Humanity's first wheel... was it used for transportation or pottery? I'm using humanity's first wheel to make a clay pottery bowl in ONLY 37 hours. Next up, Tesla truck tires... Just kidding, look out for our next episode on spicy chicken wings!

The fact that the tools got refined over so long is what gives it a sense of scale. Seeing how much he struggles to complete simple tasks with beginner-level primitive tools makes you appreciate how much time and work must have gone into developing that stuff when they had nothing else to work with. Modern knowledge gets offset by the fact that (no offense) he just isn't very good at things that they would have much more experience with. They had to figure out how to make that wheel, but by the time they were doing that they would collectively have millions of iterations of bronze casting and other crafting under their belt so they would have significantly higher quality tools and woodworking skills.

Speaking from a logical practical point of view. I suggest that you make yourself a set of brass files & set of sharpening stones. I also would like to suggest a very traditional saw pattern. The simple toothed saw pattern, which consists of two deep cuts to separating two shallow cuts. This would be the most practical and useful design to use because you will need to sharpen the teeth very often. And the Deep Cuts separating the three teeth are for removing material. This design is considered to be one of the oldest traditional saw-toothed designs.

@benrudolph5582 Год назад

A note about pottery; make cylinders not bowls when starting. Bowls are easy thanks to centrifugal force, while cylinders are difficult because we all have a dominant hand. Inside hand stronger is a bowl, while outside hand stronger makes a cone. Cylinders are also first because you want even wall thickness, and a 90° angle between bottom and sides. Too, don't worry; no one understands centrifugal force just like how it doesn't make sense that bicycles work. Keep your elbows in against your torso; thats where the stability is. It's wobbling because you are.

@melissahauke8682 4 года назад

It's amazing when those miserable pieces of wood become to have more defined shape and putted together they become specific tool like this spin wheel. That's one of whole bunch of reasons why I love to create clay sculptures, make models, when hours of changing, smoothing, pushing and cutting pieces lead to complete piece of artwork. That's absolutly satisfying.

For your saw, since copper (and hence bronze) work hardens, you can pound your sawteeth thinner and give them more acute angles to better assist in cutting.

Actual bronze-age tools were much better forged and crafted, not to mention used; look at the difference in the axe that was crafted with that bladesmith, and the axes he's made himself.

His method of approach is really starting to bite him in the butt, because he only gets through the surface layer, and keeping to only what he makes means that he has to use the haphazardly crafted items.

@KainYusanagi 4 года назад

@@bobedwards8896 Exactly. Craftsmen would spend years apprenticing and making their own works before making their masterpiece, which wasn't "the best piece they ever made", but rather, "the best piece they ever made, at the time, demonstrating to their master that they have joined the ranks of the masters of the craft". It was literally the piece they crafted to earn the rank of master craftsman. And even then, you had plenty of self-taught craftsmen out there who never learnt from a master, too, but spent enough years doing things that they eventually learnt how to do things pretty good. The things that immediately popped up to me in this video were the lack of using an adze to properly rough-shape the surface of the log pieces, instead trying to use chisels as wedges or just hacking at it with his axe; he also hasn't crafted a basic plane yet, which would have been a piece of wood with a mortise cut into it and a cutting tool like his chisels wedged inside. Then there's his wasteful pouring out of glue and wax, when instead he should be using something more like a earthenware or stoneware pot to dip things into, giving a flat even coat that he could build up through repeated dipping, or in the case of the glue, saturating the surfaces meant to be bonded together. The list goes on, but I'm sure I've made my point; these and more are basic tools and techniques in use for millenia that we aren't seeing used that I feel he needs to get a grasp on.

Will you be doing wood turning/wood lathe soon? Seems like that would help a lot with being able to make precision tools? Wood turning dates back to at least 1300BC. If you do not already have the series "Build Your Own Metal Working Shop From Scrap (Complete 7 Book Series)", you should definitely check it out. While it is about constructing metal lathes, mills, etc, the solutions for 'building a lathe with out already having a lathe' could prove useful.

Wouldnt it make more sense using something like bacon rind or a scrap piece of leather skin with some excess fat still attached as a lubricant instead of runny olive oil? However, I'm curious, how does the oil hold up?

@archibaldthearcher 4 года назад

Hope you're planning on building a lathe in one of the future videos (though still got like 2000 years to go for that) . Even in its simplest form it will save you a lot of trouble, greatly improve quality of your work and allow you to make more advanced things. You should also investigate proper angels of chisels, drills and saws and try to reshape them accordingly. Its a lot of work, especially doing it manually on stones but once you got it shaped properly you'll know it was worth the effort. I have learned it myself when started diy and I still can't believe how much time and effort I wasted (not to mention how many things seemed to be impossible to do) on something that is a very simple and fast work once you got proper tools

Hey Andy, you should try burning holes into the wood. Youd be surprised how accurate the boring is provided you use clay as an insulator.

If you had some kind of file, you could file those saw teeth, drawing them in opposing directions for every other tooth. It would also give the teeth a bit more edge.

you should try some granit to use as makeshift sand paper i guess its not technically a part of the timeline but it could help

I don’t want to be the “um actually...” guy, but actually ATP synthase is a molecular machine that acts as a natural wheel and axle. Great video man! Keep them coming😁😁

@emilychb6621 4 года назад

I would call it a wheel either, more of a shaft being spun around by a motor. So like a stick that you put a string around :D a bowdrill for example.

@halted_code 4 года назад

for the rock, i would suggest you go find a slightly smaller one, and coat it in a good thick layer of wax, wax would be a better bearing surface and lubricant than the olive oil for this, also it would be better to make the wheels and the axle out of hard wood. You also might want make a wood scraper, it is essentually a straight edge piece of metal that you can use to take a small amount of material off at a time, it is one of the tools used before sandpaper, with a sort of grinding wheel setup you could probably true those wheels up pretty easily, the scraper can be sharpened, but it should only be sharpened on one side, and you want to run the back of the edge over the place you want to work with moderate pressure, though your bronze might not last, might want to think about getting into the iron age, or howto make some sort of steel.

watching this reminded me of this video, i dont know if the channel would be of any help, but he does make very cool things with bronze tools

The most groundbreaking thing about the wheel was the mindset shift that took place to realize it and turn it into something useful! For thousands of years Neanderthals/humans watched rocks roll but never turned that concept into something useful and then BAM! Just looking at the Ljubljana Marshes Wheel dated back to 3200BC and its axle, the complexity that is involved for something that old its obvious the wheel was discovered well before that time and evolved into what it was!

@Smileyrat 4 года назад

If he did use wood glue, it was probably not safe to use his hide glue. Imagine that wheel spinning off right into his face or knees. Additionally, it may not have been strong enough to hold the weight of the lower wheel.

@fellipeparreiras4435 4 года назад

@@Smileyrat Yeah, we also need to take into consideration, that at that time people had almost nothing to do, besides eating, so they could make more refined and precise holes, and better glue for things to stick together, also, slaves...
