    What I love about flint, even discarded pieces give you firestarting pieces for your flint and steel kits

    It's an amazing demonstration of years of work in about 20 min. Our ancestors were skilled beyond belief and you sir, have shown me a glimpse of that skill! Excellent video!

    Mr. Will Lord, I find your knapping videos o be very instructive and informing. That said, I admit to having some confusion about the angle to hold the flint, the angle to strike the flint, the resulting frature's angle, and setting up striking platforms. Please, would it be possible to do a video where you diagram these important fundamentals with a marker on paper, and back the diagrams up with real world knapping demonstrations? I imagine I am not your only viewer who is confused about these questions. Thanks for bringing the ancient skill to KZread for us to learn, practice, and enjoy!

    Totally mesmerized by the antiquity of this activity! One can imagine ancestors of old doing just the same. So skilled! How did you come to acquire your tools? Did you make them yourself? I would love to hear more details about everything you’re using and doing. Especially loved your expression, “song of the stone”! I have a thing for wind chimes and that’s one of the first things I noticed about your flint knapping: the beautiful melody it creates. PS BLOOD OFFERING AT THE END!!! Appropriate!!!!

    This may be an odd question, but would prehistoric man have made gloves? With how laborious day-to-day life would have been for them, wouldn't they have had need for some sort of hand protection (outside of naturally-forming calluses)?

    I'm not an expert, but I know that Native Americans in Texas used Rawhide and leather wrapped around their hands when they were flint-knapping or foraging through mesquite trees for pods and in other situations where sharp or jagged things could possibly tear up their hands. Though I am curious about other groups using that method around the world and even in the Americas.
