@@cephlo1 Primitive technology doesn't own the bushcraft genre, get over yourself. This man has spent hours of producing quality videos for you to watch for free. What are you complaining about, go do something productive.
As a man with experience with steel and a forge, I'm pretty amazed at how you got from that big hunk of impurity laden iron, to get to that flat, straight knife by beating on it with an uneven hammer surface on an uneven rock. You sir, are the epitome of raw talent. And at such a seemingly young age........mind blown.
@Sonny Kane of course it's fake. They use modern tools and stage bits of "hard work". These guys even stage animal rescue videos while putting poor animals in grave danger themselves. Look it up, I'm really not trolling here.
@J/D: Look at the close-ups of his blade, in his various videos. They are by no means straight and flat. They are what you would expect from being formed between a rock and a hard spot. They are simply "Close enough" to get the job done.
@@jimbayler4277 The piece at 8:45 is 100% not forged from the iron smelted in that location. Which is fine for the purpose of showing how it's done generally without spending days of hammering. However: If he would explain why he takes these shortcuts, instead of pretending, there would be way less hate.
Now this is the true definition of making a knife from scratch. This dude is a true blacksmith. He really surpassed my expectations. Way better than other blacksmiths on UA-cam. Great job man👍👍👍
I would also like to see the whole process, as while he clearly had everything he needed and knew how to do it, some cuts are a bit jumpy. Which could be a sign of shortcuts being taken for the sake of time and effort, or just a sign of someone who gets that majority of his audience doesn't want to trudge through days of forging footage. But personally I would like to see the iron take shape (particularly towards the end, which has the most drastic changes between cuts), and not just it being a very bent stick of metal in one scene, to being a really flat stick that just needs some polishing to get an edge and be done.
You realize how long forging with wooden tools and stones take??? Around 1 and a half week. I dont think a video could show all the proses. Just because its daylight doesnt mean its not the next day. You have no idea how long this took
There is a little "cheating" but I don't mind cause I see this more as concept videos than actually hard core stone age role playing. Those iron(steel) pieces where not from the iron bloom he made as the bloom where pretty high in slag and impurities as he didn't use any silica sand and didn't drain any slag in the melting process. The iron bloom would need much work and forge welding to become a solid piece of iron/steel. That would take a very large amount of coal and would be difficult even with proper tools so I don't mind the short cuts.
Well... in theory you could just hammer that chunk of very crude iron over and over for ages slowly pulling the slag and carbon in excess out of it. It will probably fall apart many, many times but you can put it together again by melting it. And then hammering it again and again, eventually starting folding it when it gets reasonably malleable (without proper tools this will take you eons but, hey, nothing it's impossible when you have a good amount of perseverance and elbow grease). When you have folded it some thousand of times it will be a pretty good chunk of "steel-ish" iron.
@@Henrik.Yngvesson I have. Iron and Steel become quite malleable once you get it as hot as shown in the video. Impurities, and the rapid deterioration of the wooden tools are a problem though. I'm glad to see he switched over to smashing it with rocks, against a bigger rock. The cheapest anvil I've ever used was a good chunk of quartzite (be mindful of sparks and shards though)
I don't know if he is cheating or not but he works hard and the forging looks real. The fake primitive type channels use aluminum and pretend its iron.
I love how over time you see that rip on the shirt grow bigger showing just how much time and effort he puts into this. Do you remember how that rip first started?
Truly amazing! For future reference you can use wood ash as flux to help kick out some of the slag and impurities. I'm not sure if you used any sort of flux, but the quality of the edge you acquired is really impressive considering you used "sticks and stones"

The fact that people are actually getting mad and calling him fake just because he didn’t add all the footage of the forging stage is actually sad, get a life🤬🖕.This guy is amazing at what he does, keep it up👌👍
The end result is cool, BUT I really didn't like the huge gap between the split halfes of the steel lump to the finished axe head and the square piece for the blade - I wonder what happened between...
A great content creator, spite the fact that he is the only person who became a Forgesmith in technology, even though this is my first time watching one of his videos, be safe out there!
I wish there was a days counter in the corner so I could also understand the time frame. As amazing and wonderful and creative as this is, it also gives the illusion this is all done in the amount of a single day. I would like to know not only the how but the how long.
Good work dude! I would suggest u to make iron shovel, so u can use it to dig clay easier. Try to make blast furnace with clay bricks, thats gonna be more durable, and higher temperature achieavable. Cook clay bricks will be much better mixed with mortar made from limestones and sand. Also make pinchers from iron. Those will have better grip, and ur process will be way more faster. I wanna see u update ur hut, with bricks and roof with wood chindlers. If u manage to do this ur legend.
i like the hut and plus them other channel that build end less houses with the pool,dog house ,two story .the hut is his own little trade mark y change whats not broken
Nah, dude. I firmly believe this man did that all with a friggen rock and more rocks. It's stupidly slow and takes a long time, but I've seen it done by people in a few videos shot in parts of Africa. Most of the work he has done here on a few things is basically grinding work with a series of rocks and water. Stupidly tedious, but it can surely be done. I just hope this guy gets his hands on some sort of leather and uses it to protect his feet for this little projects.. He also needs to make a pair of tongs, like metal ones.
all the primitive blacksmith nerds in the comments section who never pulled iron from the earth criticizing a man who built this entire farm from the ground up using what was around him in nature. Doesn't matter if he cheats a little, we see the -method- from what he has, and let him carry on to give us the next advancements and development in the next video. Glad to see new videos! Cant wait for what's next :D
Good effort.. but I'm sure you took some short cuts... There were some big jumps in your smithing process. We like honesty on UA-cam - the more then better!
Man, we don't wanna see two weeks of hammering, nonetheless we all can see that's a bought rough hammer, without bronze age tools he'd never be able to get that clean material, but that's not the purpose of the video... Just relax and enjoy.
@@lekaozinho The purpose of the video is clear - making those metal tools with his primitive set up. It can give people the wrong impression & mislead. We all look at this because we like to know what is possible and to learn. You can't learn anything properly if people are taking sneaky short cuts and pretending to have achieved something they haven't. Honesty goes a long way and we'd all appreciate it if he was completely truthful about the path he took to get the end result. We know he worked hard anyway, but unlikely to get those basic metal components as rough foundry finish using the tools he had. I wish him luck anyway.
Unfortunately,pure iron VERY RARELY or DOESN'T exist in a huge lump.Results of smelting iron ore is normally just mostly rocks and slag along with small amounts of iron. It would take lots of iron ore to produce a lump of solid iron.The difference between slag and iron is that slag shatters on impact while iron doesn't.This shows that your hammer is iron,and not slag.The absence of footage from hot molten lump to solid iron is very suspicious as well.
if you watched some his old videos, there is somes that show the process of making iron chunk like that! and it's looked pretty same as the one on this video
@@sonneillon4435 Nah that is how wrought iron has been traditionally made for centuries. Whether it is fake is up for debate, but the purity of the metal is no sign of it being fake.
@@hibahprice6887 that's a nonsensical argument, humans did not have metal tools for much longer than they have had them. It literally took millennia for us as a race to get to where he got in a period of a few years, so yes it is as "complicated" as I'm making it out to be.
@@codygosney976 Ты серьезно думаешь что железо можно добывать в таких условиях только способом PT ? собиранием маленьких шариков с керамики?) Почитай что такое болотная руда, и почему она "болотная" И процентное содержание железа в той руде, потом посмотри с какой легкостью гнется металлический прут разогретый до красна, и представь как из рыхлого, разогретого куска железа можно с помощью камня "сжать" его до нужной формы. Раньше всё это делалось, почему же сейчас это нереально? Может людям работающим в офисе это и кажется невозможным, но людям занимающимся "этим" намного легче оценить сложность, и подлинность тех вещей, и мне не особо важно что бы он делал их полностью камнями, он может за кадром воспользоватся любым инструментом, это только экономит время, не отменяя факта что это может быть сделано и обычным камнем, но намного дольше.
Nice work, but it is very unlikely that the steel tools you made are actually from the "iron" you started with. Personally I have nothing against using modern steel, but at least be honest enough to point that out.
@@DawgmeatOriginal You honestly think he made that from a lump of 'ore' a wooden mallet and a stone ? You need to go see a specialist to get help before you develope into a person.
@@ianallen2 i mean its possible, we dont know how long this actually took. I and humans had to have done this at one point in time, how do you think humans made iorn tools in the first place
@@ianallen2 you're right. You CANNOT make iron/steel tools without using iron/steel tools. But wait.... I wonder how we got tools to begin with.... Probably aliens delivered all the tools we needed to get more tools. But how did the aliens get the tools? Hmmm. My head hurts from too much thinking.

I lost respect for his channel due to dishonesty, not the work he did.
two notes from me. 1st) while wrapping the hammer, you could wrap the rope around the steel part to avoid it getting lose later on. 2nd) the knife handle could've been smaller to be easier for use.
If he was shooting all this .. where does he get electricity to charge the camera? Then it is still mounted .. he would do all this for more than one month, completely taking off. After all, the goal is to show, and not to prove to you that all this is done by yourself.
Geeezzz God!! You in bare arms, shorts and bare feet out there messing with a forge and blacksmithing! You are danged lucky you haven’t burnt yourself bad! Whewww Shiver!! But I will tell you what!

Your immense skills and work ethic are to be admired and respected, especially as a young man!
Сначала мы видим как разогревается и деревянной колотушкой долбится не понятный сгусток из кусков металла и шлаков каменных, а потом сразу цилиндрический и прямоугольные куски довольно чистого сплава железа. Это как так? Монтаж, склейка и обман?
Так каменный шлак постепенно отбивается колотушкой. Даже учитывая что это реально фейк - ни кто не будет смотреть 8 часов подряд как он долбит этот кусок, постепенно сплющивая его. Хотя без кузнечных щипцов и нормального упора - это конешно весьма затруднительно.
Izual No_Oname согласен что 8 часов не будут, но склеить и этапами показать нужно было, а мы видим начало и хорошие куски железа. Причем довольно крупные, в том куске что он долбил казалось металла на один нож, а тут с килограмма полтора железа вышло. Что-то тут не так
dimasletnii спасибо, не знал. А как можно получить такую форму металлических изделий без молотка и такое количество металла вообще. Возможно такое из крицы?
@@vasilevalexander там у него в кадре возле наковальни куски камня разбросаны,видел?вот ими и долбил.Кстати там ещё видно куски отбитого шлака,так что похоже всё правда.Ещё на стоп-кадре видно несколько тонких пластин-отщепов от камня,видно камень кололся когда он им крицу окучивал
If you can only show the different forging stage of the hamer .. You d this too fast, cant believe its real, even if your first iron tool seems to be made without cheat. For the blade of your (big) knife I absolutly know you can have do it alone, so easy to do with a real hammer.
Надеюсь он не слишком часто халтурит используя современные материалы и инструменты. Структура металла слишком плотная для самоплава из крицы. Металл месяцами в кузнецах вычищали многократной перековкой при относительно нормальном инструменте, а тут пень и киянка. Да и ровные края полосы под мачете в глаза бросились. Хотя я бы посмотрел именно на первобытный молот из такого материала. Со всеми кавернами и неровностями. Но в целом вполне достоверно. Правда попытки скрыть при помощи видео монтажа, показались довольно неловкими, лучше бы правду сказал, что мол для скорости сделал именно так. Так было бы по крайне мере честнее.

What he need 1st is a pair of tongs. He has zero control with the fucking bamboo and he has no assistant to help him hold the hot bar in place.
@@Zamolxes77 yep, but a scythe might be more pressing for now, tongs are hard to make without a proper anvil 🤔, he could try elevating that big rock, hammering while hunched can't be good for his back, wood or stone carving tools, or just a pickaxe(to extract ore more easily) could be good choices
A saw? Nah, already has an axe. An anvil? A tree stump will do. A perforator? Why??? He just needed a chisel, some nails, and some tongs lol.
Patience. Diligence. Labour. Bravo and respect)
My man so skilled he passed the Bronze Age
Wow, the best forger I ever watch. Big thumbs up to this guy.
The fact that people are actually getting mad and calling him fake just because he didn’t add all the footage of the forging stage is actually sad, get a life🤬🖕.This guy is amazing at what he does, keep it up👌👍
This video is so valuable, other primitive parts of the world need to watch this and learn to do things for themselves.
the dawn of a new era!
congrats friend. this will open up many possibilities!
cant wait to see whats next
Super vidéo tu est le meilleur 👍👍
The end result is cool, BUT I really didn't like the huge gap between the split halfes of the steel lump to the finished axe head and the square piece for the blade - I wonder what happened between...
He bought some steel
he had to take it into the smithy
I know it's fake but at least he makes a good fake, it's still enjoyable
I believe we can do the same thing, with difficulties.
@@adamkuba4848 I love the place where he makes this stuff, seems like the paradise I always dreamed about...
Восхищенна!Смотрю твои ролики ,тоже хочется перевернуть мир,ты молодец!Сколько знаний у тебя!Спасибо за видио!
That shirt is gonna be in a museum someday :)
it is official, this is the best primitive channel
This is so awesome. I really like your work. Next stop: crate an Anvil :)
A great content creator, spite the fact that he is the only person who became a Forgesmith in technology, even though this is my first time watching one of his videos, be safe out there!
I wish there was a days counter in the corner so I could also understand the time frame. As amazing and wonderful and creative as this is, it also gives the illusion this is all done in the amount of a single day. I would like to know not only the how but the how long.
Excellent ! 🇨🇦
I seen that rock of iron before, yay more good stuffs!
This shit is hella satisfying to watch. I love the serenity of a man working in nature to build things.
I respect you a lot!
This is why your my favorite channel. To have gotten to the Iron Age
Уважаю так держать😀
Better tools, beget better tools. Well done.
Good work dude! I would suggest u to make iron shovel, so u can use it to dig clay easier. Try to make blast furnace with clay bricks, thats gonna be more durable, and higher temperature achieavable. Cook clay bricks will be much better mixed with mortar made from limestones and sand. Also make pinchers from iron. Those will have better grip, and ur process will be way more faster. I wanna see u update ur hut, with bricks and roof with wood chindlers. If u manage to do this ur legend.
i like the hut and plus them other channel that build end less houses with the pool,dog house ,two story .the hut is his own little trade mark y change whats not broken
How about glass
Never seen so many haters for a skills tech video.
I'm feeling mighty sceptical that he actually forged those two lumps of bloom into the iron he used. Glossing over that is real convenient.
He's shown his process in more detail in other videos. That's where his primitive axe came from.
Nah, dude. I firmly believe this man did that all with a friggen rock and more rocks. It's stupidly slow and takes a long time, but I've seen it done by people in a few videos shot in parts of Africa. Most of the work he has done here on a few things is basically grinding work with a series of rocks and water. Stupidly tedious, but it can surely be done. I just hope this guy gets his hands on some sort of leather and uses it to protect his feet for this little projects.. He also needs to make a pair of tongs, like metal ones.
@@demastust.2277
Yeabut, then he ain't primitive
@@tommypetraglia4688 tongs are very primitive! They are very very very very old as a concept.
@@demastust.2277 He must have read your comment because he made tongs! lol
You are my new hero.
I love this channel and admire his efforts. But that jump cut between 8.35 and 8.42, hurts. Perhaps proof of concept.
Love to see the amazing things you will do with your NEW tools
Muito inteligente e interessante meus parabéns 🙂🇧🇷
i was think at the start, that if it were me i'd make a hammer first XD
all the primitive blacksmith nerds in the comments section who never pulled iron from the earth criticizing a man who built this entire farm from the ground up using what was around him in nature.
Doesn't matter if he cheats a little, we see the -method- from what he has, and let him carry on to give us the next advancements and development in the next video.
Glad to see new videos! Cant wait for what's next :D
Man that was amazing video
I was very intrigued
Regards from Poland - Polska
Good effort.. but I'm sure you took some short cuts...
There were some big jumps in your smithing process.
We like honesty on UA-cam - the more then better!
Man, we don't wanna see two weeks of hammering, nonetheless we all can see that's a bought rough hammer, without bronze age tools he'd never be able to get that clean material, but that's not the purpose of the video... Just relax and enjoy.
@@lekaozinho The purpose of the video is clear - making those metal tools with his primitive set up.
It can give people the wrong impression & mislead. We all look at this because we like to know what is possible and to learn.
You can't learn anything properly if people are taking sneaky short cuts and pretending to have achieved something they haven't.
Honesty goes a long way and we'd all appreciate it if he was completely truthful about the path he took to get the end result. We know he worked hard anyway, but unlikely to get those basic metal components as rough foundry finish using the tools he had.
I wish him luck anyway.
Unfortunately,pure iron VERY RARELY or DOESN'T exist in a huge lump.Results of smelting iron ore is normally just mostly rocks and slag along with small amounts of iron. It would take lots of iron ore to produce a lump of solid iron.The difference between slag and iron is that slag shatters on impact while iron doesn't.This shows that your hammer is iron,and not slag.The absence of footage from hot molten lump to solid iron is very suspicious as well.
if you watched some his old videos, there is somes that show the process of making iron chunk like that! and it's looked pretty same as the one on this video
- HiMBi- ah,so it seems.Many thanks.
This type of videos are magic.
"Your knife... will keel."
jus say kill, always annoyed me how he says keel, that nigga too stupid to speak.
He has already made video camera ,cloth material, sewing machine..............Amazing skills !
Cant wait for industries revolution 1.0
I want to see his next creations
XD
как элегантно вы миновали чугун и сразу изготовили сталь из руды! Браво!)))
So you failed to forge the metal using your wooden hammer and skipped to like you did????
He did a skip too quick imo, but you can see him forge the iron using the flat rocks as hammer 8:13 - 8:33
the whole process is fake anyway, the end product is too pure.
@@sonneillon4435 Nah that is how wrought iron has been traditionally made for centuries. Whether it is fake is up for debate, but the purity of the metal is no sign of it being fake.
He used a rock instead of the wooden hammer.
Complete Bagel
Ima take a wild guess and say you’ve never forged a day in your life
This is actually pretty impressive
I like how the crappy iron ore magically turns into good steel, when we can’t see how it’s done.
That not a lump of ore, that's the crude iron from his last video
ua-cam.com/video/IhCQnqN9l4Y/v-deo.html his previous video on the crude iron
Si señor 😊👏👏👏
Eres todo un CRACK !!
Pretty sure that Alec Steele is feeling kind of inadequate right now.
Except for the part where he skips huge pieces of the forging process and makes tools magically appear on screen.
@@codygosney976 he skips the part where he goes to the store to buy a proper piece of steel
@@codygosney976 If everything was as "complicated" as you think, we would still be sitting in the Iron Age, for weeks collecting iron on one ax.
@@hibahprice6887 that's a nonsensical argument, humans did not have metal tools for much longer than they have had them. It literally took millennia for us as a race to get to where he got in a period of a few years, so yes it is as "complicated" as I'm making it out to be.
@@codygosney976 Ты серьезно думаешь что железо можно добывать в таких условиях только способом PT ? собиранием маленьких шариков с керамики?)
Почитай что такое болотная руда, и почему она "болотная" И процентное содержание железа в той руде, потом посмотри с какой легкостью гнется металлический прут разогретый до красна, и представь как из рыхлого, разогретого куска железа можно с помощью камня "сжать" его до нужной формы. Раньше всё это делалось, почему же сейчас это нереально? Может людям работающим в офисе это и кажется невозможным, но людям занимающимся "этим" намного легче оценить сложность, и подлинность тех вещей, и мне не особо важно что бы он делал их полностью камнями, он может за кадром воспользоватся любым инструментом, это только экономит время, не отменяя факта что это может быть сделано и обычным камнем, но намного дольше.
Nice.
I'm starting to like this channel more than even Primitive Technology, at least this guy uploads videos on a semi-regular basis.
Nice work, but it is very unlikely that the steel tools you made are actually from the "iron" you started with. Personally I have nothing against using modern steel, but at least be honest enough to point that out.
Just stfu bc u can't do it
@@DawgmeatOriginal are u sure? 'do you know this, sonneillon guy personally?
@@DawgmeatOriginal You honestly think he made that from a lump of 'ore' a wooden mallet and a stone ? You need to go see a specialist to get help before you develope into a person.
@@ianallen2 i mean its possible, we dont know how long this actually took. I and humans had to have done this at one point in time, how do you think humans made iorn tools in the first place
@@ianallen2 you're right. You CANNOT make iron/steel tools without using iron/steel tools.
But wait.... I wonder how we got tools to begin with....
Probably aliens delivered all the tools we needed to get more tools.
But how did the aliens get the tools? Hmmm. My head hurts from too much thinking.
Очень классный ролик. Спасибо за старания
You are very talented and hard working man! Congrats!
This is great ! Congrats!! What’s next? Maybe a waterwheel next ?? You could use it to make a sharpening tool or even a faster hammer . Sky is the limit now !!
Gives up at. 8:10 cuts to long cover shots, pops back at 8:40 with most work done with a real hammer, continues to finish with a stick....
Same with knife, 12:10 he has a bar stock, cut to long shots, intermittent shots, the at 12:50 he has profiled beveled blank, with a full drawn out tang... WTF?...C'MON
2 mins handle fitting, 1 min sharpen and VOILA! a friggen SAMURAI SWORD
Yup, he faked the iron age
So u want watch a video for 24 hours long? Don't u know its takes very long time to forged a steel even with proper machine.
@@waddefaq4325 I make knives, used a homemade forge for years, I KNOW what he didn't show and a pretty good idea the tools really used.. I just say why BS people?
@@Frie_Jemi why edit the comment. u make the knife from stock steel, he make knife from raw steel, melted rocks. And he use wooden hammer to forge. Don't u watch the whole video and previous video?? At least at the end he forged the machete. The whole process.
"1 min sharpen"??? Ofcourse he edit the video to shorten the video. I see the words u using seem like u being jealous and hate. Why so hate. Leave him alone if u hate. Don't watch. Go watch primitive technology channel making a clay and brick. Its good for u. ✌️
@@waddefaq4325 wtf u dont know what I know or like, I commented 3 different times, combined them to make it easier to read, thats why it says edited. If you can't tell he did work off CAm with other tools, fine... Others here weren't fooled. Time editing is not a problem, he just skipped ALL the parts where skills were used. I lost respect for his channel due to dishonesty, not the work he did.
two notes from me.
1st) while wrapping the hammer, you could wrap the rope around the steel part to avoid it getting lose later on.
2nd) the knife handle could've been smaller to be easier for use.
great job skipping all of the actual forging
If he realy would have forget the Lumb of Iron to the Iron rod and bare with the Stones, this video would be over one week long.
If he was shooting all this .. where does he get electricity to charge the camera? Then it is still mounted .. he would do all this for more than one month, completely taking off. After all, the goal is to show, and not to prove to you that all this is done by yourself.
Out of all channels this is the best
“Tony Stark was able to make this is a cave, with a box of scraps!!” Eat your heart out Tony.
Geeezzz God!! You in bare arms, shorts and bare feet out there messing with a forge and blacksmithing! You are danged lucky you haven’t burnt yourself bad! Whewww Shiver!! But I will tell you what! I have always been impressed with the amount of determination and work you have put into creating all the things you have, by yourself! Your immense skills and work ethic are to be admired and respected, especially as a young man!
It's primitive skills right down to bare feet.
Let's all be thankful he's not doing the loincloth thing
Сначала мы видим как разогревается и деревянной колотушкой долбится не понятный сгусток из кусков металла и шлаков каменных, а потом сразу цилиндрический и прямоугольные куски довольно чистого сплава железа. Это как так? Монтаж, склейка и обман?
Так каменный шлак постепенно отбивается колотушкой. Даже учитывая что это реально фейк - ни кто не будет смотреть 8 часов подряд как он долбит этот кусок, постепенно сплющивая его. Хотя без кузнечных щипцов и нормального упора - это конешно весьма затруднительно.
этот непонятный кусок называется крица,его именно надо греть и долбить пока не останется металл,возможно не один день заняло это.
Izual No_Oname согласен что 8 часов не будут, но склеить и этапами показать нужно было, а мы видим начало и хорошие куски железа. Причем довольно крупные, в том куске что он долбил казалось металла на один нож, а тут с килограмма полтора железа вышло. Что-то тут не так
dimasletnii спасибо, не знал. А как можно получить такую форму металлических изделий без молотка и такое количество металла вообще. Возможно такое из крицы?
@@vasilevalexander там у него в кадре возле наковальни куски камня разбросаны,видел?вот ими и долбил.Кстати там ещё видно куски отбитого шлака,так что похоже всё правда.Ещё на стоп-кадре видно несколько тонких пластин-отщепов от камня,видно камень кололся когда он им крицу окучивал
by far my most favourite video, right after the pressureised bamboo irrigation pipes
3:31 Its missing a pair!!! Gigitty gigitty
Lolz
Huge success! Think of all the progress he can make with these tools
If you can only show the different forging stage of the hamer .. You d this too fast, cant believe its real, even if your first iron tool seems to be made without cheat.
For the blade of your (big) knife I absolutly know you can have do it alone, so easy to do with a real hammer.
For those who think he cheated on the volume of bloom : ua-cam.com/video/gPf08sFpNXA/v-deo.html
This has got to be the most fascinating channel on UA-cam
ТЕПЕРЬ ДЕЛО ПОЙДЁТ!
полетит
в следующем видео уже телефоны собирать будет
Ручка у мачете немного толстовата
С каменного на медный с медного на железный потом пила после пилы бенза пила кароче деревьям хана будет
Надеюсь он не слишком часто халтурит используя современные материалы и инструменты. Структура металла слишком плотная для самоплава из крицы. Металл месяцами в кузнецах вычищали многократной перековкой при относительно нормальном инструменте, а тут пень и киянка. Да и ровные края полосы под мачете в глаза бросились. Хотя я бы посмотрел именно на первобытный молот из такого материала. Со всеми кавернами и неровностями. Но в целом вполне достоверно.
Правда попытки скрыть при помощи видео монтажа, показались довольно неловкими, лучше бы правду сказал, что мол для скорости сделал именно так. Так было бы по крайне мере честнее.
at this rate he will reach the industrial revolution in no time!!!
I like how important steps are skipped to hide the shortcuts that are taken to make some of this possible. Some is right, but so much deceptiveness...
This guy needs a True Value Hardware Store.
Bro, how do you work with molten metal bare foot?! Freaking me out, man.
