Why was the timer on the sponsored portion blurred this time?
...the intro doesn't use the script that u made... u got sick of it?
How To Make Everything tip if your going to try make skis again put animal skin under then you wont slide on the side or slip down form hills
No
It's not just about the tools you use but the tools that make the tools usable. With that said; MAKE A DAMN SHAVE HORSE! It's not that hard. You're flipping the wood around as you're trying to work it is driving me nuts.
so raid doesn't allow the ad countdown and requires you to fill your description and a pinned comment wit ad links?
I hope they at least pay well because screw those guys...
I think they pay like 10k for one video with 100k views
From what I heard, the moment you launch the game you are bombarded by microtransactions, all the way until you get fed up with the fact that it s just a card collecting "game" and delete it.
Dont forget that its a bad game full of its own ads
I’ve heard they pay a respectable years salary to the biggest channels
Not only that. They also spam the email Inbox with request for ads
It was so kind and thoughtful of your kitty to lend a paw with the steam-bending
Can't wait until you reach modern age and make a game better than Raid.
A monkey with a rock up his ass could make a better game lol
Or a steam powered car
Nice comment
Right lol no one even plays that game.
@@benjamin.kelleyif nobody played they wouldn't have money for advertising
Did Raid really make you censor the countsown to the end of the ad?
Basic rules of knives: never pull a knife towards you
Drawknives:
One of my friends was removing a quick fix/duck tape with a knife. I wasn't waching bc I was on my phone. After about a minute I looked up, he was trying to jam the knife under the tape as you do but he was pushing the knife toward his stomach and fingers.. I said about it to him. These were his words: "cmon mate I aint gonna stab mi self"
The tape ripped and he cut himself a inch long, down to the bone cut(middle finger).
To his defence, he's kind of a richkid and not very good with tools in general, I should not have assumed that he could use a knife properly. I'm just happy he aint ded
@@justasnowball lol
Tbh a lot of carpentry involves drawing sharp things towards you. Really the best rule of thumb is don't be stupid. That is, if you want to keep your thumb... don't be stupid.
That rule is for amateurs
@@mjw789234 yes
* Stabs self multiple times *
1:25 "sign up before february 9th."
March 13th
re used ad :/
No he hasn’t made a vid for a while he probably recorded that a long time ago and then posted
I love to see how these projects get faster and faster, not just for the tool upgrade but Andy's own skill after spending the amount of time he has gained
"Downhill" skiing is a 20th century invention. There was Telemark skiing which is a non-bound-heel style of steep slope skiing.
the ski is missing the metal edges on the side necessary for breaking down a slope, since those skis were meant solely for traversing snow and not going down steep slopes.
going downhill would be achieved either by sliding down on your butt (potentially with a butt-sled) or a proper full size sled if they were transporting one.
Every video I watch, I think "ok, this time he's going to learn his lesson and be better with wood selection. And every time...nope, still gnarly and knotty." His life would be so much easier with some straight grain.
AND PINE INSTEAD OF THE OAK AND MAPLE
He probably doesn't have much choice, he chops a lot of potentially expensive trees down for this series
Thank you. Now I don't have to type all of that out.
Edit: I don't know. . .maybe he's trying to go back for a "Dr. Steve Brule" vibe.
At least he made a draw knife; it's basically the predecessor tool of a planer, and God did he need one.
It doesn't help that he's just a flat out awful wood worker in general lmao
lol i love how they blurred the ad timer to keep us from skipping it
We skipped it anyway
@@sloppy1174 yup. it still says the numbers behind the blur so i just skipped anyway. i hate ads so Much. like i dont play phone games, i dont want to make raid any money
@@christopherconaway3549 there are also extensions you can install to skip ad that others have identified
Thank you Sponsorblock
@@lyra_tcm1953 ooh nice. ill look into that
I'm thrilled you finally made the drawknife!
The other guy made it, though. LOL
God me too. Doing planeing otherwise is a misery; he needed this.
You oughta try making Rex Krueger's Roman woodworking bench since it might make future projects a little easier. Your current bench seems to leave a bit to be desired in the areas of workholding and staying put.
He should also watch rex Kruger's video making the mallet (the basic one). His hammer isnt great for his chisels. A better mallet would likely translate to a lot better options,and rex's mallet is about as simple as a mallet I've seen
Ngl I was gonna suggest this
Andy, I feel like you'd benefit from a different kind of research.
You should maybe put aside 1 or 2 days, and watch intro to woodworking videos. Maybe learn on a couple modern tools to get some technique down, and then use your tools. For example, a draw knife can be an amazing shaping tool, but there is some technique and things that can make big difference (like work holding). If you try it with an off the shelf tool for a couple days and get a couple basic skills down, you might see great improvements. I find that often your tools look actually fairly decent, but that your just inexperienced with using that tool.
Well the goal is for an average person to make these items. Not someone professional.
@@NicCrimson The average man used to know how to use a variety of hand tools, and many women did as well. Also, carpentry is a craft.
@Adequate Bros.
The goal is to see if a regular guy can figure it out. It says it in the intro. Part of figuring it out is learning how to use the tools.
Example: andy didnt know how to make bronze. He went and read and learned how. The problem now is he doesnt know how to properly hold or use the tools he made. If hes allowed to research how to make things, hes allowed to researched how to use the things he makes.
By 'craft', I mean that to do the basics you only need to learn some techniques and needn't have artistic talent to get progressively useful results. Sewing is a craft, which is why I can do it (unlike dress design, where even if I learned the technique I'd still be 'lost').
@@NajwaLaylah but the goal is to see if a regular *modern* person can do these things, most people today have no clue how to use any of those tools or even a basic understanding of carpentry.
Your Cat was a great help.
Using sandstone to sand something is one of those retrospectively obvious things that hadn't crossed my mind for some reason.
There are extant illustration of medieval and even ancient woodworkers using what appears to be sandstone blocks to finish wood.
Your craftsmanship has vastly improved over time, I'm really impressed well done
You should look into the skiing style called "Telemark skiing". It's far better suited for the type of binding that allows you to lift your heel and for skis that don't have sharp edges, plus it looks really elegant and cool.
Its funny how Raid Made u remove the timer in the corner😂
One of these days, a startup DIY channel is going to contact Andy for advice on stuff, and he will be just standing there, all confused as to how he became the one to ask.
That is probably going to be a really long while off, but it might eventually happen.
I love your content.
You are making the world a better place.
Please keep doing what you are doing.
I will support financially when I'm able... not easy in Africa.
Me: How did he get alcohol??
Andy: Beer
bean beer ;P
I'm wondering how he chiseled those holes there thinner then his chisel?
@@savaiiheaven8143 he probably used his pump drill.
At some point you will need a grindstone to sharpen those tools .
11:30 “traditionally a TINE PAR is used to seal and waterproof things like skis” I can’t tell if it was intentional or not.
@@dan_the_dj That's the minnesota accent.
Should use a clay retort for dry distillation. Small batches but should work quite well.
This! I'm not a native speaker and have to go back in the video three times to check if I heard it right.
You should make another bow now that you have a draw knife. It makes the entire process so much easier.
HTME: Makes Pointy Skis
Me thinking what would happen if someone were to get stabbed in the head: Is it possible.....it is...
"They're not TOO horrible"
That's high praise
I think the consistency in thickness of your skis is really remarkable and impressive given your tool set. You could probably rig up some basic work securement systems just using wooden wedges that would increase your efficiency even more. Nice work Andy!
I always love seeing your signature axe. It is so unique in appearance and incredibly useful.
Please, please, please consider making some tool working benches. Consider what is called a roman bench... (which is way more ancient than rome) Also why not make a froe?
A fun fact fitting the series: Brewers from Israel were searching for antique jars with remains of beer in it to get the yeast the people used back then. They actually managed to isolate some yeast and now they are brewing and selling beer made with 5000 years old yeast.
Do they sale online
*Palestine
@@talhatariqyuluqatdis hell yea brother free palestine and destroy the illegitimate state of israel 💜
At 11:32 Andy said "Tine Par" instead of pine tar
Andy, you can definitely already use steam pressing to straighten out wood, though not the modern steam box. That might help if you want to revisit these one day.
She french fried when she should have pizza'd!
That was all I could think of. In my head i kept yelling "PIZZA, PIZZA!!!!!"
Aaaa the destroyed brain of a ski instructor
I like how the cat didn't waste any time playing with the string
This is the only channel im ok with having raid as a sponsor, they pay alot and i want this series to have funding to have a few million episodes
Love to see the precision increasing! Better tools help but definitely can see your skill improving too! Awesome video
If he keeps up this series, eventually he’ll be teaching us how to build spaceships.
1:26 “sign up before February 9th” well i would if i was a time traveller
11:32 Ah yes, good ole Tine Par.... just messing with you, amazing work here.
I've only ever been skiing twice and I'm no good at it but what I like about your videos is that I don't need to enjoy the topic of the video to enjoy the video.
I am waiting for the 4th century bce when waterwheels were all the rage, so you can make a hyrdopower sawmill / grain mill.
I am amazed at the creativity and work you put into your projects. Kudos.
On your ax, have you thought of either casting a bigger ax head, or in the least, adding a stone of some heft opposite the ax blade? The added mass will drive the ax further into the wood.
Good job man, been watching your content since the start, keep up the Good work! Great content ^^
Love these videos! You’ve come so far but still have a lot to do! Can’t wait to see how far this mastery of tools takes you!
16:34 dude shouts "imma giraffe"
Yes I always love this series
"Immersive experience," yeah autoplay sounds really immersive lmao
After seeing your videos I got inspired and made a pump drill from scratch. I made rope by twisting coconut fibres (shout out to Grant Thompson!! For his tutorial ), got some wood from backyard and for the drill bit I used the metal tip of a broken screw driver. It works!!
In the future, I planing to modify it to make fire. I love your videos!! Good luck!! Never stop your efforts!!
To get more maneuver capabilities, you need to sharpen the vertical edges on the bottom of the skis to get more side grip on the snow. Modern skis employ this technique as well.
Hes been infected with raidshadowlegends
Wow that actually looks great!
You need a tele skier to try them out, they're closer to teles than alpine skis
Drawknives are related to spokeshaves which apparently have existed since the stone age
16:35
"Im a giraffe"
OMG, he really said that XD
Lmao I heard that too. I wanted to see if anyone else noticed.
wow. skii turned out better than i thought
These are some of the best looking wooden things you have made tbh
Woah Epic backflip bro
You did those quite well. That's pretty much how prehistoric skis were. Finns often had one long ski for sliding and one short one for kicking. The short one often had leather sole. They usually had only one pole.
I’m a big skier and it’s pretty cool to see you make skies
Love this. They came out very well.
That is satisfying seeing the draw knife takeoff all the bark
I'ts quite fun to watch how ur carpentry skills grow. Good job with these.
these turned out surprisingly well
11:30 "So traditionally a TINE PAR is used to actually seal and waterproof things like skis"
This is a great series. I'd like to see you make your own snowshoes from scratch, like the ones the First Nations, Metis and early traders in North America were using. Cheers!
Man what a great craftmanship skill
Thanks for making these you all are awesome
100% should revisit this and do a comparison between these skis and a set if skis that are a bit more advanced. Great video, really cool!
That was excellent dude well done 👍
Hahahaha the ending was the best!
Great as always. Hopefully we get a dump of snow soon for you try them in something less icy
An alaia surfboard would be a fun one to make! and good reason to make a trip to Hawaii too. Just use the right wood, I made one from pine and it was a bit too heavy.
Love it man!
after creating some instruments, you should have the soundtrack of an episode be entirely made from the sounds they make
Peening the edge of the draw knife like you would for a bronze sword would help with the sharpness.
Your premise is flawed, you’re no longer an average person. Your curiosity, tenacity and intelligence set all of you above most people
I enjoy your content greatly.
You actually became quite a good craftsman
This warms my Norwegian viking heart.
This is your best outcome yet
Can't piss on this dude's determination
I wish you had much more views bro, your channel is really underrated.
I love the green screen part at the end of the video ❤️
11:31 “tine par” haha.
11:31 "Tine Par" 😂
I am amazed that, with the wood you used ( box elder) that they turned out as well as they did.
Ski's origin is from Scandinavia or mostly Norway. It was a transport method used by the Sami to get from A to B, for example to the reindeer cattle. It may not have been made in Scandinavia, but deffiniently where those who used it the most and developed it into what it is today.
Did he really say "a layer of tine par will seal the skis"?
Indeed he did...
Slowly introducing his new language into everyday conversation. Gotta get it to catch on.
I think he meant pine tar
nice bit of boxelder you found to make them skiis.
you're getting pretty good at shaping green wood also. nice build.
Awesome ski
That greenscreen segment just earned you a sub^^
every other youtuber: lets plant trees.
Andy: which tree should I cut next
Sick montage
bro, you gotta invent the clamp or somethin cause watching ya cut and shave wood while also holdin the wood is gonna get ya cut super hard.
maybe he should invent gut stitches and peroxide before using a draw knife .
Having knicked a tendon in my index finger with a drawknife while holding the log I was trying to de bark I can attest to the danger. Back when I was a teenager and foolish.
In this episode he discovered blood, so...
Your the best love your videos 😊😊😊😊😊
Found you through wendover production. Love the concept of the channel. You've earned a regular veiwer.
In the year 2090 andy is going to be like
Hey everyone, we are going to be making a super hydrophobic thermally stable levitating car.
In an actual (re-building) civilization, having "ski paths" like there are in cross country ski trails would help massively for movement speed over longer distances, shorter distances could be done with snowshoes instead.
But first.... RAID SHADOW LEGENDS!!!
