Excellent, love it. First time I have seen a bow drill being used that I can recall. Thanks for posting.

Regards.

Can anyone identify when this was filmed? Certainly post WWII, but some of the visual cues I'm seeing indicate to me it could have been made as late as the 70s.

Thank you for that.

Good to see.

When the electricity stops one day, these skills will be in great demand. Just a pity that the old ways are not being taught to younger folk. So many skills will be lost forever soon.

@MrJanesaddiction

I got mine on ebay.

Some are very old.

[Conan568]

Was that I*XL knives?

I have a small collection of them.

That is very cool. I dig that guy's anvil. I might have to make one like that.

And yes, Warhead is an idiot that knows nothing about bladesmithing.

[makemethischris]

I think the anvil is what you call a cutlers stand.

(have a search for 'cutler's hammer' too)

The guy's hammer is a beast too.

& agreed, warhead's a fanny

Thanks for posting this to me,,I did see it about 4 months ago but still noticed new things when seen again like the pressure stick used on the grind wheel for downward force..a fine period film that shows the different trades needed at that time to produce a tool.

Warhead... you don't know shit... dumbass

Well sorry but that making of knife looks as cheap as fuck I mean they spent about a few mins on each knife. thats not life craftsmanship that's cheap
