Primitive Skills: Forge iron scissors, sewing cloth bags for storage

Hello everyone, my name is Duong.
I am 32 years old.
I live in a poor mountainous area of Vietnam.
From a young age, I had to work hard to help my parents.
Difficult life is always around, I work and learn everything from my grandparents and the old people in the village.
Gradually, I mastered the skills.
5 years ago, I decided to live the challenge.
Determined to learn about the primitive way of life, I chose to live in the wilderness, alone.
Where there's no technology and forcing yourself to pass, it feels great!
How about you? Your life is definitely different from mine.
Have fun watching the video!

Amazing craftmanship

[@cecilcooper6210]

Your own thread. Your own needle. Your own black cloth. Amazing.

[@paheke2405]

Watching this channel while you create this result through each individual painstaking step is a reminder of how much we in the modern world take for granted. Never before did I consider how much work went into making cotton thread, creating fabric from it, crafting the scissors and needles required to hand-make a simple elegant bag. I am humbled by your diligence and self discipline. If I had achieved that, I would be incredibly proud.

[@mcdermantandrew8366]

Agreed 💯!

[@bearnaff9387]

When he first made the cloth, I was all excited because I expected something bum-simple, like curtains for the hut and a table-cloth for when the wife visits. As always, Duong's ideas are not simple. I have come to terms with the fact that if I am feeling all smart and say to myself "Oh, they should be doing [X] with [Whatever resource there's a surplus of]," rest assured that they will either do [X] shortly, or have a reason not to do [X] that I missed. I have yet to catch them actually missing a trick over the long term. I still get caught by the fact that Duong's and Hoang's _ambitions_ for their places are far grander than I expect. But, I'm learning.

I live near her house and I recognize that she is a hard-working and creative person since childhood

[@Weltaz]

Hello DUONG, here it is : 2024, I am still here with my family following you from SWITZERLAND (in the center of the European continent) we love you very much, you are truly a good man, and we have been following you for years. my son Jonas Alexis has grown up too, he will be 5 years old this spring. It's Winter here and we have snow on the peaks. Don't worry, it's nice and dry in our old stone house. Unfortunately our house was not built by us and was renovated haphazardly. The floor is made of plastic-cardboard and it doesn't even hold water (it swells if you let the floor pump water). The stone walls are very thick and old, this is really good, however I have to repair it in certain places. Every time I use lime for stone wall repairs, I think of you.

[@loislara6991]

You and your wife never cease to amaze me on what you can accomplish. . Those scissors are incredible! I had always wondered how they were forged in history. Thank you so much for all you do to teach us the old ways. Your bag is incredibly versatile 😊❤

Thank you so much

[@didier3728]

Je suis très admiratif de ton travail et de tes connaissances ❤❤

[@zinckensteel]

Amazing as always; I struggle just to properly sharpen a pair of scissors or shears - and here you go making a pair from scratch like some sort of alchemist mage! Looks like it's time for a treadle-driven grinding wheel - perhaps your old water-driven one could be adapted to a treadle/pedal/foot-drive?.. ..*brow furrows* are those really the same pair of scissors at 24:30?

[@rgeaster5696]

My wife suggested a back stitch for the seam vs the running stitch you are using. It makes a stronger seam. She has been sewing for over 50 years. I like the color the cloth turned out. Very pretty.

[@ruthpereira4804]

[@pillowwantan3226]

The scissors are finally here!!! Yes, these should be very helpful in making more delicate things! You can now cut the fabric carefully and sew awesome things! Maybe it's time to make a pillow? Stuff the pillow with chicken feathers, it will make it very soft for you!

[@PrimitiveSkillsnet]

I liked the bag very much. I have a tremendous amount of respect for you and what you do. While watching you clean up the forge area, I had an idea I'd like to share with you. As I'm sure you know, when clay is fired, it shrinks. This causes cracks to form. To avoid having as many cracks, I would suggest that you crush the clay that has already gotten hard from firing and mix it with the clay you're using to build your next furnace or forge. Because the clay that has already been fired has already shrunk, your new clay mixture won't shrink as much. Therefore, it won't crack as much. I wish you good health and happiness. Thank you.

[@PrimitiveSkillsnet]

Oh Thank you for your feedback

[@danneff6693]

Another need to get the water wheel turning again

[@Scott-i9v2s]

Agreed. Methinks that useful bearings made with primitive skills are the main issue.

[@nyawanta0107]

I'm always impressed by your craftsmanship. And more than anything, I am fascinated by it.🤗 This is one of a kind organic fabric in the world. Why not make a mat that will warmly wrap your loved ones? I think it would be nice to quilt the fabric by laying it out with cotton.🥰

[@Scott-i9v2s]

(14:41) “Nhìn xem nó có bằng phẳng không”: đó thực sự là vấn đề lớn. Việc cắt phải diễn ra dọc theo TOÀN BỘ cạnh, không chỉ ở đây và ở đó. Vì vậy, thị lực rất tốt là điều cần thiết để đảm bảo rằng mỗi lưỡi cắt đều chạm vào nhau ở mọi nơi. Vì vậy "phẳng" không thực sự là từ khóa. Sự chạm vào ở khắp mọi nơi LÀ. Như có thể thấy ở những chiếc kéo có hình cong... (14:41) "Look to see if it is flat": that would indeed be the major problem. The cutting must take place along the WHOLE edge, not just here and there. So very good eyesight is essential in ensuring that the each cutting edge touches the other everywhere. Thus "flat" is not really the key word. The touching everywhere IS. As can be seen in scissors that are curved...

That's a beautiful stich! I've been sewing for yrs and I still struggle to get such a nice hand stich! 😮😮

[@catmum11]

What an amazing job, so skilled. You probably realized that you ended up making right-handed scissors though, which is why they are so challenging for you to use? My husband is left-handed, I had to buy him left-handed scissors because he complained so much using my scissors ;-)

[@TheSimpleIvan]

Quick questions. What happened to your log workbench? It looked very useful as it helped with working standing up. Also, noticed you have been doing quite a bit of metal work. Would it be better for your spine if you smithed and did your forging standing up? Is there a way to mason some kind of elevated furnace and smithing area with stones and mortar? Separate question. If you fix the water wheel are you going to make a universal joint for it? You can then attach and detach diffrent functions to it. like a grindstone or an arm for the blower or spin a pottery wheel. Maybe even a mil saw And an emergency break for it. I wouldn't worry about the house just yet. Protect your health and back!

I respect how much skills you have but can I make two suggestions.. first I think you should make a machete holster so you don't have to carry your machete when you're lifting wood. This is more for I would love to see you making it make an anvil so you could shape the metal with the flat metal surface

[@teresamarques4511]

I suggest you remake the water wheel; this to the very wide. More water per bucket means more weight, more weight means more power. Also a bigger wheel barrow might be a new project?

Please make wooden handles for the part where you're handling the scissors, it is very dangerous to hold sharp iron.

[@ceecal]

You made a grind stone for sharpening your tools. It was watered power. Do you still have it?

A suggestion for when you are making things with cloth: you can draw on the cloth easily with chalk so you can mark out all the pieces you need to cut.

Forge 2 small iron rings and 2 small bars and tie them to your straps for a quick release backpack to bag change without having to retie the knotts over and over.. Sew another layer of fabric into the straps and pack it with soft material. Sew it up and now you have padded shoulder straps and can carry more weight comfortably.... Thanks for the VIDS!!!

If you ever get enough metal you should cast your own anvil..

[@ancientbuilds3764]

IDEA!!! Who needs a waterwheel? You see, weight is always a problem as it ruins the centre shaft. It also splashes a lot, wrecking the wood. Now - hold on: What is Duong missing? Number 1: Air to power the fire. This should be easier now that he can make fabric. He can double up the fabric and semi - water and airproof it. This way he can make a see-saw water powered air bellows. He can rig two bamboo water chutes with a trip switch that alternates them, with a bag under each. Just like the Monjolo, but doubled up. This would be a hands free way of providing serious air. And half of it is already built. He just needs a seperate monjolo on the other side. And everything stays kinda dry. Why? Production time. At some stage, Duong must create a lathe. In order to do that, he needs metal bearings and cogs and shafts. If he builds this air system, that dramatically reduces the time needed to perfect a cog. Once he has his cylinder bearings made, he is good to go with the heavy equipment. Then he can get serious about a proper waterwheel for torque. As you have all seen, Duong did build the waterwheel, but was kind of lost as to what to do with it. Time moves on, and things fail. I'm all up for it. Maybe we can create an "Ideas for Duong" FB page. I really like the idea of people knowing how to crawl out of a stone age. While not wrecking the enviroment. And I think this is a really important point. CONTEXT. Duong lives in a place where trees grow faster than a bankers wallet. Other fans should take their nature into account. Chopping a few trees down for Duong is fine. They will be right back there in 5 years. Not so much in Europe or the US. A European contributor will have to consider that. No 2: He is a content creator and has to take shortcuts. Yes. He showed you how to smelt iron. It is utterly impossible to get a wage from KZbin using all the processes involved each time. To do so would take years between content. There would be no point. So, yes. He does get some ignots in. Same way our Australian friend gets a car up to his neck of the woods. Both guys - (and I consider them perfectly equal in terms of content) do a great service to us. Different cultures, different enviroment, different materials. John is a great guy. So is Duong. So is Lar's over at Survival Russia. These are the real lads. They don't make or do stupid things. Like an "Underground retreat with a swimming pool." These are real skills. For people with a mentality over 5 years old or a tendancy to move more than an inch on their lard ass computer chair.
