      Thank you, I enjoy watching Primitive Technology too. My previous video was under 1000 views for the first 5 months, then suddenly did very well. It seems to depend on TH-cam's algorithm showing it to the right people.

    The part I found most interesting is that coating of graphite powder. That is something I've played around with for dry lubrication and seen it stain all sorts of things, but I would never have thought to use it to finish a project and give it such a beautiful grey mirrored finish. It looks amazing! I wonder what other materials that will work with... I'm thinking for use in prop making mostly, faking a metallic finish can be pretty challenging so I'll have to keep this in mind and give it a try sometime.

    Hey!
    I'm impressed by the graphite finishing on those parts! But I was wondering, how can you "fix" the graphite into/onto the paint? Does it mixes itself with the paint , or does it just stick to it?
    And also, does it hold well in time without any varnish or another protective layer?
    Thanks a lot!

      1mm has good balance between flexibility, weld-ability and cost. 2mm didn't inflate as much and is double the cost, and thinner metal would be harder to weld and weaker.
