    Works for a week, gets fully covered in coal, gets 5 grams of iron.

    I love this guy. He constantly reminds us we live in a privileged era.

    Pros: no fanning/bellowing
    Cons: needs a stool to reach the chimney

    …this channel is a treat. He made a natural draft furnace 6y ago, and with this one the improvements are visible - addressing short-circuit drafts, stronger airflow due to parallel tuyeres, and apparently far more yield. (Back then he got no iron from the slag around the tuyere.)

    On other similar channels they make one video demonstrating how the iron is obtained and in the next video they have enough material to build an axe and a knife and in the third one they’re making a railroad.
