There’s a channel called Primitive Technology on YouTube that follows a man around the Far North of Queensland, Australia. The man never identifies himself, but he has constantly been building and creating thing with nothing but his hands and the stuff he finds around him.
In a recent video, the man, often called “Prim,” came across a method of creating iron. It came after he created a furnace out of clay.
“My intent was not so much to make iron,” he says from his blog, “but to show that the furnace can reach a fairly high temperature using this blower. A taller furnace called a bloomery was generally used in ancient times to produce usable quantities of iron and consumed more charcoal, ore and labour.”
It is absolutely amazing to see him create a method of iron extraction out of nothing but the basics.
Watch how he does it, here:
