Great video! Good start to my morning and I was surprised to see that you did an actual analysis of the tools, instead of just a comparison; super interesting info and no one else offers that kind of thing.
Last axe was a beast. I wouldn't actually mind if I drove to my cabin to chop wood for the little heating stove I have there and this was the only axe I had there.
Great video! Side-by-side comparisons may take a bit more work for making a video, but the data provided is very useful. Are you able to do a similar video using different types of stone like flint/chert, granite, quartz, etc? I know that you are limited by the availability of the materials around you, but it may be useful to see how other material hardnesses stack up. For example, would the edge of the 2.5kg celt hold up better under the applied force if a more durable rock was used, or would that amount of force cause rocks f a harder material be more prone to chipping and cracking? Enquiring minds want to know!
Thanks! I must admit I sometimes go back to this video just to enjoy the footage of the heavy axe making splinters out of this branch. So satisfying! :-)

Glad you liked it 🙂
That last axe was amazing! Just a little resharpening after every tree and I think you'll be good.
I love this format - testing side by side and offering pros and cons. Bravo!
Nice video, very interesting test.🙂
Great video! I don’t know why but there’s something so satisfying about cutting wood with a stone!
Holy mackerel, the large axe cut the wood like a beast.

That's a really good idea for a future video :-)
woah didnt expxect that im so happy it works so well:):)

@@MakeItPrimitive hehe so nice appreciate your channell also very interested in ancient primitive but high affective skills
I love how the camera shakes with each blow from the 2.5 kilo boi
Me too, if I may say so myself. So satisfying! :-)
Can you imagine the strength of the primitive wood gatherers? I mean, I can barely use a modern axe for more than a few minutes...
I still cold not craft one that worked, but someday i will.
Could you please make a hafted stone axe with a chiseled edge and see how effective that would be?
I'm not sure what you mean by "chiseled" ... do you have an example of such a tool?
Limestone is not the right stone for stone tools , flint is infinite better , because it doesn't crack under stress
