Isn't a kiln just a type of furnace able to reach temperatures capable of vitrification? So either one is technically correct, but one is specific when the goal is reaching high temperatures. (Alternately the term oven could be used just as well, but that is more commonly used in terms of cooking and food preparation.)
@@billbolton I just thought she wasn't used to having her work get that much attention. Which, like RULERofSTARS says, is quite adorable. Being excited for your own work and appreciating others giving your expertise special attention is always a treat.

As a glass blower, I can confirm that you got it about 90% right. You are a quick study, you observations are on point. p.s. I'm happy that glass blowers in every country have a distinct dishevelled look, a mix of 1900 coal burner and excited hobo.

Nice, also the Victoria lady - so kind and cute - kudos for giving an interview in her work clothes in the middle of the project. I know people who dress up to take their rubbish out.

How do you manage to produce such wholesome, interesting and educational videos for so long? Can't think of a single video you've made, no matter how simple, that hasn't got me drawn in from beginning to end.
Well if it's wool, it's basically inflammable and not a problem; issues will be mostly cosmetic, maybe some small holes. If it's a flammable natural fabric, the worst that can happen is a spot catches on fire and you slap it, putting it out. You now have a hole to patch and some slightly singed hairs, maybe, but that's it. Even if it the entire thing catches fire and burns off of you, you'd have to be quite daft to let it burn long enough to badly injure you and not take it off. And fabric being quife the insulator, does provide you with a decent grace period of protection from accidentally touching hot stuff. Now if you have a synthetic fabric, that's quite dangerous; it can burn, but melts onto the skin instead of burning off of you, and the natural reaction is to pat it out, driving that molten plastic into the skin of the melting area and your hand. Never work with heat with synthetic materials
That's because you're a pansy! We used to do glasswork at school in what was most probably polyester blend school shirts, blazers and ties. That said he could treat his tunic with borax or the like to make it pretty flame retardant. But the number one protective item you can bring to any job site is not being a tard.
This presentation was so good I want to run away to England to study experimental archaeology. Victoria seems so genuinely interested in the same way Lloyd does.
Victoria being shy as she was introduced and then eloquently talking about her work was the most adorable and interesting thing I've seen in weeks! Amazing video as always, love how even a video idea that would in normal circumstances sound boring can be so interesting and entertaining.
Only if that means the crowd funded researchers will refund any taxes of ours they have been given, that'd be great. Especially given how frivolous a lot of research is that gets grant money. Although you'd find only female researchers would get funding, and only if they're cute enough for epsilons to simp to.
*lloyd explains the reheating theory* "Want to test my theory?" .. "Sure!" "Great! It takes 12 hours of heating every day for weeks! Thanks for volunteering!"
If you don't want your glass to oxidize a fuel rich fire is the way to go. Also you would have to force air into it. Keeping that thing burning is enough work without working bellows.
@@NoobNoobNews Fascinating! By the way, my comment was intended humorously, playing upon the presence of an adjustable galvanized steel signpost in the initial first several frames of the video. But still, nice sidebar!
Knowing something about glass, having studied it and blown a bit of it myself, I have to say that was quite good as an explanation and should make anyone appreciate the remarkable degree of inventiveness and perseverance it took people long ago to develop the technology to create it. Bravo
Experimental archeologists; The best archeologists BY FAR. I've lost track how many times i've seen traditional archeologists screw up or make appalling assumptions. Thank you Victoria for doing it right.You're awesome 😃😃
I really enjoy these Ancient Tech video's, Mr. Beige! It's funny/sad how you can produce these very inormative and enthousiasticly made video's and yet many professionals ( paid ) fail to do so. I could listen to you for hours and I hope your youtube data doesn't get erased for years to come!
I have wondered this before actually. Also more importantly you are actually giving me videos again! Definately keep this up and so some more rants and hypotheses, even if they have some holes and flaws they always make me think.
This answers a lot of the questions I've had about ancient glass making techniques and raises even more about Roman and pre-Roman techniques. I love when I learn something and it shows me that there is a more vast reservoir of information feeding into it than I was able to even guess at before knowing it. Looks like it's time for me to take another trip through the looking glass.
Having only half-read the title, I somehow expected you to only wear shorts, not speak a word, play a bit with clay, sticks and fire and make a bunch of tiny little grains of glass from sludge you collected from a stream nearby.
Awesome video! I really enjoy period correct demonstrations of smelting ore, casting, and forging. This is the first real example of period correct glasswork I've seen and it really makes me appreciate the roots of these old crafts even more. 😎
16:00 as a person who knows quite a bit about wood burning (mostly from experience) I can tell you that green wood (dampened wood) can work just as or even better than seasoned wood deepening on the circumstance, but you have to mix it two greens for every seasoned, and the seasoned has to go in first because the seasoned will burn just fine and even boil the water out of of the green wood and by the time the seasoned wood is burned away the green wood will be ready to burn this will increase the amount of time it before the needs wood to be replaced meaning fewer reloads and increases wood burning efficiency by 50-70% with little to no change in temperature
Lloyd, I encourage you to woo Victoria Lucas, and participate in continued experimental archeologs together. With your forces combined, history won't know what hit them!
For 18 years at least. Which is pretty good, most things I make don't last a decade of heavy work abuse. Those children sure hold it together well. Although when they're small they're only good for sowing Nike shoes in sweatshops.
Yeah. If you end your son people won't screech hysterically at you and abuse you for centuries with entitled multi-generational parasitic demands compared to if you end slavery. Also Spain, South America, and Africa won't rise up and try to kill you everywhere they find you for ending your son. And you'll pay off the weregeld faster than the debt it cost us to end slavery.

Great vid Mr. Beige, as per usual I must add. #history #livinghistory #
Almost everything in the Roman world was made on a massive scale. This led to the loss of native industry, so when Roman economic structure broke down there was a loss of those industries in certain areas. This happened in Britain even to pottery, leading to the rise of the wooden bucket.
I don't think there really as much of a loss of pottery as some people say there is. There's certainly a loss of volume being made but pottery would of reappeared as an industry on a local level with in a few decades but at a higher cost. Now pottery breaks as we all know, but the other wood, horn an metal don't. And if pottery is now the expensive choice vs horn and wood, any fool can turn a wooden cup or mould a horn, an then volume falls even more an pottery becomes much less in production an higher in cost. Cue pottery being expensive until some one can fund the building an running of a large kiln.
Thank you for covering historical glass working with us! Blacksmithing get shown all over the internet, but glass working is something that doesn't get nearly as much exposure, which is a real shame!
Victoria seems excited to me, rather than nervous. But maybe I'm just bad at reading body language. I'm sure I'd need a pretty thick jacket to go outside in that neck of the woods.
If this was filmed within the last couple of months then not really. It has been absolutely stinking up here. It has been a bit of a return to form over the last week though where it's been hoying it down.
I bet Aadil has never been further north than the M25. The weather has been glorious in Jarrow recently, as it is most summers. Jarrow's not in the Arctic.
She seemed a bit jittery to me. A bit like the stereotypical portrayal of someone high on caffeine. Which would make sense given that she was going to have to stay up all night. And who knows how long she'd _already_ been up?
If I remember right, the glass makers eventually transitioned from wood to charcoal and then coke to fuel their furnaces. Gradually working their way toward more energy dense fuel. The advent of refractory materials to make proper crucibles, to concentrate that energy, helped a lot too.
Just last afternoon I was wondering what the Anglo-Saxons were using to make glass between the 10th and 12th century. Although disappointed, I guess this video will have to suffice.
The very first thing I thought about when I woke up today was how the Anglo-Saxons made glass specifically in between the seventh and ninth centuries.
TheFreshest Slice 😂
not the sixth or tenth, though, why would anyone think of THAT.
Do people think of other things?...
That's strange, because it was the last thing on my mind before bed last night.
It kept me from sleeping last night. Wondering HOW, how did they do it
Llyod - "I call it a furnace"
Also Llyod - "in this kiln"
For a man working without a script, he does remarkably well.
For foreigners - where is the difference?
Isn't a kiln just a type of furnace able to reach temperatures capable of vitrification? So either one is technically correct, but one is specific when the goal is reaching high temperatures. (Alternately the term oven could be used just as well, but that is more commonly used in terms of cooking and food preparation.)
Glass kilns definitely exist...
A furnace is to make the glass to the working temperature, a kiln is to slowly bring the glass down to room temperature.
Victoria was adorable! I love seeing people who love their work talking about it. Like Bob Ross, Ray Mears and of course The Beigemeister :)
I thought she was either totally enthralled by Lindy, or over awed by the the idea of being on UA-cam.

That tunic would scare the HELL out of me, working with hot glass like that
It would be incredibly hot in a glass workshop so it would make sense to not wear that many clothes.
Well if it's wool, it's basically inflammable and not a problem; issues will be mostly cosmetic, maybe some small holes. If it's a flammable natural fabric, the worst that can happen is a spot catches on fire and you slap it, putting it out. You now have a hole to patch and some slightly singed hairs, maybe, but that's it. Even if it the entire thing catches fire and burns off of you, you'd have to be quite daft to let it burn long enough to badly injure you and not take it off. And fabric being quife the insulator, does provide you with a decent grace period of protection from accidentally touching hot stuff.
Now if you have a synthetic fabric, that's quite dangerous; it can burn, but melts onto the skin instead of burning off of you, and the natural reaction is to pat it out, driving that molten plastic into the skin of the melting area and your hand.
Never work with heat with synthetic materials
That's because you're a pansy! We used to do glasswork at school in what was most probably polyester blend school shirts, blazers and ties.

The soot is due to bad air supply; It's incompletely burned smoke. The pleasant smell of burning wood resin is probably just drowned out by it.
