Happy new lunar year btw are you planing to remake the axe ? Seeing you get your hand on those tools i thouht that would be the first thing you do (the axe )
RUclips's algorithm incentivizes shorter videos and the opposite for longer videos. Apparently it is at 20 minutes. Although RUclips tweaks it sometimes.
That would require showing the part where he buys usable steel from a local manufacturer. From his previous videos: "A bloom like that, after forming the ingot would not only be 1/3 the size (if hammered with modern tools) but also full of voids and imperfections. It is clear that the resultant steel comes from a modern manufacturing process and is not formed from the minerals you dug out of the ground." You're allowed to watch and enjoy whatever you'd like but the comments are a little much
The important thing isn't "where you get the iron", the important thing is that you know and know how to do the process to extract it. In addition marketing , trade and exchange was normal in primitive times. There are other channels that have bad luck and don't live in an area rich in iron, but that shouldn't be the end of the channel. EXCELLENT WORK!! I take my hat off after you.
when hammering on a rock or anvil make sure to have hearing protection or else you'll end up deaf before you're an old man... wax from bees wax candles is a good substitute... but when in doubt go for the most modern...
ilmango's quad witch farm for Redstone, but in real life using basic tools I made from punching trees and collecting stones . . oh, forget it. He should just make a vid called "Minecraft in real life"
@@rockystanaitis2908 : Nah !! They trained us. Who cleans up their "calling cards" ? Who feeds them the good stuff ? Who takes them on walks ? We even get up and open the door when they want out !! We've been trained well !! Now, if we could only be taught to roll over, and play dead on command !!
it is incredible how difficult it is to acquire simple tools that today we buy very cheaply. technological evolution is really something that has transformed our lives for the better.
First of all: Amazing video, thanks! But why didn't you show the last step of the knife. I mean I have no clue how you managed to get this iron cycle around the knife end at the beginning of the blade. Would be interesting
That piece is how I know this guy is legit. That is a regular metal bracer. The wood split when he was trying to put the knife inside. So instead of making the same work all over, he used a metal bracer (from a normal manufacturer) to hold the wood close to the tang of the knife. this means he actually built the knife and had problems along the way, instead of buying a normal one. This makes him more legit, but he can not claim he is 100% primitive (which he never was).
Steel Age: ACHIEVED - an unusual goal without modern editing. This guy certainly has skills but it is interesting that we always have screen time for "check out the garden" and "let's sweep up" but critical elements like consolidating the bloom into an ingot are always missing. Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn ;)
@@Sowiso4 I would assume he skips the incredibly time consuming and slow parts. I'm bothered by all the iron age type iron blooms that skip the bronze age stuff that humanity built the iron age on top of. :D
@@StopTryingSoHard Bronze requires a precise mixture of copper and tin, which are not as common as iron, and are not usually found together. (Copper and tin mines may be hundreds of miles apart.) The claim by modern history that there was a "bronze age" preceding the "iron age" is nonsense.
I'm guessing you read a bunch of Graham Connah's criticisms of the "Bronze Age". He's pretty much wrong at this point, there've been more recent archaeometallurgical studies that pretty much confirm that widespread existence of bronze in most places followed by the widespread existance of iron, then the widespread existance of steel. It is a bit wonky as there are places that don't seem to ever have "bronze", but then have iron. It's speculated that this is simply due to when trade happened and what people had to trade.
@@codetech5598 : Are you arguing the archeological strata proof ?!! That all the Bronze artifacts were invented AFTER, iron !! And, that they went back and dug down below the Iron age stuff to bury the bronze pieces ..... all over the ancient World ?!!
Brilliant ! I like how you practise primitive technologies rationally with no fancy house or swimming pool but rice paddys for real food production at scale and an efficient hut. And you make real tools step by step, without compromise or cheating with modern technologies. Your knife is awesome, looks so strong and sharp, and i'm sure it will make your life much easier !
These are super interesting and enjoyable to watch, but I feel like a lot of people are being sucked into the fiction that he took the bloom from the previous video and somehow is now forming steel tools out of it. I guess I can see why he can't admit that he's just showing the idea of how these things were done rather than doing them, but it feels deceptive to me. There is no way you can take a bloom of iron and then suddenly voila! have a lump of steel that can be forged into useful knives & tools. Iron is not steel. Tools made from that smelting process would be wrought iron, or close to it, and would simply snap when used. Plus I suspect a few liberties were taken here with modern tools (like the sudden cut where he has to drift out the holes in the tongs, which is very difficult to do with the tools he was using) in this video as well, besides simply using steel that he's hammered into a rough-looking shape. I'm not saying the videos aren't great, or that a lot of work doesn't go into them, because they are and it clearly does. I'm just saying that there are a couple of places here where huge obstacles are suddenly overcome, and we should understand that. I don't have a problem with it, I'm just saying it's definitely happening.
A lot if what he does is possible. It's hard but that's the point. Cutting up your video so its. It extensively long and shows him doing the same thing is boring to the viewer so he chops it up. Out of all channels I've seen he's one of the realest.
Honestly making steel is done exactly how he showed: a bloomery. Instead of working the entire bloom, however (unless one is confident enough carbon was absorbed), the bloom can be flattened into a disc and shattered. The pieces can then be inspected to determine rough carbon level (usually by relative hardness), and then worked (consolidated and folded repeatedly) into billets of steel with differing amounts of carbon in each. It is important to know that it is extremely difficult to not get steel when smelting iron. As carbon is used to react with oxygen in the ore, the refined metal then drips, sinks, or what-have you to collect into a bloom. While it is doing this, it absorbs carbon from the charcoal it cascades through. These more primitive forms of steel, however, like crucible and bloomery steels, freely lose their carbon in the atmosphere when heated. This results in something wrought from primitive steels to be considerably lower in carbon content, as it is heated and worked for quite some time. Modern metals, however, are much more stable and less susceptible to carbon bleed. This also means that primitive steels with a carbon content that is too high (>0.8%) can be worked until they reach a desirable state. What I want to know is how he processed a rough bloom into those tools, or if and how he hardened his tools, tempered, etc. Or perhaps more importantly, how he worked inclusions and slag out of the material.
@@aserpentshandofficial If the process takes like ten hours, he could show 5-10 sec of each 30min section, so that we could see the progress step by step without having to watch hours of content ... but for some mysterious reason he includes just the first and the very last part of a difficult process.
That's awesome! Your first iron tools must have been very difficult to make with only wooden and stone stools, but now that you have iron hammer, iron pincers and iron axe, it is probably a lot easier to make more iron stuff :D
The water-powered loom was the foundation of the European Industrial Revolution... textiles are a side of technology that is rarely explored to its fullest!
Ahhh this is so freaking cool!! You're making iron tools like a true blacksmith!!! Hope to one day see you use these tools to build something really really cool! Love watching you work!!! 🤯🤯
High quality steel can only be made in a blast furnace ... or in a crucible. With charcoal furnace, all you can hope is for medieval steel, which require a lot of forging to drive out the impurities.
That said, you can forge a lot of adequate tools with medieval steel, given that you only have a human or horse (oxen, donkey, mule etc) putting load on it.
@@Zamolxes77 Using wraught iron in a crucible with pig iron can produce Damascus steel, takes time and some more ingredients. May be possible if he does further iron projects to start making better wraught iron and more ingots, would require more people working the bellows, or have it be water powered and to convert some coal (not charcoal) into coke.
@@calebjohnson9338 And that's exactly what I said. Unfortunately, crucible steel is hard to obtain and even harder to work. And no, he cannot obtain Damascus steel. Unless he gets his hands somehow of correct iranian or arabian ore.
It's still questionable where you got this amount of good quality iron. Your bloom really didn't seem that big and the iron you got out of it seems a little too stable for these conditions. It would be great if you could show at least small view into your resource production. Where do you get all this charcoal? It doesn't seem like you produced it yourself. Please clarify this, it wouldn't be a problem if you got your resources from elsewhere. But I (and probably many others) would like some information about that. Thanks!
Watch all of his previous videos, you'll get the answer. He has show us how to make a charcoal, extract the ore. Even if he used external resources, whats the problem? Did he use your money to buy it?
The important thing isn't "where you get the iron", the important thing is that you know and know how to do the process to extract it. In addition marketing , trade and exchange was normal in primitive times. There are other channels that have bad luck and don't live in an area rich in iron, but that shouldn't be the end of the channel.
I think the people calling you fake have got to be kidding themselves, he has documented everything he has done until now, and now you start to doubt him? Why steal his prize, this is a great achievement!
i knew it when he skipped the hammering process with the stones in his last vid that those blanks are not actually from his attempt at making iron. Don´t really mind it, but it still a bit sad. :(
In any event, he'll have sore elbows with his technique. You're not suppose to hold the the anvil so tightly, let gravity help drop weight onto the object and grab tighter on the lift. Oh well, maybe he'll google technique one day.
Love these series. I think watching these will simulate one's thinking capabilities. You show how little it takes to create anything. I think ladies need to watch more to enter a territory which men held for centuries. There is no reason why mechanical creativity should be limited.

Please do not stop making these series as we will always watch them. May Christ (a master carpenter himself) be always protecting you.

You are really making astonishing progress. The worth of these tools you create, is priceless. Tongs, knife, machete, hammer and axe - all the tools I'd want on a long-term survival trip. All you need in addition is a spade (IF you want to build underground stuff :).
I have to give it to you. Your perseverance has finally caused me to want to subscribe to your channel. ❤ Keep up the hard work! You are living a dream only very few people in North America (both countries) can get to live. It makes me dream. 😊 Thank you!
Is there any way for you to procure some leather or other alternatives? Burns via forging is really serious, and I'm worried about you. Get some protection, mate!
Little bit off topic but Here in Brazil people bring pistols and 20 gauges in case something goes down while in the forests, because spotted giant cats and stuff
The way he forge those iron is still questionable. A lot of unnecessary footage in this video and previous video to make him seen 'legit' forging that iron into a knife/machete.
Loving the direction this channel is taking, keep going man! Next step up the tech tree! It would be impossible to judge through a screen the quality of your metals, do they hold an edge for a long time or dull quickly? and since its not out of your current technology level I recommend you try case hardening like clickspring has a video on. Files would help you make tools more advanced tools quickly.
@@Penultimate_Jive if you go back to how he made his hammer and machete thing he made A LOT of steel from that small bloom of iron and slag. Had he actually done it, I think he would have had video recording of at least some of it, not just the start and end of the hardest part of the process.
@@saucytendies It is entirely possible that he made a majority of it off camera. He recorded more than enough to demonstrate the process, and to prove he's capable of refining iron.
Haha that was a cool video, thanks for that But you showed "putting the blade into the handle and, just like last time, jumped to "ah also I made a small disc of metal (which is super super hard to forge with primitive tool) and the cut seems kinda fake :x
You’re now on the way to achieve some incredible things since you got the technology for steel 👌 The best is coming !! Hope to see the next steps of your trip into human technology history ;)
Man, whats with all these comments complainig about him not being genuine? I think it doesn't matter if he does everything off camera exactly how it's shown in the video. Either way he shows a ton of skill and patience, and that is really remarkable. What matters for us is that we have a wonderful time watching the videos and I for myself can definetly say I do. I also really love that he stays positive, reads the comments and responds to them :) PS: You should definetly consider forging a chisel and a draw knife... these tools are damn handy ;)
@@commondognut Doesn't look like the metal he refined himself (as a reminder, check how he made his axe and knife), feels more like he took proper metal and hammered it into the shapes ("molded into different shapes" - subtitles), considering how they look.
feha92 and I assume you have spent many years around metal to be able to tell this? I can tell you first hand that you cannot tell steels apart based on looks
@@commondognut Mostly it is based on how he showed that his prior iron had holes/bubbles in it, and other such imperfections when he cast his axe and knife. In addition, I remember that the video just before this one also has loads of actual blacksmiths weighing in on the topic regarding the jump from having a bloom to condense, to having iron that seems way better than the blooms should have resulted in (both quantity and quality).
Dude this guy is slaying these primitive videos, he just turned it up a notch bringing in the Iron Age yet some other primitive idiots are still building swimming pools. Good on you man, and you’re way better then some of these blacksmiths on RUclips making tools from scratch. Good job 👍
that is not a handle, it's a bracer. the wood probably split when inserting the knife, and instead of starting all over, he braced the wood with metal so it sticks to the tang. That actually makes me convinced the knife is legit, otherwise he would just buy a flawless manufactured one and damage it. I think he bought the bracer, instead of making it, but I'm fine with that.
I think the next goal shoud be architecture achievement. Build a new house with primitive bricks, make a good roof, door, windows, a fireplace and a chimney. And a shed to store charcoal and firewood. You could build a toilet too with an artesian well. And after you made all that you could start to make some furnitures like a bed, table, chair...
groundfloorguthrie. One. He did not have it past the temp he needed to have a successful quench and two there probably isn’t enough carbon to be able to harden
@@iansmith8944 I was answering an honest question with an honest answer. I did not make a judgement upon veracity one way or another. I'm sure I do not know the temperature of the metal based on the video in question, nor do I know the chemical makeup based on the same. If you have insight on how one might obtain this knowledge based on watching the video (excluding supposition), I am interested.
This is very exciting. Well done sir. I would like to see you create a water wheel to power your blower, grind some grain,power a cam driven hammer, or even charge your phone. You have an amazing water flow why not use it to reduce your work load.
Sad to see one of my favourite channels going this route, should have come clean and said he obtained the raw iron preforged and used atleast a few modern tools or showed the full footage. Still liked the video anyways

Your new tools and experience have greatly improved your blacksmithing skills! What a chore you accomplished great job. I still think you need something on your feet around all that molten metal and coals.
И инструментов наделал, и показал всем сомневающимся, что сам делал бруски железа. Молодец, руки золотые
Руки откуда надо, не спорю. Но он всё-равно не показал, как из той невнятной чугунины со шлаком, вылепил такие ровные брусочки и круглый молоток, при помощи лишь камней) . Хотя обычно показывает всё подряд, навроде подкидывания угля в костёр. И как кромки лезвий закалял, как металл отпускал. Фигня это всё, но с фантазией, за это лайк ему))
Ага и ось из 4х-сантиметрового куска вдруг превратилась в аккуратненькую заклепку
@@AlexFrohman/videos Подрезал болгарочкой, на водно-бамбуковой тяге :D
конечно все "честно", больстер из вакуума материализовался.
After 5 seconds, I paused the video. I just wanted to write that your videos make my days more beautiful. Thank you
Nicely done, Very enjoyable to watch!
I love the way he goes around hitting random things with his weapon - gotta check for those mimics
next episode of Primitive Skills: Iron man suit and plasma trusters part 2. melt your own Vibranium.
Your metal working videos are my favourite, thanks for sharing.
Everybody that is here waiting for him to raid is being very silly.
Hahahahahahhhahahaaha
You are really making astonishing progress.
The worth of these tools you create, is priceless.
Tongs, knife, machete, hammer and axe - all the tools I'd want on a long-term survival trip.
All you need in addition is a spade (IF you want to build underground stuff :).
This new version of terrafermacraft looks good, can't wait to play
1.12 version ?
@@monyclair5357 no prob 1.15
good handmade, with no sharp tools you already have a knife and a machete for daily use. Keep up the good work this friend.
Make a pole lathe for handles and the like
then,make a waterwheel
Spring pole lathe would be easy enough.... Or Viking style
Jump cutting to success should be the name of this series
congratulations, great video is amazing what you can do with so little.
СПАСИБО, Большая работа, видео натурально, нет фейков, нет обмана, .
Все натурально и правдиво.
Вы лучший.
Now aim for the achievement: "Cover Me With Diamonds"
Fantastic! Making tools to help in others things is amazing! Regards from Brazil!
i want make tools like him😄
So why not to go outside and do it?
@@voidex136 well i mean they could ask there mom. i think they know a thing or two about making tools.
@@SharkyMan419 hahaha! Brilliant! :D
Thanks bro , u have hard work to relax alot of us
YES TONGS! I was wondering when you were going to up your tool game and make a pair. Awesome job man!
I have to give it to you. Your perseverance has finally caused me to want to subscribe to your channel. ❤
Keep up the hard work! You are living a dream only very few people in North America (both countries) can get to live. It makes me dream. 😊
Thank you!
You sir are my new favorite person on RUclips
And to you sir I say boooooooooo
@Sameone but use cheats)
Love this channel. I turn off my ad block and play this ALL DAY!
@@HowToHydroponics Given the nature of your channel I'm going to ask you if that's what you REALLY meant?
Do providers still get paid when it's on?
Is there any way for you to procure some leather or other alternatives? Burns via forging is really serious, and I'm worried about you. Get some protection, mate!
KaiserXIII I believe those Shrek feet of his are better than steel toe boots.....
Thank you for another fun video to watch! I know it's a lot of hard work but we really enjoy it!
So when you’ll be raiding?
He don't look Viking to me
He needs armour first
until he gets a diamond armor
Jeremy Fisher How about all the other raiders in human history...
Ya like pirates or the celtics
I enjoy all your videos. I just started watching when you made a steel bloom. I am a blacksmith, Great work!
now he just needs a spear
i dont think he will be hunting with a melee weapon or attacking other people. cool idea though
@@paddlesaddlelad1881 more of a protection in case something happens spear then
@@nekoreaper777 defense is cool too
Little bit off topic but Here in Brazil people bring pistols and 20 gauges in case something goes down while in the forests, because spotted giant cats and stuff
@@drewinsur7321 thats pretty virgin
Man this Dr. Stone live action series is great! At the end I was waiting for "pliers and knife, acquired!"
The way he forge those iron is still questionable. A lot of unnecessary footage in this video and previous video to make him seen 'legit' forging that iron into a knife/machete.
Wait, you didnt want to see 2 minutes of plants that had nothing to with the video?
You doing a great job it's fun watching this project progress
Great job! I love the content you are producing.
Loving the direction this channel is taking, keep going man! Next step up the tech tree!
It would be impossible to judge through a screen the quality of your metals, do they hold an edge for a long time or dull quickly? and since its not out of your current technology level I recommend you try case hardening like clickspring has a video on. Files would help you make tools more advanced tools quickly.
Feels like I am with his journey.
Don't think he actually made that steel himself, but still really cool to give an idea on how a village could do this over a few years!
I think he did, considering that he has recorded everything in his other videos.
@@Penultimate_Jive if you go back to how he made his hammer and machete thing he made A LOT of steel from that small bloom of iron and slag. Had he actually done it, I think he would have had video recording of at least some of it, not just the start and end of the hardest part of the process.
@@saucytendies It is entirely possible that he made a majority of it off camera. He recorded more than enough to demonstrate the process, and to prove he's capable of refining iron.
peanut and sweetcorn.
Yep
Nice work. But soo time consuming
Haha that was a cool video, thanks for that
But you showed "putting the blade into the handle and, just like last time, jumped to "ah also I made a small disc of metal (which is super super hard to forge with primitive tool) and the cut seems kinda fake :x
Yeah where did the metal disc come from?
I agree. He also cut when he was making the hinge for the new metal tong. One point they a small rod then next they are already done.
You’re now on the way to achieve some incredible things since you got the technology for steel 👌
The best is coming !! Hope to see the next steps of your trip into human technology history ;)
Hey hey Should try to make an anvil it would be Easier then using that rock. XD
Người Việt mình giỏi quá! Chúc mừng anh, năm mới nhiều thành công hơn nữa nhé!
This is just like the X Files: I WANT TO BELIEVE!
phlm93 don't need to believe, just learn and enjoy.
Man, whats with all these comments complainig about him not being genuine? I think it doesn't matter if he does everything off camera exactly how it's shown in the video. Either way he shows a ton of skill and patience, and that is really remarkable. What matters for us is that we have a wonderful time watching the videos and I for myself can definetly say I do.
I also really love that he stays positive, reads the comments and responds to them :)
PS: You should definetly consider forging a chisel and a draw knife... these tools are damn handy ;)
where did he get the metal from tho?
Please watch previous video
Jensen R he refined it himself
@@commondognut Doesn't look like the metal he refined himself (as a reminder, check how he made his axe and knife), feels more like he took proper metal and hammered it into the shapes ("molded into different shapes" - subtitles), considering how they look.
feha92 and I assume you have spent many years around metal to be able to tell this? I can tell you first hand that you cannot tell steels apart based on looks
@@commondognut Mostly it is based on how he showed that his prior iron had holes/bubbles in it, and other such imperfections when he cast his axe and knife. In addition, I remember that the video just before this one also has loads of actual blacksmiths weighing in on the topic regarding the jump from having a bloom to condense, to having iron that seems way better than the blooms should have resulted in (both quantity and quality).
Dude this guy is slaying these primitive videos, he just turned it up a notch bringing in the Iron Age yet some other primitive idiots are still building swimming pools. Good on you man, and you’re way better then some of these blacksmiths on RUclips making tools from scratch. Good job 👍
6:54 sudenny its a nice rod, not the raw spit rough hune chunks they started with....
Right before that you can see an in-between stage so that part seems legit unlike the actual procurement of the iron bars
Wow .. Superb brother. Let videos keep coming ..
Вот и началась металлизация быта и выживания.
Я ему предложил сварить булат
Постанова, он своими клещами не смог бы даже удержать у ножа заглушки железные
@@ИльяШемякин-т7л у него почти все постановка и читерство
автор читер, кто заметил когда больстер появился)
@@RolandUp Во Вьетнаме тоже кушать хотят.
this guy would be chillin if he was ever selected for the hunger games
A tree conveniently chopped before and just "find" it there @ 13:10 mark...then a polished handle appears with a metal ring on a knife
that is not a handle, it's a bracer. the wood probably split when inserting the knife, and instead of starting all over, he braced the wood with metal so it sticks to the tang. That actually makes me convinced the knife is legit, otherwise he would just buy a flawless manufactured one and damage it. I think he bought the bracer, instead of making it, but I'm fine with that.
I think the next goal shoud be architecture achievement. Build a new house with primitive bricks, make a good roof, door, windows, a fireplace and a chimney. And a shed to store charcoal and firewood. You could build a toilet too with an artesian well. And after you made all that you could start to make some furnitures like a bed, table, chair...
16:54 where did the metal bolster came from?
hardware store it was on the knife when he bought it
This channel's credibility has fallen so deep. It was really obvious last video.
Best video survival.... Good job bro......
All of the tools are so soft,
he need to know about quenching tools ...
dhruve singh this is what I was going to say. He’s going to be sharpening that knife a lot if he doesn’t harden it.
dhruve singh assuming this is the actual iron he smelted (doubtfully). It would probably have to little carbon to sufficiently harden in a quench
He shows his 'quenching' technique in a previous video, making the machete.
groundfloorguthrie. One. He did not have it past the temp he needed to have a successful quench and two there probably isn’t enough carbon to be able to harden
@@iansmith8944 I was answering an honest question with an honest answer. I did not make a judgement upon veracity one way or another. I'm sure I do not know the temperature of the metal based on the video in question, nor do I know the chemical makeup based on the same. If you have insight on how one might obtain this knowledge based on watching the video (excluding supposition), I am interested.
This is very exciting. Well done sir. I would like to see you create a water wheel to power your blower, grind some grain,power a cam driven hammer, or even charge your phone. You have an amazing water flow why not use it to reduce your work load.
the amount of charcole needed for this should answer the question where the european woods have gone :p
This is one tough and resourceful guy
Sad to see one of my favourite channels going this route, should have come clean and said he obtained the raw iron preforged and used atleast a few modern tools or showed the full footage. Still liked the video anyways
Last time I bought flat bar and round bar from a store it was pristine. The metal he has looks terrible. Could you elaborate how it’s “pre-forged”?
Primitive skills is one of few channels, that I believe are fair and not cheating. Are you 100%
positive, that he cheated this time?
I guess you missed the previous videos where he literally crushed up iron ore and forged those bars
I really want to believe coz i love the content, but that wierd jump cut from last video got me worried
While i really appreciate the hard work he puts into the videos, can't help being skeptic
There should be a reality show where all these guys are stranded (marooned) on an island and use these mad skills. Primitive Island #REAL!
Oh boy!
This video is fantastic!
Keep up the iron workings too i love this content!!!
He made all this without modern tools 🤯 i can't even cook an egg
Fantastic work dude
Which part of Vietnam 🇻🇳 are you in brother?
trully impressive
only channel i really enjoy watching, keep it up!
The hardware store must of had a discount on stock steel.
if you had watched his previous video you would have ssen that these are actualy made by himself
@@warsowgamer4fun Made the tools by himself? Sure.
Made the iron for the tools by himself? Not a chance!
Loved every bit of each and every videos of yours
Me no under stand the title
Iron age achieved without modern tools! ...there I cleaned it up for ya
@@LeeHill66 what was the title before it was corrected?
Awesome video. I love that its in 4k SOOO PRETTY. Jokes aside very cool and impressive. I envy this alot wish i had the time to do 1/10 of this.
