Awesome craftsmanship. They do what they can, with what they have. These pots look great. This is true talent, not an expensive machine where the robots do it all. You appreciate things more when it comes from the sweat of your brow. Than you for sharing the video.
I'm guessing that these guys do not have education and are mostly self-thought. These guys are extremely talented. The finished product is better than most DIY casting channels here on youtube. The molds they are making are complicated and very well done. They have no regards for safety, but most of the world doesn't (you learn this by traveling). People who comment negatively and with criticism comes from countries where safety is prioritized. We sit on our computers and comment on videos like it means something, while the people in the video work and live their lives in a whole other way. Love watching videos like these, and hate reading so many judgemental ignorant comments.
This got me glued. I never knew this is the process of out locally made pots. Amazing craftmanship displayed. Thank you for showing us the process. it makes one appreciate them more moving on.
Ah ! Aluminum ! When it came out first out from the chemistry labs, it was not very cheap : it had been estimated the price of gold ! Thus, it was used in jewelry, as one can see it in the "Musée des Arts et Métiers", in Paris, (though it wasn't very bright :). But Napoleon III promoted its use and the research around, 'til hydro-electricity in the Alps began, along with the mines of bauxite, named from the name of Les-Baux-de-Provence, Vaucluse, France. Since the discovery of its alloys (Alpax -tiens ! tiens ! and Duralumin...) it has begun one of the most useful metals of all times. I still own and use a pan I inherited from one of my grandmothers : it has 100 years (the pan; my grandma is dead a long time ago), and it works great. What's amazing is the way nigerian and other african people recycle it. I love it.
Sand casting is still in use. Cool video. I learned sand casting in 7th grade Shop Class with Mr. Burger at Reszel junior high. We take everything for granted in the West these days. Someone else makes all of our stuff.
As an engineer it is always interesting to see how people with nothing can be resourceful to create something that can be used. While some of the things that were done in the video would be totally unacceptable in the modern world I have to applaud their ingenuity and resourcefulness at trying to make something out of nothing.
lol talking about exploitation, pretending that was the reason that it is undeveloped and not the genetic low iq and total lack of foresight. Which btw is taking over the european nations as we still just give and give and give to africa,. exploitation lmoa what about the 1600 years that africa was taking slaves from Europe and the invading of the south of Europe?. the barbarian wars come to mind, which was the only reason why colonization happened (which was very costly btw) it was a attempt to stop the violent uprisings and invasions that have been walking in to our countries today subsidized. you are welcome
Very cool and resourceful process. Aluminum for cooking is a bad idea especially when they get bondo out. However, they could use this process to make any parts they need for non-cooking uses.
Great casting work with little of the fancy foundry methods we have here in the western world. Easy to forget that very impressive broze casting was done in Africa centuries ago. The art has not been lost.
First of all, the majority of Nigerians stopped using these pots decades ago. Now, they are mostly used in the villages, and people in some of these places are quite stubborn and conservative so warnings about health and safety tend to fall on deaf ears. Yes, this is primitive technology, but it doesn't represent the state of technology in Nigeria or Africa at the moment. This method was probably even taught to Nigerians by the foreigners who came first, because I don't think aluminum is one the metals that were commonly used by our ancestors. I think the makers of the documentary did us an injustice by not adding a narrator to explain where, when and why these pots are produced this way and where exactly they are used, because they have only created a situation where foreigners who know very little about us are arguing about what we have and don't have based on limited knowledge they had before and the very limited scope provided by this video. A lot of very good points were made in these comments. We know the harm and we have moved on. Some people insist on using these pots because of sentimental attachments passed down by parents, most of whom knew nothing of the science. Because of real economic and political challenges posed mainly by the selfish and corrupt leaders we have, there are lots of unnecessary practices that persist. These men with their crude knowledge, could be trained to work in the factories where these kinds of work are done properly, but the powers that be don't care about that. Technology is not our problem in Africa, its the people.
We short d documentry in 2017 at shaki, oyo state nigeria, my brother thus pot is distributed to nearly all states b u t mostly dont us by elite, according the workers d process was originated from ghana when their father traveled to ghana in 80s
+Baseone Oruye Ancient Africans used aluminum that they created with their giant hydro-electric stations which were common there until the white man came and tore them all down for no reason other than hatred and greed. Damn that white man...
Muy buena iniciativa ... No es muy recomendable para la salud en utensilios de cocina ... Pero para refacciones de motos y automotrices 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾sería espectacular ❤️👍🏾
Hard work, creativity, dedication. Not all are criminals/scammers. Amazing to watch though I've seen it done live. Permanent moulds would help though, make life easier. Less aluminium too.
Makes me think of all the things I take for granted at the same I'm amazed by there works utilizing what little material they have to produce something that's gonna serve as tool of rescue to feed ppl. That's some serious work right there. Wonderful.
I like it. The did not allow the left over to turn solid. They just spooned it back into the sauces pan. That way they don't run out of aluminum. Other allow the extra to turn hard and salvage it later. But here they have a large collection of projects go at onces, an all of them are use the same aluminum. This way you use less heating material's an you waste less. Here they melt it for a reason, not just to show off the fact that you can melt it, but to supply the growing demand for what is needed. In the United States they do it just to reduce the aluminum cans they generated over the weekend. They have projects in mine, but it's down the road so they melt it just to stockpile it. Thank You Loader. WOW! That was some workload. You outdo them all.
Absolutely brilliant skills - now I understand why nobody in Nigeria parks their car unattended if it has aluminium wheels! This is recycling at its best - I'm sure that they use all kinds of aluminium; but , one car wheel equals thousands of sheets of foil etc. This is real commerce - fantastic operation and ingenuity in a hard country.
And I haggled over a set of these pots recently the dealer refused my offer, after watching this video I kinda feel bad about it, its worth all the work put into making this, jollof rice never tasted better in one of these😊😊
@liga Да пол беды что охраны безопасности нет. Вторая половина беды в том что дюралька с дисков не пищевая, а казанчики для еды делают. Хз что там будет со здоровьем.
Nigerians have lots of money, I just got an e-mail saying they want to give me 40 million! All I have to do is send them $350 for the paperwork... good deal ;)
I´m so glad for them, many Int. Orgs should found people laike them in order to provide tools and machinery, they only need to be known by the world public , let´s help and share
Adena Properties They put a Battery into the Aluminium, probably as a flux, fixed defects with epoxy and painted these defects with silver paint.. basicly, they are killing there People....
hm . . . The living circumstances are not saying anything of the IQ. Such a simple comment can only come from the US where they only speak one language.
That's a hole filling job for J-B Weld. All kidding aside they do lots with little. I have 30 years of aluminum foundry experience and yes we still have defects. No need for kick off boots and safety spats when you are not wearing anything. Would not want to hear the screams if the mold let go on his foot.
They don't know it but they're living in a free market paradise! No safety regulations, no OSHA, no FDA, nothing. Nigeria must be the greatest place on earth!
Aluminum is lighter than clay ceramic, heats up and cools down faster than clay ceramic, can be repaired more easily than clay ceramic, and can be melted and turned into new pots while clay can only be made into ceramic once. If your nation is not post-industrial, economics will always win.
i see a bunch of clueless comments here. aluminum is extracted from clay - aluminum pots are safe as long as you don't ingest too much of it. Aluminum ends-up in the body by it being scratched from the walls by the cooking process and such combining with the food, but that's the same risk for clay pots or soda cans millions of people use every day - so rely not much of a risk since is also absorbed badly by the digestive system. What is bad in this video is that they used lead to patch that hole, and lead oxide which appears naturally and especially when heated is super toxic. On top of that the lead patch will actually melt on the first cooking session making that pot unusable. And this lead patching happens a lot since is hard to make perfect castings in such an organic process. This is why they patch, since remelting and starting all over again takes so much work and time.
Very cool casting video. I especially like the kid turning the wheel for the blower on the furnace. For all of the comments about aluminum poisoning and such, calm down...aluminum poisoning is probably the least of their concerns and by the time it would have any significant effect on their health, they will probably die of something else.
is a nice work , also is need loot of time to learn how to use that red earth . I am impressed how they work ... for evryone who dont know .. only for that pot is need like 1-2 hours of work ..
When we see them come into Europe on the back of a lorry and they say they are 15 yrs old but look 30, I can now believe it looking at their childhood.
I find it slightly offensive the way these people who are lucky enough to reside in first world countries and have the luxury to have everything made for them without having to lift a finger feel justified in commenting on the methods people who are living on $.50 a day utilize in order to stay alive. The last thing these people are worried about is the minor possibility that they may suffer from some type of aluminum poisoning from a pot, they have far bigger issues to deal with. If they had a choice, of course these people would take the proper precautions, but they don't have access to modern manufacturing they don't know about the subtle dangers involved in the methods they're using. These people aren't even wearing shoes, they're barely scraping by.
Valid point. I am a privileged white american and I didn't think bad of these people making the pots. They are making the best of their situation given what is available. They are quite skilled and practiced at what they are doing! Maybe things would be better if Americans and other white countries weren't stealing all of their resources while conspiring with the local officials (bribes, etc). Same thing happened when europeans colonized and took resources and (worked with local officials) to buy people into Slavery.
EvilKris they put bondo epoxy in the holes and painted over it with silver paint!! Please. They may be poor but nobody is that lacking in information to not know that is poison.
Exelente video . Me gustaría saber q pintura utilizan y como se llama esa mezcla q le echan para tapar los huecos q quedaron . Si es tan amable de responden saludos desde Venezuela
Patternmaker for 30 years here in the USA...wow doing this barefooted in shorts is dangerous as hell...the least amount of moisture in these molds and it explodes like a bomb blowing molten metal everywhere.. I would also add if they can read these post they should add risers coming off their molds to stop the short pours and holes. Secondly Dowells would be a simple addition to help with lining up the cope and drag halves of the molds. Simple shift buttons can be laid on one half then rammed up and removed making a female button hole in the drag half then ram up the cope letting the sand make the male half thereby having location line up buttons to keep the halves inline and from shifting during the pour. These pots would not be fit to eat from due to contaminates.
It started out great, but then to see epoxy car body filler used inside and out to hide defects, then a coat of silver paint to hide the repairs is shockingly bad. You are killing your own people with those utensils, shame on you. Plus I am sure that was an old alkaline battery dropped into the molten aluminium, possibly used as a cheap flux. There could be all sorts of toxic elements like cadmium going into that alloy now, again, shame on you.
Keith Martell you should be shame. Such a poor economy they do not have cheap alternatives. Why not you open a NGO in Nigeria. Just to feel you proud not shame
They are poisoning their own people and making money from doing it. You need to read a book young man, and learn that it is wrong to both poison your own kind and profit from doing so. And learn some chemistry too before getting all SJW on me.
Good point, there is no telling what is in the castings, and aluminum does cause problems for health. People say it's harmless, like a soda can, but soda cans are coated to prevent the contents from contacting the "Food". I only use glass now, nothing else is safe for foods. It would be better to make high fired pottery, at least they would have a trade and something healthy to use for cooking. Save the aluminum for casting motorcycle parts, and tools, but don't eat off it.
Keith Martell just like how our own government is poisoning us right? with chemtrails, poisoning the water, giving ppl poison through their so called vaccines, poisoning the food, nearly everything we use, the death rate in our own countries from cancer etc is higher than those you complain about in nigeria.
ALL THE JUDGING...poor people need to eat too. bro they have nothing else but to melt cans down to make a living .. what are you doing to help them? wait criticizing thats all.
Starfireaw11 its all about $$ if they can only make 50 a day and 15 have defects they arent going to allow over 25% of the days work be put on hold so they will just hide it and hope its not noticed
They can't afford it..They can't scrap these defected utensils..If they do so..I think they won't be able to feed their family.. Their economical condition is not good bro...
The technique they use is good - but they need a modern furnance , reusable whater cooled cast-forms made of CNC machined copper instead of 1 way oilsand , electricity a generator and food grade aluminium or electrolysis to chrome line it so it is not poisonous and grinding/polishing workers to clean it as well as Eye and skin protection and resperators/gas masks for the workers - then it would be a actually good buisness so just change everything
in that country the social structure is sustained by extreme poverty, when its customs, beliefs and geopolitical structure evolve Africa could be a great country with chromed smelters.
Молодцы! Автоматизированное литейное производство. Самое экономически выгодное! Даже брак идёт первым сортом т.е. бехотходное производство с использованием нанотехнологий.
I enjoyed it until i saw the bad patch up job towards the end. Being poor is one thing but cutting corners is just bad workmanship. Yeah not all castings are 100% successful but at least remelt the ones that fail and start again.
Awesome craftsmanship. They do what they can, with what they have. These pots look great. This is true talent, not an expensive machine where the robots do it all. You appreciate things more when it comes from the sweat of your brow. Than you for sharing the video.

these guys do great work with very primitive tools, They are very hard working men, cheers to them.
I do not know if I should be impressed by their craftsmanship or depressed at what little they have to work with.
most countries subjected to extreme poverty do not have structured security measures and much less work plans.
You should be impressed by how much they can achieve with so little.
It looked light years cleaner than Pakistan foundries
Great Job! I commend your hard work. When I visit Nigeria, I will look for one of those pots and purchase it. I love locally made products.
Why ? Do you like to eat silver paint ?

EvilKris they put bondo epoxy in the holes and painted over it with silver paint!! Please. They may be poor but nobody is that lacking in information to not know that is poison.
Whao u are right, thsts the idea
Why are YOU offended? Are you in one of the people in the video?
yep that's me coming in at 13:48 and running past the car.
Exelente video . Me gustaría saber q pintura utilizan y como se llama esa mezcla q le echan para tapar los huecos q quedaron . Si es tan amable de responden saludos desde Venezuela
great video great idea
Patternmaker for 30 years here in the USA...wow doing this barefooted in shorts is dangerous as hell...the least amount of moisture in these molds and it explodes like a bomb blowing molten metal everywhere.. I would also add if they can read these post they should add risers coming off their molds to stop the short pours and holes. Secondly Dowells would be a simple addition to help with lining up the cope and drag halves of the molds. Simple shift buttons can be laid on one half then rammed up and removed making a female button hole in the drag half then ram up the cope letting the sand make the male half thereby having location line up buttons to keep the halves inline and from shifting during the pour. These pots would not be fit to eat from due to contaminates.
Very surprised they don't have any vent sprues, I'm surprised they don't get a faceful of molten alloy
It started out great, but then to see epoxy car body filler used inside and out to hide defects, then a coat of silver paint to hide the repairs is shockingly bad. You are killing your own people with those utensils, shame on you.
Plus I am sure that was an old alkaline battery dropped into the molten aluminium, possibly used as a cheap flux. There could be all sorts of toxic elements like cadmium going into that alloy now, again, shame on you.
Keith Martell you should be shame. Such a poor economy they do not have cheap alternatives. Why not you open a NGO in Nigeria. Just to feel you proud not shame
They are poisoning their own people and making money from doing it. You need to read a book young man, and learn that it is wrong to both poison your own kind and profit from doing so. And learn some chemistry too before getting all SJW on me.
Good point, there is no telling what is in the castings, and aluminum does cause problems for health. People say it's harmless, like a soda can, but soda cans are coated to prevent the contents from contacting the "Food". I only use glass now, nothing else is safe for foods. It would be better to make high fired pottery, at least they would have a trade and something healthy to use for cooking. Save the aluminum for casting motorcycle parts, and tools, but don't eat off it.
Keith Martell just like how our own government is poisoning us right? with chemtrails, poisoning the water, giving ppl poison through their so called vaccines, poisoning the food, nearly everything we use, the death rate in our own countries from cancer etc is higher than those you complain about in nigeria.
ALL THE JUDGING...poor people need to eat too. bro they have nothing else but to melt cans down to make a living .. what are you doing to help them? wait criticizing thats all.
Bravo, très très bien, une grande expérience de la fonte.
Thanks for watching,
Good work, Nigerian fellows, wish the peace and wealth can be constructed by African people's own hands and being proud of that.
Why would you ever repair a defective cast at a foundry? Just melt it back in and recast it.
Starfireaw11 its all about $$ if they can only make 50 a day and 15 have defects they arent going to allow over 25% of the days work be put on hold so they will just hide it and hope its not noticed
They can't afford it..They can't scrap these defected utensils..If they do so..I think they won't be able to feed their family.. Their economical condition is not good bro...
How are they even forming them
Because you are a crooked sob.
when I get the word to go there and pick up my 500 gazillion dollars US I think I'll pick up a few of those pots😎
Thank you very very mutch your this work better than sleep
wow dear
good work
Дерипаска, первые шаги Русала 😂
куда люминь понес нигга мазафака?
The technique they use is good - but they need a modern furnance , reusable whater cooled cast-forms made of CNC machined copper instead of 1 way oilsand , electricity a generator and food grade aluminium or electrolysis to chrome line it so it is not poisonous and grinding/polishing workers to clean it as well as Eye and skin protection and resperators/gas masks for the workers - then it would be a actually good buisness
so just change everything
hahahha
You should buy all that stuff and mail it to them.
+Joe Public i would if they worked for it
in that country the social structure is sustained by extreme poverty, when its customs, beliefs and geopolitical structure evolve Africa could be a great country with chromed smelters.
Don't forget OSHA REQUIRED steel toed boots
Really good hand made
Молодцы! Автоматизированное литейное производство. Самое экономически выгодное! Даже брак идёт первым сортом т.е. бехотходное производство с использованием нанотехнологий.
What did they use to cook missionaries in before they had mag wheels?
I enjoyed it until i saw the bad patch up job towards the end.
Being poor is one thing but cutting corners is just bad workmanship. Yeah not all castings are 100% successful but at least remelt the ones that fail and start again.
💯
Europe needs millions of these hard working blokes
Getting to europe from nigeria is now more difficult
thank god for that!
Woowww... Super👍
they do everything to survive Poverty....
Are they "Food grade" :D
не удивительна их продолжительность жизни
А сколько они живут в среднем?
ماشاءالله، الله يبارك فيكم
My dad use to do this same way when he made sinkers for fishing. He never lived overseas. I think it was something that came naturally for him.
