Will, if I ever find myself in England, we're going to meet, and have one helluva time. Every days a school day, eh? That has made my morning day and afternoon, many suns each. Thank you for your optimism:)
Do understand this is how it was long ago. From opinion was done. Not for video stand point simple enjoy this craft to see Skill of your hands love and joy pride this knowledge give back on personal level.
Because if there's one thing we know about the bronze age, it's that bee's were plentiful, and high quality bees wax was literally found growing on trees everywhere. It wasn't more expensive than your bronze. It was, however, superseded by the lost-gold casting method.
Malachite, or cupric oxide it is. as Port Kapul said, its one form of copper ore. If you live in America or any other country that used copper coins, you'll note that pennies and the like go green if they get wet for too long, thats basically what they are throwing in ^^
pine trees would not have been very common in prehistoric Britain, about as common as the wax from a beehive! i think it's likely they used congealed fats of some kind.
what do you think the stone age people would use? why waste time carving out a wooden mold when you can just put in a flint arrowhead that you already have
@@grzegorzbrzeczyszykiewic3338 because a wooden one would be more aerodynamic and open to actual design, which is the virtue of metal as opposed to stone, whereas stone's strength is in it's availability, and i struggle to imagine something as precious as bronze being wasted on arrow heads you're unlikely to find again.

Thats so cool. What was the green stone in the fire for? I really liked this video, would love to see more.
the green stone is copper ore

How long does it take to melt so much bronze??
Depends on many different things mate
the sword in the stone legend ?
nice
c'mon bell, don't not pour right...yuusss!!! ding!!
Wouldn't it be more likely for primitive peoples to use pine resin rather than wax for investment casting?

Who's the nimwit who cast a bloody flint knapped arrowhead? What kind of logic went behind that?
