Glass has definitely been a long-term challenge on the channel. In today's episode, I'm attempting to make glass without using any modern tools. Let's see if I can pull this off!

@athingortwo1513 2 года назад

Hi. I'm a retired ceramic engineer. Use charcoal instead of wood. Form a thick layer of silica sand in the front center of the furnace. Make a depression in the center of the sand to form a bowl. Put your premixed ingredients in the depression. The pure silica sandmelts at a much higher temperature so you will end up with a pool of melt that is more fluid in the middle and will fork its own solid bowl. Draw from the fluid portion. Build the charcoal fire to each side of the pool. Good luck. I enjoy your efforts and they show just how much practice is needed to get things right.

think so too that was one of the reasons why they chopped down the forest that existed before the black forest (it got its name from the excessiv use of needle woods for its reforestation since its fast growing wood, which could be used relativly soon), they made ALOT of charcoal for smelting iron from ore.

@@ImCannibalOfficial true, he takes about a month for most videos but I think the biggest problem is that people got bored with his lack of progress made like when it takes a month for a video and he just makes a burger... yay can’t believe I waited a month for that... and because it’s boring he loses views making less money and he can’t do this full time

@CraftsmanOfAwsomenes 2 года назад

@@Hi_Brien I mean if he were actually trying to do anything with the things he’s made long term as people would have had to at the time it would have been a bad thing. It’s just a fun proof of concept though so it’s fine. Even if it the series isn’t strictly trying to stick to its rules in a way that makes sense it still feels like this channel ought to get more views for how much time, work, and money they put into it even if they do produce low quality crafts in the end.

@ImCannibalOfficial 2 года назад

Part of the problem with the quality of his items is that he previously hasn't been consulting craftsmen for each specialty, and in the few instances he has consulted experts, their input is largely ignored. (Or in the case where a "bow" was made, in idiot was consulted.) At the current level of tech, he should already have hardened files and carbon crucible steel for making tools to make the correct tools for all this work. Skipping steps in the tech is why all his work looks like a 6 year old made it with their feet.

@freyja4954 2 года назад

A tip for candling . If you start with hot coals and place them evenly across the bottom you can control the heat much easier. Then add fuel generally in the form of either a hardwood or or more Charcoal. When using softwoods the excess of gas some sometimes reduces the heat due to the fact that the draft is greatly higher than needed. Remember for every cubic foot of air that goes into the Kiln extra over what is needed, needs to be heated up and evacuated. Try to use hard woods such as oak and Maple as they will allow for higher BTU put per cubic foot of material.

I don't know if Andy and the team will see this, but I thought I should write in anyway. A friend of mine in the viking reenactment community told me once that they would add ground up broken crucibles to the fresh clay when making new ones, so they would be stronger and withstand more heat. It might be worth trying out, since you seem to have a lot of spent crucibles.

1) While I'm a little disappointed that Andy isn't the one upping his skills and refining his tools as much, I'm still really happy that he's at least outsourcing the relevant work to professionals of the trade, because seriously, it takes years to master things like blacksmithing, not to mention all the tools and setup it takes to properly get going, so while it isn't *really* in the right format for The Reset in total, it's still a far cry better than before. Besides, when you think about it, it wasn't some master craftsman that did all the blacksmithing, woodcarving, brickmaking, baking, bladeshaping, etc. etc. etc. but various masters of the different crafts, though there was obviously little bits of overlap here and there, so the modern forge aside, this is way better. 2) "Bendable! Poseable! The Alien AKA the "Medium Green Man"! GLOWS in the DARK!" I was obsessed with finding a frame I could read that on, hahahaha. Made me laugh when I finally saw it. Thanks for the little bit of humour.
