They say the iron is molten, this is wrong as charcoal doesn't burn hot enough. Also there isn't enough pressure to get the charcoal to behave like coke (burned out coal). So it's nonesense they say it's molten. The only thing that melts are the impurities, but not the iron. Besides that it was a very enjoyable video.
a big bellows of 1840 style is so easy to make and is little effort to use.....a 6 foot bellows with lifting rope tied over a rafter.....too easy....even one a side.
