to shed some light on what's actually happening, wood is essentially just fiber held together by glue, wood fibre of course, and the glue is called lignin, a natural polymer. by heating wood up in an oxygen deprived environment you essentially melt the glue and it flows into the jar below, leaving the fiber.

@@RAMUNI-Viking Thank you for taking the time to answer. Much appreciated. I too would like to make them, at some point. Until then, I wanted to find a good place to purchase a few. Thanks again.
Pine resin glue is aweseom. and i think more easy to make and use than pitch glue. I have videos on both. Im happy you liked the video. thanks for watching.
@@RAMUNI-Viking that's how I make pine pitch...mix it with charcoal and some dried rabbit poop, or finely crushed hay or dried grass...makes it more flexible
🎩Hi, I tried making a glue from pine resin, beeswax and charcoal. It worked sort of but became very brittle when hard. Not so good for hafting a bronze axe.
Thank you for sharing this. I have heard that adding animal fat Will make it more flexible. I am looking forward to having a go at pine resin glue at some point:)
I know this one late ass comment but I hope you have tried using a little animal grease to give it a little pliablilty but not to much grease or itll be to pliable like playdough itll remove a little stickyness the more u add. But also prevents it from becoming to brittle. Kinda gotta find a sweet spot in the middle somewhere between stickyness and hardness.
Thank you for sharing this. You Are right. Its a sweet spot to find. In my latest video i made resin glue. Made 5 batches before it was perfect. All the best
@@RAMUNI-Viking Much love. I hope all the best for you aswell. Yeah I guess it depends to what you want to use it for. Hard but it is really quick fun. Anyways, ciao.
Wow that's a very involved process, but very good to know, and very worth it should one need glue and not have it. an excellent video as always and also, great Viking dance! :)
This is a fantastic video. This is a project I am looking to do myself and your video has helped me figure out a few details before I made mistakes. By any chance do you know of a historical reference for this process? Thanks for sharing.
Great to hear. I cant encourage you enough to get started:) i dont know of many Sources specific. But it is known that tar was important for ship building and proof of tar is evident around the viking age. I remember 1 find of left over tar residue in the bottom of clay pot remains with sod on the other side indicating tar production. But the production was probably done at a much lager scale. Like its still done somewhere in Norway today.
To get from bark to tar around 2 Hours of burning time. Maybe 30 min to prep the kiln. And then additional 2 Hours of slowly reducing the tar and adding charcoal to turn it into the Pitch glue. All together almost 5 hours
Du hast den Kleber nur mit Wasser runter bekommen bei meinen Fingern und dem Baumharz klappte das nicht alles klebte an mir😂 liebe Grüße Christina aus Österreich
Hello Susan. Thats really embarassing. I have not noticed that mistake untill now. It is birch not pine. Total brainfart here. I will get the title changed. Thank you for pointing it out. all the best
I try not to. It might sound worse in the video as I had to enhance the sounds artificially as a group of Kids shower up half ways in and had picnic nearby. Thanks for watching
i think thats hard to say. The scandinavian society was very equal in those times. But tar production was most likely done is very large heaps at a time where carefully controlled burning for several days. thanks for watching:)
You videos are so interesting and so visually pleasing. I love the sounds and the colors and the textures.
Thank you Wyo:)
Great video, absolutely in line with my own interests.
Thank you. Im happy it caught your interest:)

Very nice and informative video. Was fun to watch as always. Keep it up and see you soon 👍🏻 Ragnar
Thank you Ragnar:) see you

Great video. Lovely music also , from Scotland.

excellent - thank you
Your channel is superb. Always. Great cinematography, sound, editing, and skills. Takk fyrir.
Thank you so much:) i really enjoy your videos as well
@@RAMUNI-Viking I had a quick question. Do you make your clay pots or do you have a source for them?
@@HilrogHrafnBushcraftViking i dont make Them... Yet... But the Guy helmut studer Who made them assured me they Are All 3 from Haithabu. I havent checked my books yet

awesome video and project
I have tried making glue from pine resin and coals but never tried pitch glue
Now I need to go out a try it :D

Very nicely done tutorial! Thank you
Thank you very much. You Are most welcome:)
Amazing video and work. Thank you for sharing all this
thank you:) you are most welcome
It’s really nice when you go out in nature ,eat some shrooms and go Viking
Its always nice to go out in Nature:) thanks for Watching Emil
I make pine pitch glue with charcoal and crushed dry moss
Thats very interesting. The moss for strengh like straw with clay in a clay oven?
@@RAMUNI-Viking that's how I make pine pitch...mix it with charcoal and some dried rabbit poop, or finely crushed hay or dried grass...makes it more flexible
Neanderthals usued to add some bee wax to make birch tar glue more flexible
Rabbit or deer poop and charcoal

@@RAMUNI-Viking try adding some wool or other fiberous matirial , it should help form a composist structure that will be more durable
Wow that's a very involved process, but very good to know, and very worth it should one need glue and not have it. an excellent video as always
and also, great Viking dance! :)
Thank you for the comment. There is a lot of waiting involved so dancing is a good way to spend some of the time:)
I'd rather spend the time drinking whiskey
Not a bad idea:)
@@RAMUNI-Viking well I I’d just do both at the same time then😆
Thank you very much dear friend for the video It seems that I have a lot to learn from you - By the way you are dancing wonderful Skal for happiness 🍺
Again you Are most welcome:) TH-cam is great for learning. I would be very satisfied if People can also learn from my videos

Great video, how long did it take you all together to make the tar from start to finish
To get from bark to tar around 2 Hours of burning time. Maybe 30 min to prep the kiln. And then additional 2 Hours of slowly reducing the tar and adding charcoal to turn it into the Pitch glue. All together almost 5 hours
Super lækker video! Elsker det rolige tempo det foregår i.
For så at snakke om noget helt andet; hvornår udgiver du dit album på Hurdy Gurdy? 😁
Tak Mads. Der lander noget mere musik i takt med at jeg bliver mere fortrolig med den. Indtil videre er det mest den der bestemmer:)
Du hast den Kleber nur mit Wasser runter bekommen bei meinen Fingern und dem Baumharz klappte das nicht alles klebte an mir😂 liebe Grüße Christina aus Österreich
I only got a but of it off. But it helps to scrub with sand and grass etc. I also used a bit of alkohol so i could operate the camera after:)
i clicked on it to watch. 666 views. Lol.
If you like viking. Age of the north bushcrafting is cool. Lukas is from finland.
Thanls for watching:) i will check him out:)
The title says pine tar. The instructions say birch strips. Which is it - pine or birch?

@@RAMUNI-Viking Not a problem! But so interesting!
Yes it is a fascinating process:)
O quit your birching. LOL

Looks like women's work. The men would have been viking or working the fields.

дёготь,для таких вещей не пригоден))). Зато руки после ремонта, дня три воняли)))))
It worked fine for me. I guess its All about getting right consistency. But pine resin glue might be better. Thanks for watching
