The guy in this slide is making a tool necessary for his camp by taking instruments (not like a drum set or a guitar) and striking them against rocks and some other instruments until they are as sharp as a butcher knife. The instruments used in this process are boons, antlers, rocks, wood and teeth. They made all of their tools away from camp because otherwise they would get rock and wood in there feet.

The tools made were knives: they made this by sharpening a rock; Arrow heads: they would do the same with this as the knife but they would point it instated of having a dull head; axe head: they take a bigger rock then used with a knife, sharpen one side of it and fastened it on to a piece of thick wood; a spear, also called a leister: they took a long pole and tied it on to a sharpened rock and two bones; and an adze: a long rock used for woodworking.
