Ok hear me out now if people in the middle ages made these out of iron would now bare with me here for a brief moment wouldn't it be easier to just....make one from...wood...?
@@nate_weiss_ 1/32 of an inch? That would be a bit less than a mm? interesting… I’m just asking because depending in the job a „precise measurement“ can mean something completely different. I for example used to work as a tool mechanic and we had to work in 1/100 (0.00004“) of a mm measurements. Sometimes even 1/1000. Don’t understand me wrong, I’m not criticising. I just find it interesting to hear what people of different crafts understand as precise.
No worries, pre industrial crafts usually have tolerances well looser than modern machines. But considering it’s mostly hand work, with hammers and files, I like to think that’s a high standard regarding blacksmithing. Pretty cool that you work to such an bonkers tolerance like that, must be some very important pieces you make
@@nate_weiss_ I made… I don’t work there anymore. But yeah… I wouldn’t necessarily say that those parts where more important, they just had to be so exact in order for the final piece to work as intended.
Ah, the good old "if you need a tool, build a tool" that any industry that's been around throughout our civilization uses. Saw a comment saying it as a blacksmiths motto, but as a Cabinet Maker I can say that we say the same. Sometimes we need help from the blacksmiths (since we can't exactly cut wood with wood), but it still holds true.
I like this, but all you did is make blacksmiths calipers. This isn't new. Maybe nobody is making and selling them the moment, but its not a new invention.
You are really good at smithing. Its always nice to watch someone blacksmithing who doesnt just make roughly the shapes on anvil, and then grind most of the tool out. Its like watching really skilled knife smiths very little grinding is needed to finish the blade when smith is skilled
This is ALL so far out of my wheelhouse, I have to pay for international shipping. (That's a joke. Not a great one, but if you don't get the gist, you CAN just scroll on.) Absolutely fascinating, efficient, & makes 100% sense.
After seeing how you could poke a hole in metal with metal when it's hot I feel smart about heating up metal sheets to drill through them easier with my crappy drill bits.
That's all fine but the Egyptians, needed engineering which they had none and not 1 plan was ever found recording that engineering plan , not 1 building especially as large as the pyramids of Egypt, has ever been built without engineering plans. Aliens which are fallen Angels built all the great wonders of the world the pyramids were power plants requiring water which does not go near the pyramids anymore.
A version of this exists to this day in mass manufacturing settings. They're called "Go No-Go" Gages. One gage is set to the maximum allowable tolerance, the other to the minimum, and it allows even unskilled workers to quickly and efficiently check to see if parts are in spec.
I’m sorry… literally. I’m way too lazy for that kinda work. I have no coordination. Can’t even boil water so a fire is out of the question. BUT! I do have this shiny new ($100.00) hundo I just printed on my shiny new laser printer… Interested iin a trade?😇
The terms with their definition &/or description that you are looking for that relate to measurements, dimensional sizing, dimensional relationship, and precision in crafting items within your field of work are: Calibrated Eye: when you have done something for so long that measuring tools have been seared into the visual center of your brain and become intuitive to the point that measurement tools are no longer required. (But you keep them on hand because everything that has ever been calibrated will require recalibration at some time.) Manual imperfection detection braille technique: touching an item in a manner that you focus on portions of the item using your hands &/or mechanical extentions there of in detecting or confirming the existence of minut imperfections in the item you are crafting. This identifies areas you will continue to refine until the imperfections are eliminated or reach a point that they are acceptable in the finished work. You can use your hands or a tool that glides over the surface of the item and acknowledges any surface mar, scratch, dent, , bend, twist, torsion, cavity, bur, divot, or mark that is not intended to exist in or on the finished product. As with a calibrated eye, this is a learned response developed by repetition of similar technique on similar items, surfaces, or products. The above things are used so frequently by craftpersons and artisans that they are at least second nature and even unconscious responses or behaviors exhibited by those artists. As for those who do not love numbers, I suggest that it is not that you hate them, as much as you don't fully understand them on a conscious level, but in obtaining a calibrated eye and manual imperfection detection by braille those very numbers are then integral and intuitive so much so that while the graphic representation of a number, formula, equation, or ability to communicate such to others may elude you, the results of those calculations are instantly available to your brain and muscle memory as you apply your skills in creating whatever you come up with that fits your needs and creativity. Here are useful terms in communicating such applications to others or helping you understand them yourself: SWAG: Scientific Wild Ass Guess. Just doing your thing and it worked as expected or advertised, no magic required! And my favorite: Rectal Guesstimate: just pull any number out of your ass, guessing at an approximate solution and achieving desired results. Usually this is a result of you not knowing the answer while your brain was trying to roll you that you really did know the answer and here it is! Long, humorous, true, useful. I hope you enjoyed this and gain some insight by it
I don’t know if some of these people are trolling, or if they are actually so brain dead that a Nigerian prince really needs them to send $10,000 worth of Applebees gift cards.
Was not expecting this to blow up! Thanks for all the support, you can find my classes on my website: www.nateweiss.org/
A simple intuitive tool to practice basics and make making things easier. I have to try this.
Fantastic video, best wishes to you.
well at least you manually forge your own thing rather than using a machine to help you in the forge which I respect from watching this short
You had my attention until you said "Jersey"
@@DeathSithe92 it’s northern jersey, right on the Delaware River, it’s not what you’re thinking 💀
Or buy a 1 dollar ruler at dollar general. Or a stick in the yard if you're broke broke
Yes I do!❤
Sweeeet
Very cool
Amazing ❤
I can do this but not efficiently 😅
Ok hear me out now if people in the middle ages made these out of iron would now bare with me here for a brief moment wouldn't it be easier to just....make one from...wood...?
This is what "ancient alien technology" actually looks like.
What is that tool called that you used to isolate what would become the jaws
oh neat i am Also in northern New Jersey
Very cool.😊
Tha cheerleader workin wit a lil work back there👀
I thought he was making a crucible,
At first.
Make crowbar
Looks like the brand of sacrifice
Yea folks get good at blacksmithing so you can defend yourself from the foreign neighbor
Or, you could just buy a pair of calipers. 🤡
Ooooof, it would feel so bad for a believer of the ancients astronauts to learn that 😂
I had a nephew that was a blacksmith. That guy could make almost anything.
Imagine dropping it and losing your critical measurement
Awesome! Thanks!
That’s actually genius, do you sell?
The funny thing is at least with machining metal the really precise measuring is comparative just like these
What is a „precise measurement“ for a smith?
I generally forge within 1/32” and file within .015” if I had to put numbers on it

work on your mixing boi voiceover so quiet royalty free music so loud :l
I thought the pyramids were built by aliens. Now I'm confused!

The design is my own, I wasn’t claiming that I invented calipers 😂
Sign up for a class to learn how to makes these imo if I knew I’d offer the knowledge for free this wolrd needs what it can get
Jokes on you, I wanna be a good whitesmith
I heard rumor of a certain Khajit looking for these...
Lol i live in North NJ, Sussex county
So the ancient tool was a compass?
Northern Jersey? What exit? 😊
Excellent👍👌👏👏👏🍺
Pretty!
That anvil has seen some serious love over the years. Love the setup
You are brilliant! No stupid! You can be brilliant and still hate numbers!
You are really good at smithing. Its always nice to watch someone blacksmithing who doesnt just make roughly the shapes on anvil, and then grind most of the tool out. Its like watching really skilled knife smiths very little grinding is needed to finish the blade when smith is skilled
Clean forging and beautiful design.
It's called Hand-eye-tool coordination!👍😃👍
Thought he was making an Uruk Hai sword
love how you started out with a power hammer making an ancient tool
the Titty-Pincher 2000
What is the tool called?
Very cool..
This is ALL so far out of my wheelhouse, I have to pay for international shipping. (That's a joke. Not a great one, but if you don't get the gist, you CAN just scroll on.) Absolutely fascinating, efficient, & makes 100% sense.
Got an audible wow from me at the end, love ancient tech 😍
Nice jod
Bro made a fire poker with a math degree.
After seeing how you could poke a hole in metal with metal when it's hot I feel smart about heating up metal sheets to drill through them easier with my crappy drill bits.
I don't understand how he uses the tool, can someone explain?
Just by looking at it you can see how youve made it don't need a class
Is it just me or did anyone else think he was making an eradication 😭
The more things change the more they stay the same
Nice, it needs a digital thingy on it and maybe Bluetooth
I'm jealous of the students
Only math nerds like numbers
Wait northern NJ? I wanna learn to black smith!
I love the stop motion look of this short. I dunno if it's on purpose but the way it played out made the metal look like plasticine lol.
I'm starting to wonder if the blacksmiths have left these hills of Eastern Tennessee.
Needed something small enough to measure your small enough eh guy???! Lojajaja you're not alone. I mean probably are but its a saying bruh!
Well, I don’t care to be a good blacksmith, but I sure do enjoy these videos!
very nice and well made
But my ruler dont shift if I lay it down wrong xD
Wooow they pullin out the estimator
Thats the most badass looking measuring device I've ever seen
That's all fine but the Egyptians, needed engineering which they had none and not 1 plan was ever found recording that engineering plan , not 1 building especially as large as the pyramids of Egypt, has ever been built without engineering plans.

Irrelevant but, I done that when i got my first chainsaw. Just wanted to cut stuff.
South jersey is better
I’m so confused about how he got that perfect square out.
You can get digital calipers for $20 lol
Missing the point by a country mile there bud
@@nate_weiss_ I never was good at school
You made calipers
Thanks for the tip man
A version of this exists to this day in mass manufacturing settings. They're called "Go No-Go" Gages. One gage is set to the maximum allowable tolerance, the other to the minimum, and it allows even unskilled workers to quickly and efficiently check to see if parts are in spec.
Those gages are limited to a single set measurement. What he made is not limited and is a type of caliper.
I’m sorry… literally. I’m way too lazy for that kinda work. I have no coordination. Can’t even boil water so a fire is out of the question. BUT! I do have this shiny new ($100.00) hundo I just printed on my shiny new laser printer…
Interested iin a trade?😇
the equivalent of using your hands like this
👆🏾_____👆🏾 and carrying the measurement to the saw
Mf has 2 pritchel holes usually used for punching holes, goes straight for the hardy hole, the one hole there with a specific use, holding tools.
Your neighbors must love you lol
I’d just hit the thing until it takes the shape I need but this works too😅
Me watching this knowing ill never be able to use this knowledge: "hmm indeed"
I like the design. Going to fire up 123D design and 3D print a set. Thanks!!

Dude, I could benefit from using one of those
Northern New Jersey was recently kicked out of the country.
I absolutely love the editing done for the hammering in this video! Its so satisfying
Omg I thought the video is gonna be about Will Smith I'm sorry
I see I'm a carpenter and numbers trigger me
A well made and good looking tool , well done.
Calipers.
that's awesome
Redsmith
youre the only person in Jersey id trust, keep up the content brotha
Where did the music go?
I wanna do this bit my school doesnt teach this
I have a pair that belonged to my great grandfather. I also have his anvils and forge blowers
And if you wanna be a bad blacksmith, slap your friend on live TV

Do not try and bend the spoon-that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.
