Really interesting. Looking forward to the next stage . You can see why the process of blacksmithing was considered an almost magical thing in many societies. I wonder if it was a public or secret thing in Britain.
Fantastic video, as someone who is just getting into blacksmithing this makes me really appreciate where this crucial art started. Keen for the rest of this series :D
@@The_Dutch_Hammer you're quite right, one person can make iron on their own though this is usually possible due to our more modern understanding of iron production. What happens on the Primitive Technology channel is amazing and I love it however, there is also a big difference to producing small quantities of unrefined iron (sometimes barely 20g in some of his videos) and producing enough to make it a functional material that will benefit an entire community in the Iron Age. (I'm glad you mention Primitive Technology as I'm a huge fan too)
Thank you all so much for this glimpse into our past.
