The adze is, in my opinion, one of the most important woodworking tools there is. So versatile. One of my favorites.
It's fitting that you feature it.
I've made and used stone tools for many years. And I'm glad to see someone with talent presenting them in the way you do.
I enjoy your videos.
Rock on!
Thanks Donny ! The skill to use your tools and manufacture a tool is envious ! Looking forward to the next episode !
Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you greatly always watching and commenting. 🤙🤙
Honestly these skills and all past skills should be put in a living museum with people like you to keep them alive in practice and in spirit. It's as much or more a part of us as faith to take our environment and harvest it with practiced skill. Beautiful work
Just found this channel and I'm addicted, binge watching everything while making some arrows❤
Can I capture a bear with a bird whistle? Yeah
Can I turn this fresh air into a arrow? Yeah
It's always good.
Awesome. Thanks so very much. Appreciate it greatly!!!!
Haha. Much respect and appreciation!!!
Making and using that primitive tool is so impressive! I have for years imagined how these stone tools were used, did some flint knapping for a few years, but watching you make and use stone tools has made me realize how much I underestimated how effective they really were. Your videos are like going back in time and watching actual Stone Age people.
I’m looking forward to the primitive bow building! Me and my daughters need more fun projects for the summer!
Absolutely. Coming soon!!!
Dude If einstein said wars after WW3 will be fought with stones and sticks and donny survived, this guy would be a real threat to the new world. Lol
Huge compliment. Thanks!
Lol! He would be the new leader!
I know he would.
Great job on the Adz..you are gonna get a bunch done with that!!
Thanks for sharing!!

You're the guy to be with during the Apocalypse🌿
Haha. Like I tell most people…you will have to find me. Hahaha. Thanks for watching!
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracksAnd guess who you’ll be in that scenario? This here: the real life Alpha or Beta of The Whisperers.
Another amazing build!
Appreciate you watching!
You never cease to amaze me, Donny! You dah man! Have a great weekend.🤙🤙🤙
I appreciate that! Thanks so much for watching!!!
I like what you are doing. Don't understand all the words you say. Not a smart man. But learning cause of you. Keep up the awesome work and God bless.
Thank you, I will. Much respect and appreciation. 🤙🤙🤙
Very cool my friend! Thanks for sharing😎
Thanks for watching!
This isn't just how our ancestors survived, but how we'll survive in the near future.
I don't think so
I would prefer to be slightly more optimistic than that lmao
👍👍
Nicely done 💜🤙🏽
Great job on that. Thanks Donny.
Appreciate it greatly!
I am a Vietnamese commando, I respect your skills, your words remind me of many things about the past
Thanks Donny, another great video. Is the stone adze head a flintknapped piece of stone that was polished down or was it made with just polishing?
Awesome. Thanks so very much. I appreciate that greatly!!!
Thanks brother 🌀🤙🏻🇺🇸
No problem 👍
I am/was an Archery nut. So the descriptor hooked me. Thoroughly enjoyed this video so you've gained a sub. Cheers from the U.K.
Awesome. Much respect and appreciation!!!
Awesome stuff Donny. Nice Adze
It's cool that you used the stone adze as a chisel to make the shaft. We have a similar adze style in the Marianas, but our iconic adze material is giant clam(tridacna).
Very cool. That’s awesome!!!
I recently bought “Cedar” by Hillary Stewart and there are some pretty good sketches of northwest carving kits in there. I want to make myself one.
I’m honestly not sure how much it helps, but when I’ve made stone and bone scrapers and chisels I always put a piece of leather between the blade and the wood. Seems like it helps with keeping things firm after a lot of use but I could just be imagining it.
Cedar is a great book. One of my favorites. Great stuff in that bad boy.
Leather patches I’ve done before and it’s a good idea. This one I just went with the basics. Appreciate you watching and commenting 🤙
Cool
🙏🏻
This ASMR is on anothet lvl... thanks
Sir you have the patience of a God I could not do this. Good work
I love your videos, they are exciting and give me motivation to do something like that
Outstanding build! your skills are next level.
Very cool, really. ,👍 Greetings from East Germany.
Thank you very much! Greetings from Colorado USA🤙
I have a modern steel elbow adze. I love my elbow adze. It is such a versatile and awesome tool. I can hog wood off and i can do precise woodworking
Right on🤙
Yes finally extremely useful tool
Glad to hear that!
Bought one a few moons ago...guess I better start using it, though I never have before.
Is it required to debark a tool handle? I ask because I like the look from the natural bark on handles
😄👍
🤙🤙
that moment when you realise how much time saving are powertools )
No doubt there, and I've no shame in admitting it.
I couldn’t agree more.
No doubt!!!
Hey Mr Donny, a question: i see the curve of the handle might be impacting your preferred striking angle of the tool head, thus your comment about shortening the handle to improve the angle. Could you heat straighten that bend instead? Nice video, thank you, Gus
that's very cool!
Sick!
How is your bow and arrow practice coming along?
Can you tell something and show some of your tattoos?
Absolutely. No problem!
I think the ancient Egyptian was-sceptre was actually a tool, but stylized and made ornamental in later years. I'm not quite sure what its use was, though, and I'm trying to figure it out. It is slender, it has an angled handle on the top of the shaft, and two curved tines on the bottom. So it might have been a frog-catcher or fishing gig, but why the angled head? Perhaps it was an agricultural tool of some sort ...? Anyway, the angled head of this adze reminds me of it, but the shaft is longer, indicating that it was more for reaching, and the prongs at the bottom suggest a two-in-one type tool.
Very true and great point. Lots of ancient tools from one culture resembled other tools from other cultures. Shared technology? Ancient wisdom passed down? Or collective problem solving Thant spanned generations and cultures.
Make a series where are you Chopped down a tree, and every part of the tree that you use is a separate video
Could some natural glue and crushed powder Obsidian increase cutting potential? Seems like a few engineering tweaks could help this.
I’m not sure if the obsidian would last more than a strike or two. Glue to hold the blade in…sure, but it’s not necessary if wrapped tight and properly!!! Thanks for watching
hey love the video. i got a random question tho, do you ever go back to having some (childish) fun like climbing trees and that kind of thing?
Absolutely. I do some simple and childish type things once my major needs are met. Absolutely!
I do as well when I'm in the woods. Climbing trees, bear crawling, eating different leaves, berries, and insects. Having "childish" fun doesn't need to be in free time, you can live much of that way in the woods. I feel a lot closer to apes when I do :)
안녕하세요.
네 👍 🤙🤙
Hello🤙
I dont cut knots, just rub them on the flat sone/ electric concrete pole. Way faster/easier. But tool is good, lots of uses. Thanks for video
My pleasure. Appreciate you watching and commenting. 🤙
In 1972 the novel First blood was based off this guy. 😂
Loosely based. Hahaha
I don't know if this works but wouldn't soaking the cordage in water first, then wrapping and letting everything dry produce a tighter fit?
Great point. The type of cordage is the key. Rawhide will shrink down, but this is a palm and it’s water resistant, but very strong!!!
Have you thought about making a video of how native people from around the world broke away from the stone age with a clay kiln I think to make charcoal & then using that charcoal to reach high enough temperatures to melt ore of any type present?; like aluminum? iron? With primitive forges?
Nice tool... but I doubt earlier forms would've used cordage.... or even later examples, for that matter. Rawhide and/or sinew would've been far better. They're more abrasion resistant, tighter, and thinner. All of these would've provided for a better, lighter, and more compact head.
How did primitives make their cordage? Tree bark?
with diffrent types of plant fibers like dog bane and cat tail you can also make cordage with grass
👍🤙🎩
I feel like the adze came about when a stone age person tried to make an axe but the fermented berries started to hit. After much frustration and angry chimpanzee noises they said f**k it, it's a new tool
Haha. I could see that taking place. Pretty funny. Thanks for watching!
is it illegal to use powertools when building a primitive weapon?
Depends on what you want. If you want the experience, you should probably use primitive tools to make a primitive weapon. If you just want the result, it's fine to use powertools.
Powertools are also preferable if you're new to making primitive weapons as they are, let's face it, far more precise than flint flakes and handaxes.
Love the channel you really know your stuff but FYI eath is only about 6000 years old.

Or when you’re poor and don’t care what people think. Either way…I don’t judge.
