How to Haft a Primitive Axe

How to make a temporary quickie haft for a primitive axe

[@GalderIncarnate]

Thanks for the new vid! You hafted that so quickly, and it worked well, great job as always.

[@benlacrosse4872]

Even tho its old its a great video thanks for showing how easy it really is to haft a stone axe, i was able to put a rock on a handle really easily thank to this video but since i don't know how to knapp, it was a rock and not an axe head

[@wbworkout]

I thought you might have. I find rocks all the time. I seem attracted to them. I'd like to make one like yours but with a different handle. The basics you illustrated though were clear. Good to know.

WE DID THIS AS KIDS WHEN WE WOULD GO FISHING, WE WOULD GET BORED AFTER 8 HOURS AND START BUILDING BOWS AND AXES. GREAT FUN

[@alecseekins7916]

Neat idea. Your swinging mostly the whole axe head kind of like kinetic energy is being used like in a atlatl spear.

[@WildPrimitiveSkills]
