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

Product Information

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 Please remember to always wear PPE when cutting slate as it is an extremely sharp material and can easily splinter. Finally, the twig technology quote. I like how it over-simplifies what a huge development tools were for us primates. I admit that it doesn't mesh perfectly with the topic, but it was just too funny for me to get out of my head. It's a great little book, but it's really about conservation, not evolution or anthropology. 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.

An ulu is a roughly axe shaped knife used mainly for processing foods and hides. You’ve probably seen flint knives before. Flint was a very popular material for prehistoric humans. When properly worked, it bears one of the sharpest possible edges. However, some cultures, such as the Inuit, did not have ready access to flint, or a similar, glassy material. Instead, these people used slate. While flint blades are made by fracturing (knapping) the stone, slate blades are made by grinding the stone, much like a steel blade. Slate isn't as hard as flint, and therefore can't hold an edge as well, but make no mistake, these blades can cut meat and hide with very effectively.

This is significant when working with stone tools and perhaps points to a more opportunistic mindset, with effort weighed against functionality.

Wait what hobbywing is pulling an apple now? I say avoid that dirty tactic all day. How very dare they.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). The bow’s draw weight exceeded expectations, 80-85 pounds at 26 inch draw, and was too much for the archer to achieve anything more than a ¾ draw. The arrow flew true, due to its heavy slate tip and fletchings. Initial shooting tests were conducted at 10-15m, but due to the large draw weight, a degree of accuracy was lost. In the right hands, or with a reduction in draw weight, the bow could certainly be lethal and accurate at twice the distances tested, if not more. Although basic, made with Neolithic tools and from suboptimal timber, it was sufficient for target shooting and certainly could have killed. Conclusion well as the title states. I'll be getting something new soon-ish, not entirely decided what Kit it'll be, but i know i'd like a brushless setup in the garage. I know that brushed motors are fine, i do have multiple Trailmasters in the garage already, but it's a nice system to have. Now, at these pricepoints, i'd like to not make the mistake and buy the wrong one. From the limited research i did, i can tell that the Mamba X is the more "open source" variant, with the Hobbywing having a proprietary motor connector. The Mamba X also can run brushed motors, which is a boon because due to the price, it might be less painful to get the Mamba X first, and run it with a Trailmaster until the waters have settled and i can approach my wife again for something new that i absolutely need and can't live without. That being said, if the Axe is just plain better, that point would be moot.
