    In the 1940s, my grandmother, living in rural Canada, made linen cloth for sheets and towels. She would plant the flax (linen), let it grow, harvest it, soak it in pond water to rot everything except the fibers, beat and dry the fiber, spin it and then weave it into cloth. I still have two of her kitchen towels today. They are a treasure to me.

      +Niklas Schmidt Pipes are actually easy. It's just a comical shape with both ends allowing for movement of water. Fire them from clay and you can make as many pieces depending on how long you need it from the source to the outlet.

    You can also try pounding the fibre with a large, smooth rock prior to spinning. We do that with our stripped flax fibre in New Zealand when making traditional cloaks, and it makes the final product much softer/flexible.

      Notes. By the description, the tree had literally just fallen, but not because it was dead, taken down by another larger tree. His feet are tougher than his hands. Sharp rocks are a far worse threat to the feet than any stick.

    I’ve noticed that the viewership of this channel is a good mix of older folks or homesteaders that are genuinely interested in replicating these skills, and 11 year old Minecraft players. All the inside jokes and sarcasm from the young gamers goes over the heads of the more literal, serious minded homesteaders. It’s pretty hilarious!

      I think that if we made that here, we'd probably use palms or coconut fibers (Puerto Rico) and actually, we do make something like that with dry palm leaf, it's called petate, but we use the hands and not a mechanism like this one.

    Incredible work. I was so excited when I saw the drop spindle! And the rigid loom construction is great. I see how the walking back and forth to set the shed between each pass must have been tiresome after a while. Shame you couldn't make a reed to push the weft down as one instead of having to batten using your fingers as that would also have sped things up -- just a piece of wood slightly longer than the total width pushed between the shed and pulled back toward the fabric would do the trick.
    Anyway, this was very cool to see. Did you read about looms and the type of construction possible in early technology, or backwards engineer a modern one and simplify it? If you are considering making a finer fabric which would require more time perhaps a warp-weighted loom which hangs vertically? These were common before automatic looms so maybe they are more convenient for hand use.

      @r steevens Yea. That's outside of the solar system. The perspective is different when looking at one solar system from outside of it, as oppose to looking at planet in our own solar system. We can see the light reflect off Venus because were in the same solar system as Venus, orbiting around the same star. When you're looking at planets orbiting around a different star, then you can only see them by the shadow. Do you believe that Venus actually isn't a planet, but a star, and NASA is telling us it's a planet? Because if so, come on. Venus was discovered in before NASA even existed.

      The arrow is pointing to Earth. It looks like a star too, because the picture was taken so far away. I know Venus is closer to Earth, but still far enough away to seem so small.

      @r steevens They pulsate because of our turbulent atmosphere. I see you're one of those people. Who doesn't believe anything, and thinks everything they've been told is a lie, even though coming up with all these lies and fooling billions of people is a waste of time. And as far as I'm concerned, people like you just want to feel better and more intelligent then then everyone else, so you make yourself believe the opposite of everything you've been taught and then make yourself think you're right. So whatever. Think whatever you want. I respect your opinions, even if I don't agree with them. It's a free country. Think whatever you want. I just don't see the motive that NASA, or anyone, would have to lie about this stuff to this extent.

    Other simple looms that would be around in the same era would be a weighted warp loom and a backstrap loom. Both will have the ability to weave finer cloth especially as you find plants that you can harvest fibers from. Great innovation with your loom building, and spinning a great rainy day activity.

    Do you have any intentions on making glass? I know that you need special materials and not only sand, but if you were able to find what you need it would be pretty cool to see you make glass.You could probably use for a lot of useful stuff, like fire lamps, bowls, drinking glasses, etc. You could maybe use some Egyptian or roman techniques for that like in your other videos.
