Primitive Skills: Forged Spades!

u do see him getting burnt a few times tho. my my younger days when working with a crew i was holding a metal pipe for something when they where grinding it fucking burt alot when the red hot flakes of metal goes down your neck or eats away at your gloves..

Can I just say how very impressed I am, by this young man's determination to make a simple and happy life. By his creativity and ingenuity, and by his skill. Im not often awed by people. Lately, were not showing our best selves. This guy has us all beat, hands down. If you read your comments? Thank you so much for sharing the story of your life. Its a lot better than most of what you see in the world of media today. 😊 Good luck in your journeys.🥰🥰🥰

[@bujtorm]

If not for else, these videos serve as an excellent demonstration just how much of a difference even the simplest, crude, rough forged metal tools make compared to wood and stone.

I developed a whole new respect as soon as he laid the handle in the first time. I thought the first part WAS his shovel.

[@naufalahmed5798]

same feeling here bro..

[@Solo-Finger]

I was kind of disappointed, the finished product was more of a pick that a spade

[@frankohero]

By now you have all the tools you may want/need my friend. And you learned smithing the hard way. How about creating something like a loom? To make your own cloth? A strong blanket as f.e. a door may be a good idea.

[@aethelwyrnblack4918]

Cloth... to fix that damn shirt!!!

[@WallHaxxx]

@@aethelwyrnblack4918 That's what I was going to say.

[@gfsvc]

A basic shuttle would be a good start

[@Minion0ne]

i'd say needle and thread first. maybe then an inkle style (band) loom for making straps. easiest method would likely be cotton, though i would love to see a taming of a wool producing creature. however, being aware of the rainy seasons as well as not knowing how he would pen said creature durring the story seasons, i dont see this as immediately viable.

[@frankohero]

@@Minion0ne I have not yet seen "primitive" channels making leather. Needle and thread are not a problem to build for "Primitive Skills". No idea what creatures deliver wool in these countries. I have never seen sheep there. I would put stuff (like the mask is made of) on the bottom of an water-purifying-system (to prevent charcoal-particles from slipping into the purified water). For real clothes, wool is needed? But blankets or other mats don't need wool. Hmmmm.

It's about time you made a drift and drove a hole through the hammer to put a proper handle on it.

[@CheerfuEntropy]

this is solid advice

[@waddefaq4325]

Yeah. The current handle make the hammer lost some energy force when wield. Plus, its dangerous, the hammer steel would fly away if the handle loose, might hit his head. He should make a new properly handle for hammer. Hope he read this. Sorry my english suck.

[@munchkin5674]

Good advice from all of you. Remember though that this is an exploration, a evolution of skills. He must go through the learning process, step by step, making improvements as he works through his growth. If he jumps ahead to use a more modern improvement, he will miss some of the evolutionary process.

[@jaredmccutcheon5496]

I was watching that hammer slide back and forth thinking the exact same thing. Also the hits would pack a lot more force if the head wasn't moving away from the workpiece.

[@mothereric8774]

Going to semi-hijack this to say a trompe for furnace air supply (using the water hammer water input) would increase efficiency.

[@kevinburgess6112]

no high dollar anvil, a self made hammer, not even a pair of pos shoes on his feet, great work my friend, another very useful tool created. thanks for sharing, new subscriber here. 👍 🙂

[@GhoulishMink]

I noticed that the head to your hammer keeps sliding back each time you strike (presumably the reason you keep flipping the hammer) this would mean there is a loss in the energy transfer between the hammer and the metal. And sometimes even a small amount of movement can mean an exponential decrease in how much energy is transferred directly to the metal. Maybe try making a handle that would hold it more securely. It would keep the head in place and that would also improve the effectiveness. Also another tip, you may want to consider rounding one side of the hammer. Rounded hammers can be very helpful in moving more material

[@narskliene1536]

If this was hardenable steel you may wish to temper it. Otherwise you could bring the piece to a cherry red temperature and stick it into a bucket of charcoal powder for three hours. The piece being big enough to hold the heat and coupled with that the insulating properties of the charcoal you would be able to case harden the piece. Then quench like you did in the video.

One thing I noticed in the video is that your hammer head is slipping through the handle, I think it's about time you put a better handle on it to prevent slippage, next start working on some kind of animal coop, probably for chickens so you get their eggs, and with that shovel you can flatten out a larger area to build a bigger house

[@teemac1298]

I wouldn't even roast marshmallows barefoot but that's just me

[@braydenschmitz6985]

If you are hardening it in water to get the full effect and Harden it all around you have to have it moving around in the water so steam doesn't encapsulate it and keep it from hardening
