Did you clean and season the wok? Because it isn't stainless steel, you need to treat it like a cast-iron skillet. I think that's why the sugar turned black because of the carbon/iron.
I also forgot to add that they need to let it sit for a few weeks to crystalize. I am not exactly sure what sugar they made. Yet they should have ended with a thick molasses product.
There is something weirdly satisfying about watching an expert like Adri struggle to do something outside their comfort zone just like Andy normally does.
I do find it funny how Andy always starts off going to a professional "just to learn" and then inevitably they become recruited to the team because as it turns out, doing a lot of this stuff takes a ton of skill and that's probably why it took so long for humanity to develop this stuff.
HTME: we have no clue how to grow wheat or corn but we’ll try because it’s not dangerous like blacksmithing, which is best left to experts. HTME blacksmith: I have no clue what I’m doing.
To be fair, Adri does do blacksmithing, just not this specific kind of work. You could ask me to write a C# program-- and I could do it because I have a lot of programming experience-- but the code would be ugly as sin because I've only touched the language once and I don't have the wealth of experience that some people do.
@@TheElfsmithgood work is good work. You should try to get a tree stump with a dent carved in the middle or a large steel pipe set on end, it works great for dishing sheet stock. You start in the center of the sheet and work your way outwards in a spiral pattern. I've been able to dish a near perfect hemisphere inside a tube, without even heating it.
I just wanted to say that you inspired me to grow my own corn this summer, and we made our own flower and used it for baking. It was a fun experience for me and my kid, and I thank you. :)
Nice to see you back hope everything's going well with the rebuild. Tip for Adri : for pan style compound curve work i like to use a canvas bag full of shot.
@@TheElfsmith if you are still looking for tips and tricks for sheet metal work, check out David Guyton here on RUclips. He is an armorsmith that has a whole bunch of basic how-to videos.
@@DH-xw6jp Aha, eventually! I have plans to make my own armorer's forge and some raising stakes in the near future, but I had met up with Greg the sword casting guy earlier that day and the previous evening, and didn't exactly have time or energy for a ton of research.
@@TheElfsmith I'd also suggest for thin sheet metal, if you want to replicate a common shape (like a bowl, pan, or pilgrim's charm), you can carve a form out of hard wood and hammer the sheet down into it, using smaller tools as you go to manage fine details if the form has any.
Don't push yourself and burn out. Take care of yourself HTME. Also, I'd push for a metal mortar and pestle soon as you can because a legitimate medical dental condition in the middle ages was rock shards breaking off water mills, infecting the bread and getting stuck in teeth and such causing teeth pain and teeth to sometimes crack if memory serves. I'd look into it just in case.
It is very much a thing. Archaeologist can tell a lot about ancient cultures diets by looking at tooth wear. Cultures that ate a lot of stone ground grains are very worn because of the fine grit that always ends up in the flour.
I certainly recall something like that. And making a mortar and pestle is much easier than a wok. You just round off an ingot, then use progressively larger rounded bludgeons to make a hole in the ingot and force it outwards. The pestle is as simple as forming the shape, then hitting the hot metal to stone or something similarly course.
for large scale production, running the non concentrated beat water thru a sand stone filter would clear it up a lot. wouldn't be that hard but that requires more water to keep the sugar dissolved at or below ambient temperature. find giant sand stone bolder dig a hole in the center on it leaving a conical shape on the bottom so the water drips in one spot and prime it with several buckets of regular water so it can be fine tuned for optimal filter speed. as long as there is no bacteria in the beat water and wat crudely filtered before pouring in the sand stone trap the water should retain the sugar and pick up a few minerals on the way. when the sand stone is no longer viable it can be crushed into sand and added to clay dirt making it easier for the plant roots to disperse, by pulverizing it first. sees a cob, just eats it raw not even remotely close to ripe... because that's what dogs do, they can smell but have no sense of taste.

Yeah. There are tutorials online about wok making, but I'm glad Adri decided to try it blind. It was an interesting experiment. Adri made it backwards. Your supposed to start shaping it out gradually from center to outside. Bending it as you turn it on the anvil and leaving the center thicker than the rim.
I've done a little blacksmithing, mostly making small tools and knives, but I have a few friends who are armorers, which as Adri pointed out is a much more closely related skill set. Watching him make that I kept thinking, "Well, that's one way to do that. It's the hard way, but it's a way to do it."
To the smith: You can do this easily with cold forging. You need to get a big piece of wood, and chisel out a bowl, with the curve you want on the metal. oh! and you need a rounded hammer as well.
Personally, I would have plantished the bowl over a dished stump. Then up the metal on a spoke to plantish it further. Really get rid of those rough bumps. About 45 minutes of that and he would be fine.
In Germany there is a spread for bread which is basically sugarbeet syrup and depending on thickness it ranges in color from black to like a dark golden brown. Goldsaft is one Brand as an example
With the corn flakes not binding well, it might have to do with not having nixtamalized the corn, which also would release more nutrients and help with the flavor. Essentially you’d be making fresh masa, or masa harina if you dried it out and made it into a powder to re-form into dough.
The biggest problem you had with boiling the sugar beats is that you didn't clean and season your pan. You have to clean all the carbon off from the forging process and then heat it up and rub it with oil, let it cool and rinse and repeat a couple times. If not you end up with exactly what you did, a black/grey nasty disgusting tasting mess. Also ask Cody from Cody's Lab for help with that, he's made sugar from sugar beats a couple times. Something else you missed was the part of the recipe that you said that the ground it, cooked it, ground it and cooked it again and then rolled it out and it became the flakes and then they cooked those. You only ground and cooked it once which is why they were so grainy and not smooth. Alternatively you could've just ground it into finer flour, cooking the corn before grinding it also would've helped, just like how the Mexicans make corn flour aka masa for tortillas and tamales.
To the smith! In the future, try plantishing the sheet with a ballpin hammer on a dishing stump, then flip it over once you have a basic shape. Using a raised blunt spoke and a flat hammer, compress the bumps back down. Work your way from the center outward. By doing this you create a dished shape. It's actually pretty easy! I use it when making armor.
Thank you! I have absolutely 0 experience with armorer's work, so this was all one big learning experiment for me. Definitely wanna revisit with the new tips and tricks I've learned through both the process and these comments!
The major problem you had was not allowing the corn to hydrate. You need to allow the corn to absorb all of the water it can. Which then makes it a paste rather than corn bits.
Some kind of bowl die is immensely helpful if you try to work sheet metal into a curved shape, as it pretty much holds a constant radius and so takes a bit of the guesswork out of the forging. While there are steel ones, a T- shaped lump of lead (so you can clamp it in a vice) or the end of a log also work well, since before working the sheet metal you can just indent the desired shape into them, and they leave a smoother surface than steel dies.
Fun fact! John Kellogg believed that eating a bland diet would suppress sexual desire and discourage people from masturbating. The cereals he invented were in service of this belief.
I feel like the general quality of your baked stuff could be greatly improved by either a sifter or a stone miller. It seems like the common issue is that it's wayyy too much work to grind the grain enough by hand, and the texture and quality suffers for it. It makes sense not to grind it more, it's already a grueling process, but I think it would make baking easier.
@@beriorgar Except I'm broke AF and live in an Apartment inside a city so I got no money for the materials, or the land (be it a garden, yard or field) to grow my own corn. OH And for some reason corn has gotten SUPER expensive up here with 4 ears of corn at the store costing 10 dollars... I regularly have like, 0 dollars after rent, bills and buying my staple foods.
@@nekomasteryoutube3232 10$ for 4 ears of corn !!?!??! They are in season right now, I just bought 60 for 23$ last saturday. Supermarket in your area are thieves. If I wasn't as broke as you I would drive to your house with a bunch of them so we can have grilled mexican street corn together 🤣🌽🌶🇨🇦
I was thinking the same, why the f are they using Stone Age techniques for something who was invented thousand years later 😂 why not use techniques and tools from the era it’s origins from
As grinding stuff seems to be a hurdle every time, you could try to make like two opposing circular grindstones once you're back and ready after the fire.
Hey man, hope all is well that can be well right now and I hope you are able to manage through the must-be stressful times. Thank you for always creating the inspiring and educational content that you do. We truly appreciate you :)
Great to see you back. One thing I couldn't help but notice was that the premise of the channel is something along the lines of "if all modern technology was destroyed, could we build it again?" and you've kind of shown that you can because you're back in action.
Sugarbeet syrup is an actual thing in Germany, as we have a lot of sugarbeet farming. You can put it on bread for a nice breakfast snack. Pitch black gooie Syrup that's a little bit caramelized is how its supposed to look and you guys nailed it!
Making a pan is an exceptionally difficult and non-intuitive process. Leave the edge alone and only work the middle it'll dish out on its own it makes a lot more sense if you look at it from a cross-sectional view as you were trying to stretch the bottom the most to get that arc while leaving the edge the same size
If you want to make a dough from corn separate the corn into 2 portions. Sprout then dry one portion then grind and mix both portions. Boil half the now malted flour until it can absorb no more water. Let it sit until completely cool (preferably over night) mix in the rest of the dry flour with as much water and fat as is needed to make a stiff paste. Roll out sheets let them rest until they form a skin on top. Tear/cut up the sheets and roast.
Awesome video! Glad you holding in there. Hope everything works out good for you. Thank you for you hard work. I know you done some in the past but it would be interesting to show how many colors you can make with natural dyes
If you need a more effective grinding stone, use a Mexican Comal. The Tortilla Ladies have been using them for centuries to grind corn into tortilla flour and the Aztecs used something similar for even longer to grind food like corn, chili peppers and cocoa beans for use in cooking.
In order to reduce the corn meal to a more flour like consistency you can use something like burlap to filter out the larger pieces, then regrind them.
One of the easiest ways to make a forged metal bowl or pot is to cut or burn the shape you want into the end of a round of firewood then heat your sheet steel to a normal forging temperature and pound it into the form with a forming hammer or ball-peen depending on how tight the curves are. My first time doing this, I used a really beat up old chisel to carve a rough shape, a rasp to refine it and a river stone to smooth it. Second time I used a ball bearing to burn in a depression in the center of the new round then took a bowl I had made in the first mold, ground the outside nearly uniform and used it to burn the rest of the shape in. I had some luck placing it on and lighting a charcoal fire in the bowl but heating it on a fire placing it on went much quicker and since I could rotate the bowl without having to worry about spilling burning coals, it was easier to even out the burn and not have it shift to one side or the other.
Instead of metal would it be possible to make ceramic pot with a stone slab as a base? Or just put some stone slabs together and make a ceramic pot around them. Always wondered if it would be possible to distil water with some clay pots if you get stuck on a deserted island.

In olden times... that blackening effect was avoided by making sugars in copper pots instead to avoid the oxidation

Could That black in the sugar be carbon leaching from the wok? Doesn't seem like it was seasoned in anyway
"Fortified with real rocks!"
If you need a more effective grinding stone, use a Mexican Comal. The Tortilla Ladies have been using them for centuries to grind corn into tortilla flour and the Aztecs used something similar for even longer to grind food like corn, chili peppers and cocoa beans for use in cooking.
4:50 what a lovely one eyed cat🥰
Good to see you guys again! Also, Adrian is an absolute delight.
Keep it up. Thx for content and hope to have more for years to come.
In order to reduce the corn meal to a more flour like consistency you can use something like burlap to filter out the larger pieces, then regrind them.
That wass a very nice version of the Kellogg story
One of the easiest ways to make a forged metal bowl or pot is to cut or burn the shape you want into the end of a round of firewood then heat your sheet steel to a normal forging temperature and pound it into the form with a forming hammer or ball-peen depending on how tight the curves are.
My first time doing this, I used a really beat up old chisel to carve a rough shape, a rasp to refine it and a river stone to smooth it.
Second time I used a ball bearing to burn in a depression in the center of the new round then took a bowl I had made in the first mold, ground the outside nearly uniform and used it to burn the rest of the shape in. I had some luck placing it on and lighting a charcoal fire in the bowl but heating it on a fire placing it on went much quicker and since I could rotate the bowl without having to worry about spilling burning coals, it was easier to even out the burn and not have it shift to one side or the other.
I love your attention to detail.
Instead of metal would it be possible to make ceramic pot with a stone slab as a base? Or just put some stone slabs together and make a ceramic pot around them.
Always wondered if it would be possible to distil water with some clay pots if you get stuck on a deserted island.

This cereal is not a low carbohydrate food. It has 15 carbohydrates. The advertisement says it only has four sugars but for anybody with diabetes a carbohydrate is a carbohydrate.
glad to see you back
I remember Andy was so sad when the fire burned everything.
And look at y’all now, back at it in no time. I knew you all could do it.
This is so cool, we’ll thought out, love your work. Have watched all your content. Very sorry for your business, wishing only the best in the coming year.
10:16 I feel you Adri I feel you.
Try carving a log stump to have a bowl shape heat the sheet metal then use a rawhide mallet to shape
The fire was nature's way of saying you needed to start with building shelter first lol. Glad you guys are back at it tho!
Love that blue/gray milk!
If you wanted to make the metal pot I suggest you use a stump and hit the inside with the ballpen end of the hammer that will make it curve out nicely
Adrian, im impressed you managed to do as well as you did with the tools that I saw. You're not an armorer, but you have the skills and intuition to actually do great. Just need the right tools to make that shine!

@@clairesummers4035 lol, Adri is short for Adrian.
Loved the vid. What you missed out about corn flakes (although I can understand why) is that he originally produced them with the idea that it'd stop patients in his sanitarium from masturbating.
I'd be interested to see you do something with the smut, I've heard it's really delicious if prepared right
I fell asleep while watching last night. Gotta watch again
Loved seeing the Alex Steele anvil in Adri's shop! Best stealth crossover ever!
Can't keep this channel down 💪
Best channel ever on yt. 👏
5:24 You're supposed to "season" the stoneware with flour before using it
I'm glad to see that your civilized human being milk after cereal every time
The bottom of a oxygen cylender works great for forgeing pots and pans
Good to have you back uploading ❤️
Hope you guys are doing good
Raising, dishing and planishing... ah fun times. Stumps are very helpful in dishing ;)
How about How to make sausage or hotdogs?
8:08 is that an Alec Steele anvil I see?!?!?! I just recently started watching his videos and it's what got me into blacksmithing!
We still fully appreciate and support you guys and I wish I could help you rebuild....I'd love to just come hang with you guys and your pets
I think an issue is the grain size of the corn, probably form better flakes if it had a smaller grain size.
Awesome to see you back in the game after the devastating set back. I love you and your team and especially your SISU, which is a finnish term for JUST NOT GIVING UP even when all the shit hits the only fan and even gets that fan stuck and burnt. Awesome. Consider this as a phoenix moment as you're actually rising from the ashes better, bolder and stronger!
And please, more cats! I'd appreciate a dedicated episode for rescue cats, they're not "used", they usually have been abused and have had some rough time. The one in my profile pic is my one and only reason in my darkest hours to keep on pushing. He keeps on purring. And that is all I need as he kneads.
The creator of the universe put love in that kitty for you, and he has a greater hope for you, the hope of abundant life. I don’t have to know you to know this because Jesus died to save the lost not the perfect.
Would be easier if you make like pancake then break it afterwards at least that what I think
Aaaaaaay, Adri's back!
Was not expecting to see a beardie!! They’re such lovable derpy creatures
What a half hearted effort
Y’all look phenomenal fitness wise! Seriously, great job!!
Did you soak the ground corn in lye water overnight?
