Faithfull FAISARH Roofers Slaters Axe - Right Handed, Blue, 356 x 121mm

Product Information

In some cases, Neolithic methods or tools even proved to be advantageous over their modern-day counterparts for example stone tools held a sharper edge longer than steel. The other friend and i were out trailing for about 5 and a half hours yesterday in wet conditions but intermittently he'd get long periods of terrible cogging with the water getting into the sensor connections despite dielectric grease, but even doing some mud bog runs, the axe was flawless. At times it was helpful to wedge the stave between two trees and brace it to stop it from sliding out; this formed a simple but effective clamp or shave horse substitute, which made working on the stave far more efficient (See Figure 13).

Effort plays a large role; thus, materials or methods are sometimes a compromise in terms of their quality. If the task can be completed to a satisfactory functional standard, corners are sometimes cut to get there. Of note is also the opportunistic nature of this project. For example, adequate materials were scavenged or bartered from peers where possible and function was deemed more important than aesthetic. Manufacturing steps were analysed more closely than if the effort to complete them had been less. However, this was partly because the project’s sole aim was to produce a functional Neolithic bow and arrow out of local materials, nothing more. Besides, it is likely some ‘effort corners’ were only cut because the bowyer was ‘tainted’ by modern tool use and production methods and therefore occasionally frustrated by the effort and time involved in the Neolithic equivalents for example the grinding of the slate axe head. Working to a two-week deadline will have also undoubtedly influenced choices. Also, probably more importantly, what motors/gearing does one use with brushless systems in crawlers? I would assume 1406 motors, around 2000-2300kv? Sarich, S.J., 2011. Variations in Arrow Technology: An Experimental Exploration of the Effectiveness of Fletching. Nebraska Anthropologist 166, pp.18-29. Finally, in climatic terms relatively recent in the Holocene, pollen evidence points to a climate not dissimilar to what it is today in Scandinavia (Seppä and Birks, 2001).BTW, where is the "twig"? I didn't see it in neither the production nor the product and, as you pointed out, the handle is not necessary for the ulu. The lever and spring on the clamp to hold the unnecessary sand paper was as close as I could see. Production looked more like "wheel" tech to me...lots of "wheels" used. I would also like to point out that the twig is unnecessary for a knife, a string or leather wrap was more likely used for the first knife handle.

Yes, in the sense that they're the only ones offering the motors required to run the Axe system. No, because they're based on a different technology, it's not just that the plug is different, a Mamba X for example wouldn't be able to run Xerun Axe motors either. I'm not saying it's good, or bad - i'm just saying it's actually not a ripoff like Traxxas or Apple likes to pull, these motors/ESCs/signals are physically different from what other brushless systems do. Normal brushless sensored systems use Hall sensors to determine position, the Xerun Axe motors do not have those - they use something called "Field oriented Control".An elk hide was soaked in the lake for several days prior to being processed for other projects and the bowstring. Soaking opened up the pores making the hair fall out and softened the hide sufficiently for it to be workable. It also allowed fish and other small organisms to start the defleshing process. Once out of the lake, it was dehaired and defleshed by laying it over a fleshing beam and scraping both sides vigorously until all hair and fatty membrane scraps were gone.

How to fit ridge tiles on a slate roof? Three single strands of tendon were used to bind the fletchings, as well as dots of tar at either end (See Figure 10). The radial three veined method was used, placing the feathers at equidistant points, naturally parallel at 120° from each other (Sarich, 2011, p.23). The resultant arrow was 76cm long, ⌀10.5mm and weighed 44g (See Figure 11). Production of the Bow

Once rough shaping was complete, the slate wedge and various flint blades were used to remove smaller amounts of material and focus on a uniform taper. At this stage, knots were also carefully carved down, but an excess of material was left around these fundamentally weak points of the bow to compensate. If you're replacing a broken slate tile, you can use a slate cutter with hole punch to ensure the slate is cut to size, this will allow you to hang from the roof. Whereas slate axes are best for trimming roof slates to size. LONG LASTING & LOW PRICES ON SLATING TOOLS For further information on how to cut slate read our blog on slate cutting methods.

Indisputably, Neolithic bowyers would have been more highly skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable of their natural world (Prior, 2000), but the builder of this bow still brought extensive bow-building, bushcraft, and primitive skills experience to the table nonetheless.

Feathers were split and cut to size for the three fletchings (c. 85mm long, protruding c. 22mm) and tendon prepared for the bindings, both tasks used sharp flint blades. The tendon was the achilles tendon from a locally hunted elk. It was cut from the hoof using a flint blade and then dried out over several days. Following drying, it was pounded with a smooth stone and a mallet to separate the fibres (c. 20cm long). These were teased out to provide strong bindings for both the arrowhead and the fletchings.

Concerning the "vintage" quality, There's evidence that some ancient cultures really did use ground slate knives like this, rather than (or possibly in conjunction with) knapped knives.
