      kayden edgar It really is educational and worthy of knowing for survival. I'm just worried that part 2 will be taken down or restricted since it involves the skinning of a ground squirrel. :/ But a great vid nonetheless.

    Shawn, I think its great that you made a return to making videos about primitive tools, I really enjoy learning about the tools of early humans, and I find your videos help give a whole new life to these artifacts.

    You should start a college course on knives and arrowheads, etc. that you make. My daughter and I took a fly tying and fly fishing course at our local community college. It was a LOT of fun. The fly tying course was taught by a pharmacist and the fly fishing was taught by a computer course instructor. It was loads of fun. As part of the course we drove up to a mountain area called the Boy Scout Ranch and fished for Trout (catch & release). On my first throw I caught a tree. LOL I was the first to receive a T-shirt with a Trout drawn with tree limbs on it. Then we had a sit down lunch of stuff we brought to eat. It was awesome.!!
    Your wife could teach cooking lessons of her specialty food she does from your home in small groups. Our courses were 2 hours 3X a week. Just throwing that out there because you are so thorough with your explanations. 🌻

  • @pwnyou2295
    @pwnyou2295 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've managed to make 2 decent blades similar to yours just from hammering metal from a coat hanger. Out of curiosity, how did you make the pointed tip? Mine came out more rounded from being pounded flat.

    Hiya Shawn I know this a random question that doesnt relate to the video but I cant think of a better person to ask than yourself.

And are there any surviving examples of masonry tools or depictions of them being used? Bill

    Neat little project. People often ignore the archeological evidence that the northern Canadian peoples had contact with Europeans a thousand years before Columbus ever dreamed of a quick spice route. They also had a good trade relationship with some Viking clans so why couldnt they have traded for iron tools? Alao some northern Canadian countryside is almost solid copper ore and copper tools were not unknown to the Inuit and Deni.

    The Wikipedia article states he was born sometime between 1450 and 1700. Has the composition of the blade's metal been tested? Assuming the blade belonged to mummy, and not someone from a later period, the early birth date estimate would be pre-Columbian, which would be quite a significant find had the iron once been a ship's nail..
