Not really; the tools got refined, and the tool *use* got refined, over millenia. It's impressive for him trying to learn it all himself and doing it with what he's made all at once, though, just not very accurate to the sense of scale of humanity's progression.

[@jameshill2450]

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.

Abrasives are the tools of precision in the ages before modern precision tools. You are forgetting to use a whole class of tools that where available throughout all of history. You are making precision projects harder for yourself with not using abrasive stones to get to the final dimensions.

[@JoeTheSquidOfficial]

As a loyal viewer, I was amazed at how well you made this using blunt bronze-age tools and understood the difficulty of creating fine work using Bronze-age tools. But, as a JOINER, I had multiple aneurysms at the inaccuracy and quality of using said Bronze Age tools.

[@KainYusanagi]

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. He's not a professional in any of the professions needed for what he's doing, but as a "this is an example of what the first tools could have been like" they're rather impressive. I just wish he'd take that next step and refine some of his fabrication skills!

[@JoeTheSquidOfficial]

Kain Yusanagi to be honest if he refined his skills with everything they do, moving through history will be much more slower

[@KainYusanagi]

@@JoeTheSquidOfficial i don't mean to a professional's standards, but just basic competency. And yes, that would slow down the videos a bit, but he'd also be doing things a lot better and easier for his end, too. 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. Again, it's impressive what he's doing for someone without much knowledge or training in these disciplines, but basic craftsmanship, just knowing how to use his tools properly, would take him so much further. That's really what he needs to work on.

[@bobedwards8896]

@@KainYusanagi i kind-of agree. its painful seeing how hastily made the projects are. in the real "old word" this would be an important tool used for perhaps a lifetime. they would put MUCH more time and effort into getting things near perfect. rather than "hey, it works". but i understand they cant spend too much time on any single project.

[@KainYusanagi]

@@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.

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. I can't help but feel that your current sawteeth act more akin to digging at the wood with a series of spoons. It's functional, but it could be *more* functional.

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

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.

[@rune12358]

P.D: also, that saw would be a much bigger help, and a source of great precision for future builds, if it was thinner on the cutting edge, meaning you have to remove much less wood to get a given cut. Half the wood removed is half the energy expended to do so! I suggest 'sharpening' it against some abrasive stone to make a much thinner blade at the edge. Ideally, you would cut sawblades out of sheet metal as we do nowadays, but I understand casting thin sheets is a tall order, and extrusion completely out of your reach, so you´ll just have to grind them thin.

When he first started he was working with an author who had written a book on this kind of subject, and he had said something along the lines of "I'm very excited to see you go from hammering stone tools to eventually building a steam engine." If they succeed at that, I dunno how much farther they'll be able to go without needing a few years break so that Andy can get an engineering degree!

@@willhenry2523 who needs a degree when you have rockets? you can learn a lot faster if you have a single project in mind and you learn formulas as you go rather than sit through a degree.

When cutting small branches with an axe, always strike in 45° angle (rotated among vertical axis, z). So that the branch is diagonal in your hand. Usually cuts through with one good strike even with thicker branches.

As other people have already said, you should break a rock so it has a sharp edge that can be used to sharpen the teeth of your saw. You should also make a spring pole lathe, it would probably make the process of making perfectly round objects much easier

Thank you again for this fantastic series

[@dakotaboyd4809]

13:32 why does it look like hes using wood glue instead of the home made stuff?

[@mattm3756]

i think you know why lol

[@Smileyrat]

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]

@@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...

[@Bluesnipible]

@@Smileyrat Yeah that hide glue isn't safe for a spinning object probably. I don't blame him.

[@UberAlphaSirus]

@@Smileyrat Yhea, at them speeds he could of seriously knocked a bit of dandruff off a shoulder or much much less worse.

My Oma used "Great courses" by old mail-in-service from the back of NY review of books. Totally retro and awesome to see they still exist, worth checking out, and oh my gosh cheaper than it used to be.
