very well done.... Thank you
Fantastic video.
I felt a sense of worry when the draw was being tested, ahaha. This is an amazing video, thank you.
Hey Will, glad you're still active and looking good. Mike, Cheddar caves!
Cheers Mike 😎👍
