Getting Slippery with Ancient Lubricants!

Oh this actually works, thanks!

Thanks!

Yep, saving you a seat in heaven

That knot in the middle, making the wheel center appear eccentric gets me.

Lime (Ca(OH)2) instead if lye (NaOH), I almost couldn't tell which was which.

Something Alexander the Great would use

Your pottery is getting very good!

[@Fishpizza1212]

Attaching the axel to the big Wheel will help reduce the friction as well, because the coefficient of friction of metal is much much less than of wood, especially when you can make a bearing for the axel to sit in. You can do this by drilling a hole through the axel and sticking a dowel rod that you can then attach to wheel for a solid mechanical connection. The friction in the bear is the most important thing stopping a fly wheel from spinning, so getting that right will provide a huge boost to your overall output.

[@Zarglog]

"Reduce friction on any axels" ;D

Alright, let's make some *_𝙇𝙐𝘽𝙀_*

You just revealed the secret sauce recipe!

Wow! Good job. 😮❤

god i love getting slippery ;)

"LUBE..."

[@celestialbeas9214]

please do an episode on concentricity. it will really help the quality of the tools you make.

[@Enchantaire]

A test with and without at the end would have been good

[@adamlynch7005]

Spot on it,

[@TehBigMoose]

First Cuneo ce seen, subbed

[@Scheminhos]

Hank Hill🗻 would be so proud💪😊

[@dries-pederjanse6249]

Maybe it’s not ancient but it kinda works like the Egyptians when the carry rocks up a pyramid, maybe it’s fun to make a wooden ball bearing for your wheel

[@ElmerFudd1911]

Basically using biodiesel, and glycerol as lubricant. Just stick to wax, oil, graphite, or other lubricant.

[@MinistryOfTruth.]

Thank you i have been looking for a good lubricant... You know... For a friend...

[@christiansteele7386]

Y’all came here looking for trouble and don’t deny it

[@jonnybeepboop9608]

Awesome

[@Skeptical_Numbat]

Is this concentration at all corrosive to your skin? (Not the best lube for leather washers/bellows/etc.) Also, make damn sure to keep it away from your eyes.

[@samuelmellars7855]

I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be too different from soap (sodium oleate) because it just replaces the sodium hydroxide (lye) with calcium hydroxide (lime/quicklime) so you'd get calcium oleate, I think? But then an excess of oil as well, so it should be very bonded with oils and not act to strip oils out of skin or leather. Even so, I don't think it's the best stuff to apply to leather, because it's meant for high-pressure type of lubrication, where leather is not going to last.

[@Mrs.AD0099]

Show is the working finish pls pls.. cus like, what was the point? WE DIDNT GET TO SEE IF IT WORKED

[@brandOn_pc]

He's back after so long😱

[@c1h2r3i4s56987]

yeah... Axels

[@kameljoe21]

I feel that most of his project are rushed. A lot of the wood ones seem to be low grade construction. Even with primiteve tools you should be able to drill a hole straight. Its very likely that bit is dull. Also wood workers back then took time to hone their craft and in the case of your wheel they would have shaved and balanced it.

[@BackYardScience2000]

Calcium grease is pretty good, but have you ever used Lithium grease!?! It's the bees knees! 😃

[@Silmerano]

Would it work with coconut oil?

[@EternityForest]

Isn't calcium soap common in modern synthetic lube? That's pretty amazing that it held it's relevance.

[@Dancrazyman1]

Could you put in skatebearings ?

[@brutusthebear9050]

So if you used coconut oil you'd put the lime with...

[@danielgeiger9429]

They are a small set of hands mate

[@johndavid4825]

what was the rough ratio of quicklime, water, oil?

[@thespacemuffin3442]

YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE THEY USED IT FOR?! XD

[@rubenchristensen596]

The Greeks used it on goats😏

[@angrypastabrewing]

All women and gay men in those times has used lube

and a round hole not of round .😕

[@Meg_Lovegood]

How does it work as "lube" Wink wink 😉

[@Manasseh1]

I can make that in about 15 seconds

[@cavemanvi]

This channel has great ideas just executed so badly. Watching a girl struggle to cut down a tree with a dull hatchet to 40% completion. Or watching you make a cool ancient lathe in terrible fashion. This channel needs to refresh to doing stuff well.

[@mushroomgodalt9643]

Can I uh

[@MO-bw4nv]

So hang on why not just use olive oil as a lubricant? Wouldn't that work just fine?

[@Peaserist]

a few reasons, regular olive oil alone will go rancid over time. That is, one or more of the carbons will lose a hydrogen, becoming mono or poly unsaturated, this will also end up with the oil polymerizing, forming a plastic-like substance at worst, being sticky and tacky at best. The calcium hydroxide reacts with the oil to form calcium fatty acid salts, which are basically water-insoluble soaps. This can not go rancid per se, but I suspect it *can* still oxidize or otherwise go "bad" in some way. Hand-made bar soap (made with lye) can get these spots on them if you don't add a chelating agent, for example.

please dont start with shorts andy shorts are trash and turn yt into tiktok man
