How do you know that? It’s like saying that craftsmen at Renaissance fair are fake! Of course they are not from medieval times, but they follow the same techniques, that ancient craftsmen or using to our best knowledge and understanding.

[@matthewmarting3623]

Just incredible craftsmanship, especially the joinery- there’s not a tool used that you couldn’t make yourself, not a single nail or commercial product. And the idea of using rammed earth for the “millstones” with hardened bamboo slices as teeth Is so ingenious. And he got to make it in the mountains with wildlife all around and the clouds touching the earth. I love the old ways.

[@gaivsivlivs722]

This is the first time that I saw a mill using soil. My grand parents used logs with metal teeth.

[@gwagner1380]

Different places, different materiale. That soil seems like clay so it solidified when it dried out. Where I live all the grinding utensils were normally made out of stone or volcanic stone. I loved helping my great grandma when I was little but distinctly remember that the stoneware made of normal stone was heavy but compared to volcanic stone. Normal stone was light AF. What I love about this is how we humans get to the same answer with different approaches and how the environment we live in shapes the process of getting said answer. It's amazing how far our ancestors went by just skill, patience and intuition and it saddens me that the era of internet is great in some regards, in others, we are losing skilled people on manual labor. Maybe we no longer need a mill out of stone, earth or clay but the whole process, the technique on how he handled the wood, it's still valuable today and sadly that art and craft is slowly fading away.

[@ΕρνέστοςΣμίθ]

@@gwagner1380 It's not a grinding mill though. It's de-hulling mill. In the video, he separates wheat (or barley?) from the hull

[@dailyrider2975]

@@ΕρνέστοςΣμίθ Rice. Rice de-huller. rolls rice grains to loosen the hull so it can be blown away in 2nd machine leaving rice to fall in basket.

[@ΕρνέστοςΣμίθ]

@@dailyrider2975 Yes, probably. But the varieties of rice grains I've seen tend to be more cylindrical in shape. I've seen barley grains which look just the same.

看到你製作所有這些影片讓我感到非常滿意。這讓我想起了和爺爺奶奶一起度過的時光，繼續前進！

[@HoJnn]

你真幸運曾經有緣跟爺爺奶奶一起生活,並留下和他們一起生活的回憶！ 像我只看到3、4歲跟外婆合照2張相片就沒有其它的互動時間。 這也使得我曾為了小孩能和爺爺奶奶多相處而做了許多事促成他們擁有一些能回憶的往事，沒想到過往的這些努力對孩子和他們的爺爺奶奶來說一點也不重要😂，他們4位只是不珍愛彼此😅。 記得兒時頗受外婆嫌棄主要是因為我是外省人生下的孩子，當時的社會氛圍台灣某掛本省人太自我尊貴老是瞧不起其它族群（覺得像極了影視作品裡扮演漢奸的嘴臉），這情形一直持續到我成年之后,住高雄的友人曾說他不接受建議的原因是因為： 他們南部人非常嫌棄高山族群壓根不想迎娶原住民回家,那是會被鄰里巷弄嘲笑的事,所以他才會一點兒也不考慮我的提議。 沒想到多年后由於政策導向的深耕,再加上高山族群今已然學識豐富並且人口眾多,選舉人口已不容小覷,許多政客為了選舉導向選擇向權利多數者膜拜、同時原住民傳統文化漸融為一體不分彼此。

Finalement je me rends compte à quel point les gens du passé travaillaient tellement dur avec leurs mains ce travail difficile fatiguant aujourd’hui à notre époque on se plaint avec les machines enfin etc. peu importe la vie est aussi compliqué de le jour mais à l’époque les gens appréciait leur vie Avec une simplicité, et une façon de faire des dons, vraiment magnifique, à voir leur facilité de faire les choses naturellement pour pouvoir avancer dans leur vie. Ces admirables de voir qu’actuellement des gens reproduisent qu’il y a eu dans le passé et c’est formidable de voir vos vidéos, vous êtes franchement votre savoir-faire, votre compétence m’épate . Je vous souhaite en tous les cas, une très bonne santé vos vidéos son , agréable à regarder Merci pour ce bon moment avec vous et à bientôt.

What a journey. He starts chopping wood, and I get absorbed in how precise and practiced his carpentry is. By the time I get to him building a giant wheel out of wood and specially mixed mud, I'm thinking JFC the amount of work that goes into making a single wheel is ludicrous by today's standards. I had completely forgotten the point of the whole vid was to mill some rice. Great vid, music was a little mid tho

Although the 土臼（唐臼） used in Japan are the same as those used in China, I did not know how to make them. I learned something new from the 天工開物.

[@leeaal7306]

I've seen a British guy living in Japan made a wooden one. He simply carved two pices of wood, shaped like a stone mill and it takes less work to make and easier to maintain. And better yet, someone can figure out how to add the winnowing system below the wooden mill and therefore get your grain ready to use with less effort.

that's a very interesting chisel. nothing like the Japanese or European design which is straight and has one flat side and one tapered side. This chisel is tapered not only on both sided of the blade (cutting edge), but the shank is also tapered.
