BUILT TO FLOAT | Primitive Boat Made from Hazel and Hide

Before fibreglass and rivets, there were hazel rods and animal hide. In this full-length build, Will Lord constructs a Stone-Age-style coracle - a lightweight boat made entirely by hand using hazel wood, water buffalo hide, and natural cordage.

This isn't a reenactment. It's a return to the skills that once carried our ancestors across rivers and through time.

Watch as Will:
🌿 Bends hazel into a flexible boat frame
🪢 Stretches water buffalo hide over the form and lashes it with cordage
🔥 Seals the seams with ancient knowledge and patience
🌊 Sets off on the water - no nails, no glue, no modern tools
