Iron smelting from Irish bog ore in the replica of Przeworsk culture slag pit furnace. We used 33 kg of the non-roasted ore and got 8.5 kg soft iron.

I really like watching these old metal processes. It’s really interesting to see how it was done in different parts of the world that have different natural resources.
Fr ❤
Just came after seeing how Africans did it.
I wish I could get my hands on some ore soon. Irish bog ore... your right down in History!!
very awesome and love the disassemblable style furnace, gives me ideas
Yeh, I get it now, the bloom is forge welded together! Never really got that until now! Thanks mate, learnt something from that!
This video made my day thank you for this materpiece!!💕💕💕
And homogenized while in the coal bed. Also intriguing. I'm very curious how that affects the molecular structure of the resulting steel. Scottish claymores do enjoy a reputation for having been unusually hard metal. Could be why
Well organised and working safely.
Jesus!! That's some pure ore. Beautiful rust brown
I just located some natural iron ore in my area. In a year or two, I’ll do a smelt!!
very real. the hard part is working the bloom
Wspaniałe widowisko ! 4:44 pięknie tutaj wyszło :) sama magia
beautiful!!!!!!!❤
Not gonna lie, I got mallet envy watching this video. You should do a video on charcoal making though, such a huge part of the process. Do you roast the ore before smelting?
it depends, i roast bog ore. If i use sand size hematite n.
@@officinaferraria thanks for the reply and the video. That makes sense. Liked and subscribed.
Nice
From where did you buy the ore?
I didn't buy it, it was sent to me by the organizers of the Woodford furnace festival
Yea, this was awesome. Loved the dedicated concentration in the rythm.
Its dolly dress up time .
How much charcoal and ore do you use per average smelt?
charging ratio is 1:1, furnace of this size let to consume a max of 50 kg of ore, but may less.
Thank you for the reply!
Successful.
Great vdo! Deserves way more views and likes. Would love a narration of the action tho
No slag tapping? Intriguing.
This is reconstruction of the ancient slag pit furnace, slag tapping is not necessary, below the shaft is pit in the ground and there slag flow creating a slag block.
@@officinaferrariainteresting! I read that slag is less dense than iron though, so why is it the slag ends up in the pit, while the bloom sits on top?
@@Archris17 In this process temperature inside the furnace is less than iron melting point, iron bloom is solid. Slag is liquid and goes down to the pit. Iron bloom from in front of the blowing hole and ussualy stay there during process.
@@officinaferraria Ohh! So the iron is heated, but not quite melted, then you just hammer it into one mass! That's brilliant!
@@Archris17 yes, it is visible in the video. We extract the very hot but still solid bloom .
Could you just loop the girl working the bellows? For scientific reasons of course .
:-)
Seconded.
Im an iron ore geologist, love your channel and hope to imitate your works in the future.
Please re-edit this video to exclude the opening drone shot. It adds nothing to the video and is technologically anachronistic from what you're trying to illustrate.
And the girl on her mobile phone @ 3:15 😂
