As always, don’t forget to enable subtitles.

I’ve watched so many of these videos, I had no idea there were subtitles!
I always watch his videos twice, once without subtitles and the next with. It’s pretty fun to guess what he’s doing on the first watch.
His focus on iron age temperature goals with neolithic tech is so strange.
I think his interest is just in seeing what he can make by himself with what he can gather from nature, rather than specifically in replicating neolithic technology. In that framing it makes sense to push at the limits of what he can do even if it’s not the most practical way to solve that problem. He knows he can run a furnace and make neolithic-level things with it, so why not see if he can go for something a bit harder? Historically it was solved with a bunch of teamwork, sure, but he’s not trying to re-enact history.
Why?
Just feels backwards. You’d have huge bloomeries with giant bellows and stocks of charcoal and extensive mining to do what he’s doing.
Well I mean, before mass mineral works neolithic people had to do a lot of experimenting first…
i wonder if it’d be easier to use with some sort of gear assembly and then a foot pedal or something - that one handed rotational method looks really tiring
If only gears grew on trees…
Did you not think of the possibility of making one?
The dude has bricks, charcoal, twine and all sorts of things that he’s made that don’t “grow on trees”. I don’t think the idea of carving a gear from wood or even trying to cast one in ceramics is an impossible idea.
