.....i am so happy to have found your channel

Thx for this video man my cousin is having a hard time hammering some of our wood to make a small shelter and this is gonna help a lot

Very nice, maybe try to put a groove around them and wrap the stick inside the groove.

[@MakeItPrimitive]

You can do that to be extra sure. But I've found that if you can get a properly shaped rock, it usually isn't necessary (and with quartz, it would be a lot of work to peck a groove into it). As the willow wood dries out and shrinks, its grip on the head loosens a bit, so I re-tighten the handle after one or two days.

@@MakeItPrimitive that makes sense

You should try to make a flint drill
and use it to drill a hole in a rock

Awsome

[@thedrunkengamerx]

What kind of tree did u pull that branch from? Also, did you dampen that twig before peeling the bark, or does it just come off that easily?

[@MakeItPrimitive]

It's willow. The bark comes off very easily if you do it at the right time of year, in spring and summer.

[@thedrunkengamerx]

@@MakeItPrimitive does this go for weeping willows as well?

[@MakeItPrimitive]

@@thedrunkengamerx I haven't tried it, but probably yes. The specimens in my area are all already old and big, so I coudn't get my hand on any young branches. But all the willows I have met so far were easy to debark. What I can say, however, is that the hanging branches of the weeping willow aren't great for basket weaving, even though they really look like they should be.
