Somehow blunt weapon are scary
@insch.9547 we here at Birchouse love history and are fascinated by arms and armor. I think it is good to temper that enthusiasm with a healthy dose of understanding humankind's relentless pursuit of ways to destroy one another, and the tools we create are as frightening as they are creative.
Samurai: “Our primary weapons are the hallowed Yari and the Katana. These weapons both require great skill and commitment to use. The training we do with these weapons ingrain an ethos that they are not their own objects. They are a part of our very SOUL/S. And we spill blood on the battlefield with these weapons with the stroke of a hand that is skilled at the level of Gods if we can…” Also Samurai: “Mothafuckin BAT!!!!!!!!!”
I made a charm with green jade ans tiger's eye beads. Then my brother grabbed my Ball head war club and used it on a stump making the beads come off and i had to comb through the grass to find all 28 beads ;-; now i will sew them into the cloth wrap instead of using a wire
Love this. I believe im either Crow, Huron cree or one of the different houdenoshonee
@@countsnowyofgwainn3996 that is so cool!
😮👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Awesome Ghost pipes find they're super cool plants
Ah man! Didn't know there was a drawing. Congrats to winner
Great work, it looks great :)
Hey there! I'm Deakon and I know I said in the email but wanted to say more here as well, you guys were a blast to talk to and I kept finding my way back debating on buying a shield but it didn't work out but man am I happy that I was still able to win this and am able to have some of your craft to call my own. Very happy and very excited, thank you!
@firstname6018 that is incredibly kind. Thank you so much for coming out and chatting with us, and I hope you love your axe!
Where are you???
Really nice work here man
Thank you!
Hey you just popped up on my recommended! Loved your review. My favorite part it when the brotherhood found the headless guy and held up the picture of his face and said “yep that’s him” 😂
Thanks for giving us a watch! It is sincerely appreciated. That also gave me a good laugh. The humor across the board was spot on.
theres a very interesting passage in james michener's poland depicting the "peasant's maul" made by studding flint into a growing ash tree, and the familiy going into the woods, as it was time to cut "the weapon on which their lives would depend" for the (im pretty sure it was) battle of grunwald.
Good pull! I had not come across it, but rest assured, I will be checking it out ASAP.
Very few companies are making unique products like this, it is very appreciable and I will definitely be checking out the website at some point in time.
Thank you kindly! It is genuinely appreciated.
Would you like a chunk of black locust? I have some thats still wet, and some that is well dried.
Absolutely. You can hit me up at our business email birchousewc@yahoo.com and we can hash out the details.
😂😂😂
These are so cute wtf! I love them!!
Thank you kindly! It is genuinely appreciated!
Aww I love your crafts! Just found your video!
Dang how do you pump out new products this fast!
A lot of this is stuff that has been in stock for a while, and we have just now begun to utilize UA-cam shorts to advertise our goods. We are also in the high production season as we do a few festivals through the summer and fall.
Looks awesome!
That’s for decoration it won’t last as a weapon
Why do you say that
Looks nicely made, doesn't seem like it has any historical basis though. Did it have any other names?
Thank you for watching! It is genuinely appreciated. Generally, they are just called mauls, though clubs or bludgeons could be used as stand ins. We were largely inspired by the work of Tod Cutler, who also crafts period accurate arms and armor, though on a much bigger scale.
Could use a better handle! That handle has grain runoff in it.
Bro that is sick!!! You have some real talent man
Where do you get your studs
We use CS Osbourne decorative nails for the studs on our War Clubs. While they are very nice , I'm excited to say that we are looking to cast our own studs in-house later in the year. Thanks for watching! We genuinely appreciate it.
Where did you get the studs
Is anyone stupid enough to spend two hundred bucks for three of them? Little greedy if you ask me.
Very nice
Thank you kindly!
Will be buying one or two of these. It will be a great gift. You do really good work. I always wanted to make one like these but never have! Glad to find your channel
Thank you kindly. We sincerely appreciate your support!
Wow. Where did you get yours
Thanks! We make them right here at Birchouse Woodcrafts! Here are links to all the places you can find our goods! (PS, we have 4 in stock right now!) . . .

@@birchouse awesome! Sorry I got over excited and commented before you said that you made it and where I could buy... Haha your shields look great too I like the historical type
Absolutely fantastic work mate!
Thank you kindly! We were very happy with this build
Not saying it would not be effective. Honestly looks like it would send my ass 10 feet in the opposite direction. It is the type of weapon you get hit by and I imagine you would wish not to be wearing armor so it could kill you and you would not have to live the rest of your life as a crippled or be literally beaten like a pinata until you burst open like a pinata. Only point is that I have dropped cinder blocks from about 3feet off the floor and they will shatter like that you drop a bone from that height won't break. Bones are not harder than a cinder block but they are way less brittle.
Thanks for the watch! For the same reason cinder blocks are used for punching demos in martial arts, we chose to break one more for the visceral appeal than how sturdy they are...also no one would volunteer a bone so...
@@birchouse good point never did martial arts lol. Was just wondering why you chose a brick. Also I don't think we need to be ready on bones pretty sure a guy with your weight/strength can easily break bones with a baseball bat imagine a steel reinforced baseball bat lol.
In Argentina gineknee pigs are a staple of food to eat on holidays there its fun to know what different countries eat some places eat scorpions, grasshoppers, turtles, the giant land turtles, Africa has Alligator,camin, crocodile, armadillos ,skunks,snakes the pythons rattlesnake,
1st comment!
First of the year! Nice!
Very interesting, Thanks....
As a young boy I noticed how much better it was throwing a short stick, 35 cm or so, than throwing a stone. It would be the simplest of hunting tools! Perfect for rabits. But you could probably knock out larger animals too. If you weighten one end with a stone (a kind of stone ax, or rather stone club) you certainly could hunt with that. If these existed historically, they wouldn't leave any trace. The wood would disappear and a stone glued to it would look like any other stone. Not recognizable as a tool, like an edged stone is.
I'm wondering why they never use shorter arrows. Perhaps like a bow arrow. But if you have those, you would probably have a bow too. I can't see why it wouldn't work though. A video about that? A lighter dart and a longer atlatl? If you have to hold the spear, that must weaken your grip, and that would interfere with the throw. Wouldn't two pegs holding the dart in place be a good idea? I think I would curve the handle of the atlatl to improve its dynamics. It's like with an ax handle. A straight one is inferior.
Howdy! You found the old video. We just uploaded a remake of this video that is both better quality and more concise. I will attempt to answer some of your questions, however, I am but a simple craftsman and I do not profess to be an expert. The atlatl is a spear thrower and pre-dates the bow and arrow. When superior bow technology arrives the spear shortens to an arrow. Some archeological atlatl finds do have spear rest and you would not need to balance the spear in your fingers. Some do not, and some have finger holes to enhance your grip. My guess is that this is all very primitive technology and it was all trial and error. There are a few museum pieces out there that have a slight curve to them. (and now that you've pointed it out, we'll probably build a few for our shop, another rabbit hole to dive into) But it seems that most are straight. My guess again is the primitive nature of the tool and the people building it. Thank you so much for giving us a watch and for the insightful comments! We are a small business and it means a lot us.
Heyyy really appreciate this it was good video I do have a request can you do target practice like tips and tricks stuff like that
Thank you kindly! As a small business, we do sincerely appreciate the support. Alas, I am ultimately a craftsman, and I would certainly not call myself a professional with the atlatl, nor would I pretend to be otherwise. We do try to share short informative videos that complement the goods we have on offer.
Glad to hear your answer. As always, I enjoy your remarks and work.
Thank you kindly!
I used to take courses on history and archaeology a century ago and always wondered what it would feel like to throw an atlatl. Thank you so much for making this video! You said it was short, and it is! More people should share what they know with others and it doesn't take a long-winded video to do that.
Imagine this guy running through the rain forest shirtless ala Apocalipto.
This was probably adapted to become the ball thrower or at least one variant was
So how do you throw a stick with a stick the same way you throw a baseball?
It's not an exact 1 to 1 comparison, but just using the same basic motion
@@birchouse oh okay, so I throw it underhand or overhand or sidearm? Alot of ways to throw a baseball And I'm holding the thrower differently than I am a baseball fyi
I couldnt seem to find these on your shop 😢
Hello there! My apologies, you caught us in the middle of a shop reorganization. I just added one to the shop as of this writing. You can also contact us at the links below to have a custom order made. birchousewc@yahoo.com facebook.com/Jczich?mibextid=ZbWKwL
dang thats sick fam
would have thought you had 20000 subs of quality bro keep it up
Thank you kindly!
As if 20k is a lot
@unilajamuha91 Whether we have 20 or 20k, we appreciate all of our subs! To be honest, I am not a UA-camr. This channel is supplementary to the Birchouse Woodcrafts business.
@@unilajamuha91 I bet your real fun at parties
Hey birchouse, what is your dream project that you just haven't been able to undertake yet?
Your cameraperson breathes kinda heavy lol
Lets see, how effective is the atlatl? Well, the native americans lost their land in battle... However.... They survived... Good enough. I'm going to start crafting some of these.
Nice! Best wishes in your build!
