How To Make Everything
Hey Andy, I want to make a note about length units. The cubit you used can be useful for short lengths, but can be a pain to use for long distances.
To combat that, I recommend measuring in paces. We use it quite often in making route maps.
First, draw a line with a set distance, say 100 cubits, on the ground. Next, pace out how many steps you need to get from one end of the line to the other. Repeat this step two or three times, and average the amount.
Why are you not yet using sandstone as an abrasive to sand your wood into nice smooth pieces?
You should make a bow drill
Andy: Asks the Internet what part of human anatomy should be the standard unit of length.
Me: I too like to live dangerously.
My 1st thought was distance between the eyes.
Just use the handspan for the right hand from the tip of the middle finger to the curve formed at the meeting point of the wrist and the base of the thumb.
Obviously the lengh of a hair. Duh.
Haha because length of penis hahaha

"Stories from my ancestors reveal the Egyptians mostly used plumb bobs made of rocks and strings - which they (my ancestors) enjoyed immensely." - A. Cat
Good one
I wonder how many ancient Egyptians pulled string out of a cats asshole.
why does this feel like a Douglas Adams quote
あなたは本物の猫 かる？
it's actually spelled plumbob, all one word
You know, I avoided your videos when they were first recommended to me because I assumed they would be gimmicky hacks. Not so. Really been loving your series for the last months. Kinda nervous you're gonna hit on a particular project I've been working on for the last year before I'm able to finish it up.
I love the internet

@@daebak7370 wtf are you on about get help
I worked on the construction of the UK's 2 new aircraft carriers and find it interesting that I saw tradesmen still using the chalk and string method of getting a straight line, even on these thoroughly modern machines. Not for everything but I saw it a few times
I have a group of friends who are thoroughly convinced that the Egyptians were super technologically advanced and/or alien-assisted. Just cause they could carve rock precisely.🙄
Very frustrating to argue with.
Yea most conspiracy theories sound as stupid as they are
oh it still happens even to this day in construction. I worked at a hardware store for years, and we had a whole section of construction chalk that contractors would come in to buy by the bucket along with lengths of nylon twine for fast and easy straight lines of any length they needed
I worked with some carpenters and the chalk line is easy and cheep
Chalk lines can be used for straight lines the length of your arm, or the length of a building, and they fit nicely into a tool belt. I(a warehouse guy) work in a shop with builders, and one of the things that I say to distinguish what I can be asked to do vs what a builder should be doing is, If it can be done with a Square I'll do it, if it requires a Chalk Line then a builder should be doing it.
Basically a square is limited to distances of about 3'-4'
I love these vids but it would be really cool if the team could post their research sources in the description. I would love to read more on the ancient techs without having to comb through waves of inaccurate information
edit: Sorry this isn't meant as an attack on the team, I really do love what they are doing here! It's just the reality of the internet that misinformed or outdated information is floating around and, in some cases, made more readily available to the average google searcher. By providing links to the the research they are using to base their video content on they would be enabling this community or other enthusiastic viewers to delve further into these topics on a more informed and academic basis. In my opinion, I think it is important to know where the information we collect is coming from and how credible it is. 2020 should be the year of critical thinking on the internet

In this episode: Andy does everything to stem the tide of “Annalise does everything” comments
well you gotta get free labor out of interns somehow otherwise you basically arent even american.
She's an intern and is there to work with him. He gives the intern busy work like any other employer
Intern or not, she _is_ there to help. And the thing he needed the most help with is the time consuming grunt work when he's got so much else to do and plan as well. I just hope she gets paid something worthy of her effort in some way hahah
I never read the comments concerning this, but have commented to my wife how much of the work she does. I think it's great. If the roles were reversed no one would bat an eye. She's a hard worker who has proven her value to the team. This would be a fun job.
@@jerrywhidby. I agree, it's not like she does everything, Andy used to do ever lick of work, he deserves a break. She's also gotten a great internship at a fun job.
7:36 the Egyptians definitely knew about a whole series of sides guaranteed to make a right triangle, starting at 3:4:5, and used them in their architecture. It is fairly strongly implied they knew the complete Pythagorean theorem, which was known far before the Pythagoreans in Ancient Greece at the very latest.
3:4:5 teoreme was known already by Ptolomy in the first century atleast what we know...Pytagoras theoreme is a special case of Ptalomos theorem just,
(Ptaalomos) Aa+Bb=Cc (no angle needs to be 90 deg), the basis is a square divided into four triangles where ABC and abc is opposide sides
(Pytagoras 500 years later) A^2+B^2=C^2 , He just found a way to simplify it if one angle was 90 degees(or pi/2 a quatrter of a circle where the Radius of the axes could vary)
Ptalomos way is a square inscrebed in a circle wheere all four corners are on the Radius...but every side can be of a different length...and thus all angels can be different.. (its a cute trick to use when 3:4:5 doesent work)
...And yes it was probably known long b4 Ptalomos
...we know for sure ppl known for atleast 5K years hpow to draw perpendiculars, so straigt corners wouldnt have been a problem...thay also used levelers based on water
Pythagoreans theorem was known to he true for certain right triangles. Pythagoras simply proved it for ALL right triangles.
...right? agreed. ...and yet, with all of their knowledge of earth, space, frequency and sacred geometry, we are supposed to believe that they still weren't smart enough to have been using something other than the tools that "Encino man" would have used? Lol! The sense that doesn't make, is staggering! Lol! Sik
Jesus Christ, it's as if nobody had ever written a book.
Got to say loving this series so far though one suggestion I have is it might be worth each episode having either you or Annalise take something you have already "invented" and use the skills and knowledge you have gotten so far to build a more refined version of it still using the old tech. I feel this will help a lot especially as you get to building things like squares (Hint the reason they were so good is they built a bad one first and then used that to build a better one and so on until they got pretty good). Plus I feel this will allow both you and Annalise to share the episode without it feeling too much like one person is doing all the work. Not to mention the more refined tools are going to save a lot of time in the future which means faster episodes and less time rebuilding/repairing tools.
I agree. In this video you could really see how much his casting skills have improved (except for the saw)
this is exactly what they did with axes.
@@buzkie314159 He needs to work on actual forging for all of his tools. Even if the saw had worked out, it wouldn't have been work hardened and wouldn't have worked like a modern one would. He'll be better off starting out casting an ingot and hammering it into shape for most of his tools.
I just watched the Amish build a few things, generally eyeballing whatever they cut and touched, as well as using a chalk line. It's incredible what can be done with human ingenuity and copious amounts of experience.
Have watched every video since the reset. This channel never fails to peak my intrest.
oh, absolutely. i kind of ignored a lot of them pre-reset, but now i check the channel way too often to see when the next video arrives.

@@absentpal the word must come from south states like France.
@@absentpal welp I'm dumb and Andy is just north mid west accent
I was really excited by the chalk line. It's fairly specialized tool that I have trouble imagining being absent on a modern construction site.
It really seemed like a huge leap forward.
Yeah me too. I always thought it was a modern invention.
You might cut down some trees now, so that when you're making more wooden tools in a year you have a supply of wood that isn't still green.
or he could find dead ones :/ Or buy them
Zbionix / Caleb H. He can’t really buy them and dead ones would be dry rotting so they would be very brittle, unfortunately cutting down trees is the only way to get wood whilst still abiding by his rules
@@burritoboy1012 stealing or picking up the waste of logger is also available. l am lazy so i often do that.
It’s green if ya plant two in place of the one cut
@C-Bomb if you are waiting for them to naturally fall down, why wouldn't you to just cut them down anyway since they're falling down either way?

This is my favourite video so far! As a builder, seeing the original versions of the tools I use every day was so interesting! Been an avid fan of this format since the reset, and so excited for the future of this channel!

See doctor stone
its possible. look at doctor stone XD
I feel like a pottery wheel and lathe are gonna be needed.
and a file. and i was laughing at that "saw". more like a serrated knife. he could have made an actual saw, he just would have had to hammer out a proper saw plate. bronze files existed, but his first iron should really go to a file, so he can file the teeth on a bronze saw.
@@Taygetea honestly the more I see him use the tools, the more I start to get it. It takes more time but a lot of these aren't awful
"I've got it! Look around. Can you find something to form some sort of rudimentary lathe?"
He said in a previous video that wheels haven't been invented yet. He is getting close though
@@Deadlyish wheels maybe didn't but circles certainly did
He made a Plumbob? Huh, always wondered how you made those. Everyone has one
Goldilox - Ah, wondered how long it would take the Rick and Morty fandom to invade this series.
I thought it was a Sims reference.
@@flyingninjafish1558 It's not my fault he made the references
The moment I heard plumbob in the video I jumped down to the comments expecting that someone was likely to have made reference. I was not disappointed.

5:32 - "We haven't invented the screw yet"
3:17 - Using a wooden box with screws
It may not be as accurate as modern tools for those pretty damn impressive
I am also certain practice was a factor. The guys most likely using these ancient tools were probably well paid and extremely well trained.
I am carpenter and I am using both chalkstring and marking gauge a lot.
A laser leveling tool produces a laser line about the same width as the chalk string line.

Next up Andy builds an actual pyramid with hundreds of thousands of volunteers!
You skipped the most important tool! The Egyptians used what are called surface plates nowadays. They made them by grinding three big stones together to make flat surfaces.
You grind A against B, then you grind C against A and B until they are as flat as possible.
Yup thats what I was thinking. Make the flat plate then use it as a grinding stone for the edges of his square/level. I believe they also did something with circular sights over a distance ( looking for concentricity) to check levelness too.
It is the basement of all the techs.
Seeing the A-shaped angle measuring setup reminded me of what we had at our farm. When carpenters were needed, they had some tools of their own. But what we had was just one folding "carpenter's scale". As needed, we would make that A-shaped frame so that the points were desired length apart. Normally the distance was a fixed 2 meters apart. Then we could handily swing the frame repeatedly 180 degrees around and measure reasonably longer distances along a road or the size of some lot. When a temporary plumb was needed, a small stone sufficed for the weight. And of course, for brick laying a string pulled straight was a horizontal reference. For longer distance horizontal settings the hired craftsmen came with a rubber hose with both ends equipped with maybe 20 cm long glass tubes. The whole thing was nearly filled with water and both ends were raised or lowered until the water level matched a reference height and then the other end established a new remote reference height. For storage between uses, both ends were plugged with natural cork or maybe rubber stoppers.
Just one thought about the saw: Are you sure it has to be cast in it's final state?
Maybe just cast a green body and then 'forge' the details like the saws theeths.
I'm under the impression that a small bit of more detail in your tools would get the projects a long way afterwards. As your 'civilisatoric progression' relies on tools being more and more 'professionalised' and thus capable.
Bronze can't be forged easily. That's why iron was superior to bronze although bronze is actually harder. (Another factor is that iron is much more common than copper and tin)
Eventually, he tried to "machine" his knife into a saw, which would be a good solution if he had a file or similar.
@@AEON.They didn't magically appear, there might still be some mysteries on the construction but that is like saying Aliens invented our electric understanding because there is still some mysteries. That happened recently enough to have plenty documentation. In 4000 years there will probably be some significant mysteries on how we developed such refined electrical knowledge and engineering but we know it wasn't aliens.
@@AEON. The Hoover dam is bigger and more massive than any pyramid and much more advanced, if that's not enough the Three Gorges Dam is even bigger, if that's not enough for you then you are simply dishonest. The Pyramids while impressive are also incredibly simple structures as they are just big piles of rock and we build far more advanced things constantly these days. Hell if you want to see a bigger pile of rock just go look at the piles of coal and ore you can find outside of power plants and iron works. Nothing about the construction of the Pyramids is a mystery and these days we basically know all the details of how they were built, it's certainly impressive but far from impossible and far from difficult. And these days we are on the regular building way bigger structures anyways, hell just take a look at any modern container ship, they're way bigger than the pyramids and have to endure way tougher conditions.
Your videos are the type that should be used in schools and colleges. They're that good in my opinion.

One thing you also don't acknowledge a lot is that the dudes who make this are craftsmen who had lifetimes to do it right, whereas you are just a dude who has all their knowledge but not the lifetime of cultivated skills.
Throughout the video, you may have noticed that his Egyptian God is keeping a close eye on this work. Even after 6k years, they gotta make sure we humans don’t mess up 🐱
RubiksFaQ I’m fairly certain Bast would not be happy that Andy and Annalise put the cat on a boat and put it on a lake.
Crazy. Construction workers still use the chalk and string method today. I remember my dad using it on job sites.
Real life Dr.stone in action 😍
Love your videos. It's great to see your manufacturing skills improving. Historically using abrasive was a big thing as cutting tools weren't that accurate. Maybe you could look at different stones, sand and other abrasives solution to improve the accuracy of your builts.
Your videos are like perfect timing cause in my social studies class we are learning about Egypt and you posted this
Such a cool video!! Crazy how accurate you got the tools
I have a LOT of respect for you for undertaking precision measuring. A huge component of technological progress has been using one set of precision instruments to make a more precise set- that how screws and such were possible!
As far as measuring units, how about using the length or width (whichever is most uniform) of eight kernels of some type of grain? Your base unit of measure ("korn") is all of them together, and you can rearrange the individual units along your 1-korn stick to average out the length of your subsections. This gives you 8 "thmanykorns", 4 "arbekorns", and 2 "athnakorns". You can of course add korns together into "bikorns", "quadrakorns", "oktokorns", etc.
Also, you might try going with fired ceramic split molds instead of lost-wax cob. Not only are they reusable, you can get the molds themselves rocket hot so that the metal doesn't solidify before filling the mold.
Use Dobby as a standard of measurement.
About 2 1/2- 3 feet
Yes
@@jamesmoreland7569 So, two and a half socks.
Dobby would like that.
The fact that you got close to where you can’t see it without referencing the marks to an actual perfect right angle means that you succeeded. I’d be proud of myself if I achieved what you have. Keep going man, you’re doing great 👍
You have wood, sand, glue and wax, please make a "sandpaper", for sharpen your tools

Water would make a good level
It's suspected that, that is how the got the bases of most pyramids so level
@@emmitunderwood9502 yeah that's almost definitely how they leveled the base. That's about the only thing at that time that could be used to make a level surface of that size.
Water not level over long distances tho.
@@daybot9592 so you think the Pyramids are big enough that you have to account for the curvature of the planet? Lol... it's not even close so yes, the water level would be perfectly level for the base of a Pyramid. If the water is stationary and not naturally running in a current down a decline, then it has no choice but to be level. That is how physics and gravity works.
So they had long transparent tubes?
16:50 Those are some happy little clouds you've got there! =D
your standard unit of measurement is a cat's tail
OP: Makes a tool that helps you make straight lines and such.
Also OP: Uses a curved wooden stick as their standard unit of length.
Your measurements method should be based on the dimensions of earth. I suggest you take the distance from the north pole to the equator and sepperate by 10000 to get one unit. If you want larger sizes you can put a adverb in front of the unit every time it gets 10 times larger. Also I suggest you use a size of 0,1 units by 0,1 units to use as a measurement for liquid. For weight you should make one unit of water and have that be the weight of one unit of weight. For temperature the freezing point of water should be 0 and the boiling point of water should be 100. You can make up any name you want for these units but I suggest u use this method. It makes a lot of sense because everyone's earth has the same size. But foots or ears can have different sizes
No clickbait, fair, skipable ad, nice content.
Thank you for playing by the rules.
I feel like if you want to use your own standard of measurement, you should use “hand” instead of “foot” lmao
i don't walk on my hands, it would make pacing a distance rather acrobatic.
The hand WAS a standard unit of measure, it was about 4"(the width of the palm). It is still used today as the standard unit of measure for the height of a horse
As a brick layer i can tell you we still use chalk lines and plum bobs today
“The three I measured turned out pretty good” hahaha measure twice cut once

bro, I totally came here convinced you were gonna nail it but you went overboard!
you could have just stopped at the string, that's literally all they needed.
take a string and half it until you end up with 12 even divisions and mark them: now divide into 3 segments, each of 3,4,5 respectively.
now you have a right angle and do not need a days work like you showed in the video (for which I am nonetheless grateful).
"you haven seen perfect level yet morty"
I heard years ago that ancient people’s used to level large areas that were originally uneven by flooding the whole area. Then they drove equal length poles into the water and ground until they were all flush with the water surface. Then they would drain the area and let it dry out. After that they would dig the excess dirt out until they reached the bottoms of each pole when they connected all these spots by digging out the dirt, they had a nice even surface to work with. I hope all that made sense. Pretty fascinating. Y’all have a great weekend!

Yet at 3:18 you can clearly see screws holding your mold box together 🤔
You saw NOTHING
You should explore making a wood plane next, which will allow you to make straight edges and surfaces in wood. Probably alongside this technology are a whole slew of items in metalworking (scraping, lapping, grinding, polishing, etc) that will allow you to make metal parts that are flat and straight.
uh oh this guy about to prove conspiracys wrong in that human innovation and progression actually made these pyramids, and that modern education is trying to deviate our self thinking.
If one realizes the fact that pyramids took much much more than 20 years to build, I guess more people would believe it.
Everything else, the granite, the stones, movement etc can all be done with TIME
S F How do you work/crave granite blocks with bronze then? Is there enough time one your side for that one?
I'm not advocating theories or conspiracies, but how does one cut out 120 ton pieces with these? Saw should be several meters long and made of copper....
@@Jehuty66 copper is weak, why on earth would they use copper, "The ancient Egyptians knew, and used, gold, copper, silver, iron, lead and tin, and the alloys, bronze, brass, electron and solder"
you're thinking on the aspect of that you have probably never done construction and thinking in a modern mentality, things back then didn't get done quick and 1 person didn't do most things, it was all a collective community.(for the pyramids im not so sure)
media likes to deviate and pretend people back then ate poo and couldn't even coherently speak when that is not the case.
plausibly they used iron or brass, and there is talks to suggest they possibly made alloy metals if zinc was found or used.
if solder was even a simplified version back then, then it seems to suggest they were fully well more advanced than we make on.
we also know the Egyptians have/had used crane like devices and rope pulley mechanisms which helps dissipate weight so technically it wasnt all just wooden hammers and using slaves as we apparently know it.
@@Dockhead Well what they used then? Not any of those mentioned is strong enough for the job... And im only talking about those huuuuuge frigging stones that they carved out straight from earth.

your base for measurement should be one ten-millionth of the distance from north pole the equator
the only stable way is the first way he reminded, comparing and adjusting for several times.
Ten-thousanth would be better. For a ten millionth you could put the Latin word for 100, centi in front of it to indicate it's 100 times smaler
@@tootpic2259 Don't care it because he is not a indo-european speaker.
Nah, that sounds like an absolutely garbage and arbitrary measurement that has no excuse to actually catch on.
Here thanks to Dr. Miano from World of Antiquity! 👋🏼🙂 A minute in, and I knew I'd enjoy it here. 😊
It's fascinating that it seems we have them to thank for the ubiquitous chalk line that's in most tool boxes of anyone who cuts something larger than a 2×8! 😄 I still have the first metal one I bought 3 decades ago, though the string, itself, has been changed about 4 times (yeah, it worked hard for 2½ decades, while I was a semi trailer mechanic). 😊

“Wow, this shape has four points all the same that get you back to the first point when you go around, exactly! and it’s the same no matter which direction I look at it from! This must be a miracle of the divine...”

Making an battleship and declaring an war!
I really love how you guys edit plenty of time to how you make the meany things; something TV editing fails endlessly.
Idea: distance between eyes as a standard length, as it tends to be the same for most humans.

Bro that intro destroyed my brain
As soon as the ruler slid it was game over
I'm still waiting for the iron age.
Well one third of civlisation is in the bronze age so It will be a while.
Yeah, just wait until he can make a proper file, clickspring style.
Absolutely! Leverage is the most important aspect of building large structures with heavy materials sans machinery!!!❤
This is probably the most impressive thing you made after the reset, and I'm including copper tools.
Agree, it was honestly inspiring how well everything went
That intro is just peak comedy to me. Doesn’t get any funnier than that
You should definitely watch the anime” Dr. Stone “
Nobody should watch the anime "dr stone"
porteal . Why do you think so?🤔
Alien theorists say that ancient humans couldn’t have built the pyramids by themselves/without help but Andy just prove them wrong!
LOL!
I dont believe aliens did it but he didnt cut granite with bronze tools either sooo.
You can’t just call the ancient Egyptians tools!
I think it would be more accourate if you would have filed it a bit. They had some soft of files, not iron . But maybe glueing sand on papyrus for sandpaper (then on wood) or using rough stones. I mean look at remaining furniture from their graves, those are smooth and good made
measurement basis: light femtosecond alternatively hydrogen wavelength or even hydrogen diameter * 2^32
It might take him a few more episodes to get to measuring the speed of light. ;)
Great attempt! Looking forward to you making planes, drawknives and spokeshaves, then you'll be set for woodworking! Measure twice, cut once.
The Pythagorean theorem is older than Pythagoras, its documented in Mesopotamia by 2000 BC, and in Egypt around the same time in the Berlin Papyrus 6619 (I wish we had an actual name for the document). So its possible that the pyramid builders could have used it.
But still a great video. Keep up the good work.
It's nice to see how much better y'all are getting at actually making things than when you first started.
They made the pyramids almost perfectly level by digging a ditch all the way around the base and filling it with water. Water was used to get things level in a lot of different ways .. I enjoyed this video.

Going along with pottery, you might want to have a clay trap in the drain, because when it inevitably plugs it will be expensive to remove.
I never get tired of watching bronze casting :-)
You should do everything you can to make a perfect cube out of bronze and then use that as the basis for your measurements of volume, weight, and length.
Or, if you wish to go the anatomical route a handspan is probably a good measurement of length.
Your unit of length should be based on the diameter of the human eye, it’s remarkably constant between people (within millimeters) and the Egyptians did love picking bodies apart, so they probably could’ve gotten eyes easily
You are genius.
Hello - Atomic torches were used to cut blocks of stone for the Pyramids and Sphinx. A cold melt meant that no heat was generated to that the object of place could be used immediately. The metal seat the back of the machine would hold the operator while the atomic torches could emit the laser rays from nozzles along the front, bottom and sides. In this way a whole hutment or hangarage could be excavated in the space of a few hours. It left no dust or dirt residue at all. The levitation principle involves an anti-magnetic device which is dangerous to the untrained as one can float right out of the world, in other words, fall upwards. The control involves two grids, one tuned to the magnetism of the Earth. When the grids are in a certain position, the machine plates will float; they will not go up or down. But if one pushes a lever which alters the relationship of the grids to each other, then in one direction the Earth magnetism becomes the stronger, and so the machine plates sink down to the Earth. But if we want to rise up, then we push the lever the other way to that the anti-magnetism takes effect and the Earth repels instead of attracts. In this way we can rise up into the air. One operator could lift up these hundred-ton blocks and place them in position without exerting himself. Then, when the block was in the precise position required, the magnetic current would be switched off and the block would be locked into position by the natural gravitational pull of the Earth. The alien technology was actually brought from the planet Tasch in the Tenth Solar System of this Twelfth Universe by the Hyiptian Rah-Sham-Het and developed further by the power of THOUGHT by the Solar Hierarchy, the Twelve Sons of GOD headed by Archagel Michael (who had His Temple under the Sphinx, His head being the semblance) in Ellhonia, Drunhia, the capital of Egypt in those remote times, 3,5 million years ago. This is how the Pyramids were built, utilising the potency inherent in the solar amethyst of which they were erected. They were intended as Temples of Worship and Training Colleges for the Initiates into the Advanced Degrees of the Mysteries. Thank you.
