I "travel" back to Ancient Mesopotamia to cast and craft a bronze blade built for royalty! This dagger meant for a King was furnaced in a clay draft kiln, molded from beeswax and finally casted from bronze! I modeled this cast off of research and images I found from the ancient Mesopotamian city of Ur and what their royalty was often buried with.

Make bronze tongs so you can get metals out without spilling
let me see that tongs

@@shaedaxx3989 thats pretty ゴゴゴ
even wooden ones would be better than using two sticks
More like a funnel, to aim and pour the motels metal.
For April fools you should domesticate cats, but it’s just a video of your kitty wandering around sniffing things
underrated comment
I would watch that video.
Nah. I'd be more accurate if he showed it wondering outside and indiscriminately murdering several small species of wildlife into extinction and not even at least eating the remains before returning home to whine at its "owner" for a bowl of food and water.
@@custos3249 yeah i hope he does this
@@custos3249 My exact thought lol. Cats have never fully been domesticated. They still have active wild parts to their brains
HTME, 2022: In this video, I will be using my refined silicone casting and my work on resistors to create an HTME robot. The robot will be taking over my position on this channel bye lol

He is one of the clumsiest guys i have ever seen and it is so inspiering seeing him achive all he has done. he is amazing !

When did that happen like what episode is it and what is it called
@@jessedierksheide I don't remember since it was years ago but likely one of his old thanksgiving episodes?
Primtive tech must scoff at those furnaces xD
The biggest mistake that you're making is pouring it from so high, u pour really close so that it doesnt splatter, i have seen blacksmiths pouring into casts with the crucible very close to the opening while pouring
kinda hard to pour it close when you have a shattered quarter of a chunky rock of a crucible holding 10ml of chunky half-solid bronze, held with two long sticks
@@rolls_8798 u dint need two sticks, u can make a looop in the crucible and use it to harbour the sticks for better grip
They probability need to do this to hide the fact that they used a modern crucible which they heated in a modern kiln, because their attempts failed to often and they wanted to make some progress.
Seff2 if he failed like 30 times then I’d say fair game just to further the series
@@samanthaweber2195 absolutely. They just should be honest with that.
Annalise has been such a great edition to the team, been loving the new direction you guys are taking things! Know it's a way off but I can't wait to see builds like sail boats and iron smithing
11:55 there is no way you poured that from that melt.
I can't believe nobody else has said this. There was clearly significant time and effort between the shot of him pulling it out of the fire and him pouring it.
@@devinfritchey7323 If he poured it as soon as he took it out of the fire he could have probably been able to pour something out. Also not nearly enough in there to cast a full dagger.
I thought so too, i tend not to be this cynical but it seemed to me like they cut to a pour from a modern backup kiln. That bronze looked cherry red by the time they got ready to pour it and then it cut to a close up shot where you couldnt see anything but the mold with bright yellow bronze being cast.
oh and also clay appeared around the rim all of a sudden.
I think so too,
I tried melting copper and making bronze at my home, the primitive way, it is really hard, did not accomplish it yet, needed more height and thermal insulation...
Judging by those experiences and this suspicious few jump cuts, I think they probably faked it :S
Had the same thought. The metal is falling in such a thin and organized flow, I'm not sure if that would be possible using the cracked crucible.
Can’t wait until you make a spaceship and go meet the aliens who built the pyramids
Humans built it 😬
Yesssss
@@SF-li9kh The joke ------------>

welcome back to HTMYAME
how to make your assistant make everything!
Annaliese is probably your most important asset. She really seems to know what shes doing.
Great Outcome !
11:58 _"Hey lets take this broken crucible with solidified bronze, then cut to us pouring pre-made molten bronze. They'll be none the wiser... 👌"_
I hade the same suspicion
Two things, not only could he have just redone it, but that "broken crucible with solidified bronze," wasn't solidified, it's called slag, which can either be made up of imperfections in the original metal, oxidation that's formed over the top upon exposure to air, or a mixture of the two. As a matter of fact, more than likely it was all that charcoal that he accidentally poured into the crucible. Underneath was still molten.
@@impishspectre5805 There is little to no fully melted bronze in that crucible, I can tell. There certainly isn't enough to get a pour like what we see after the jump cut. And if they had redone they would have shown it being redone.
BUT it's fine. Melting bronze not using modern methods is technically challenging and they had a deadline to meet. Honestly it'd probably take them 6 months of trying over and over to get a successful pour.
Cast: *too hot to touch*
Andy: S N O W
Nice cut away just before pouring the booze from “your crucible” lol
Can't wait for future tech. HTME: light sabers. Btw, annalise is a keeper.
Someone help me out here. Are they cousins? In the Canoe video, She seemed very comfortable with Andy's brother's family.
No light sabers were invented before. A long long time ago
Steve Emoji in a galaxy far, far, away
S F I don't think they related.
Is it just me, or have NordVPN sponsored videos *increased* since it came out that they lied about getting hacked?
In the people I follow, it's actually the opposite. HTME is the first guy in a month to have NordVPN sponsorship after the hack on my end.
Guess that just mean that the ones you follow _might_ have less care/knowledge about the situation. I'd like to know who they are though, for reference purposes.
@@TheRibbonRed Practical Engineering got a lot of flak over it the day after it came out, The King Of Random mentioned something similar to what HTME has in this video.
Could just be that I notice more now.
@@ClokworkGremlin well, considering it was a very critical mistake for a company that touts privacy as their selling point, we can't help ourselves but to notice more.
Thanks for the info btw. I tend to heavily scrutinize the people I follow, so that I don't see mistakes like this often.
I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this series of videos. These are really fantastic!
Where are you from that they say Dayger instead of Dagger?
Minnesota!
dooooooont knooooo
Minnesota
I'm really glad to see these more precise casting methods! The improving craftsmanship is really appreciated, Annalise especially!
This makes me appreciate the channel Primitive Technology so much more.
Joke's on you, guys. He was trolling.
He actually made a nightger.
I’m dead 😂💀
@@jonturbett87 RIP, John. *holds hat over heart and bows head*
Another one bites the dust.
Hey I’m gonna get you too
I thought a bell was an odd choice of test object....but that was a brilliant transition :)
When I saw that they were going to cast, I knew that the crucible was going to break.
If you use the furnace again I would seal the cracks in the furnace with clay and sand mixture
Edit: forgot to mention why to seal the cracks the cracks can make weak points in the furnace and make it collapse under it's own weight.
Fun fact Andy you can actually refine your smelting and casting of bronze by listening to the mr Nicky song Euphrates River while it happens
Scientifically proven!
@2:27 My sister own's your cat's doppelganger. It's uncanny how much they look alike. Practically identical.
HTME is like an IRL Dr. Stone and I love it. They’re both such great shows! Y’all do such a great job
"Episode" 952: Making a nuclear bomb from scratch.
There was a kid that wrote it for his school work and the FBI got involved lmao

Happy thanksgiving from Scotland
This series is so good. I can’t wait to see Iron Age content.
That's gunna be some good stuff
I can’t wait to see the industrial revolution so that they can have some machines to take some of the workload!
i cant wait to see them do a real primitive bronze cast, they faked that one in the vid
I was very impressed when it came out so complete!
Flaring out the top of the draft furnace above where the charcoal sits and adding as many holes in the bottom as necessary to match the cross sectional area of the part with charcoal will make a the furnace be able to oxidize a lot more fuel at a time, as well as a covering the top with a holed cover
I love this video series! Hopefully we’ll get you all the way to the modern era 😂 it’d be amazing to see you build transistors from scratch !
Nice dagger well done. I admire you perseverance, when the crucible cracked I would have quit as I thought all the bronze had been lost in the kiln. But when you poured that dagger you surprised me! Again well done!
Bounced on my boys Nord VPN to this on Thanksgiving.
This was another great episode. Your camera work with the slow motion, time lapse, and cuts to nature are really nice. Great job - I love how HTME is the Mythbusters scientific method meets the History Channel topics!
This series is everything I've ever wanted in TH-cam
Love the series! You guys are doing awesome! Please keep it up. Honestly I would even say y’all should do longer videos or more in depth parts but that’s just me
Should rename it to "How To Get Annelise To Make Everything"
Bribe her with a coca cola.
Ikr
When you next time make a furnace, make the pipe (I really did already forget the name, sorry) coming at an angle so that the air coming in cause a tornado effect inside and will allow it to become even hotter
The pipe is called a tuyere.
@@KainYusanagi thanks
you dont know what a tuyere actually is but you are qualified to tell them how to do it? dont see the logic here. "Hey, I have no idea what I'm actually talking about, but here's a suggestion acting like I know exactly what I'm talking about." Sheesh man
@@thepjup4507 my comment was only a suggestion and was actually hoping for someone like you to inform me of the correct term.
So I do need to thank you for telling me
@@idemanddonuts sorry, im an asshole and im working on it.
10:57 If someone in the past did what you did, their hand would become thanksgiving dinner.
Happy to help with the research, Andy. Glad it worked out.
Fantastic build! Your journey through the history of making is fascinating to me and my family. Keep up the great work.
Keep inspiring, HTME!
That last scene of him dropping the dagger... it sounded surprisingly heavy!
For Thanksgiving I am thankful for awesome channels like this one. Keep up the good work guys!
5:00 this whole segment was really enjoyable to watch.
I think you should definitly watch Primitive Technology channel. That guy made this stuff long ago. Especially the mud and kiln stuff.
He also did it 10000000x better
One of my favorite channels on TH-cam. Good work guys
Yet another fine episode to the collection!
I love your videos man. Nobody does anything similiar ! Keep going!
I've watched this every day since youve posted it, I'm so hyped for the next episode
I hope you will have an amazing thanksgiving HTME!
At this pace hes gonna overtake us and start making rockets.
Thank you for your wisdom Bob Ross
Nobody burns my pretty trees, that's how you ruin my happy little clouds
This series is mind-blowing...........
Imagining how our common household materials and making it is very interesting task but hard as well.........
Great salute to HTME for thier work.
The work is really fascinating as it use tools which they have build by their hand........
Happy Thanksgiving to all the people from the usa
Hello from Israel
Love Israel I lived there for 3 years
Where? @@gpepeitan3373
Thank you!
Zrubavella Portermacher hello from the USA
You to
I love this series so much, well done.
This is amazing, truly. I love the direction you've taken, and I'm looking forward to seeing your skills, and the quality of your work, continue to develop.
Great job 👍
Why haven’t you made tongs to crab the cruicable yet
I'm so happy you did the reset the channel flows much better now
I'm surprised that worked the first time. You're getting a lot better at what you do
very fun series
The extra effort is really shining, good job guys.
Hey HTME crew, love the videos. They're my new favorite thing. Would it be possible to make a playlist of your post-reset videos so they are easier to find and watch in order? It will also help new viewers find your videos.
Happy thanksgiving Mr Dr stone!!!
OK this is getting more and more impressive every video.
happy thanks giving
The work this team puts in to this series is absolutely astonishing. I'm commenting to help with the algorithm. Also liked and hit the bell.
Good job you keep educating me!
you have to bake the clay mold in a fire to get out the last bit of water in it so it doesn't expand rapidly when you poor in the metal, which is how the cracks form and eventually how it shatters
I cant wait to see you make a bronze saw and other bronze tools
*Andy fails to make smoething pre historic and ruins his whole day.*
Everyone: laughs in uga booga
love your videos. congratulations for the dagger. It is a big achievement to make it from scratch. I am looking forward to see what comes next.
Love you guys. Good luck in 2020
The dagger looks nice. Cool video
Cant wait till you guys make steel. Amazing series.
Hai Andy :D
In case you didn't knew, I am Boid from DDLP. I feel so honored to be included in your video, even as a glance.
Amazing video. I thoroughly enjoy watching all your videos and I'm always looking forward to seeing them.
This series is awesome!
this is all really cool to watch because i used to play a lot of terra firma craft (a mod that makes minecraft a lot more relistic) and its so cool to see a lot of the things i learned on terra firma craft are real! :D
Loving your channel
Happy Thanksgiving Andy and Annalise! Hope you enjoying the snow we got here (twin City Area) on Tuesday night lol. Be cool if you used the snow to make traditional maple syrup candies.
Nobody wants to talk about the fishy edit between the slag filled crucible shot followed by a stream of metal coming from "somewhere".
Andy has come a long way to make a dagger that actually looks like a dagger lol. I still remember him trying to make stuff that turns out not to be the intended thing.
I very much enjoy watching this journey through time! the videos are always made very well, and are full of interesting facts and knowledge!
can't wait to see u making CNCs
very nice im loving it
Nice work!!
Im amazed at how far your craftsmanship evolved. Try having your draw pipe stick out of the kiln a few inches it will increase the air draw.
You need to be more active on the comments section brother. Boost the morale. Keep the fans happy.
That's a hardwork. I appreciate it HTME..
outstanding video, as always. reminds me of the great old PBS shows
*everything catches on fire*
HTME: *makes mew humanity from scratch video*
His sink: No, no NO! NOT AGAIN! PLEASE!
A pretty important invention would be making slaked lime so you can make stuff like concrete, whitewash, plaster, etc
I really enjoy your channel and look forward to your videos. They are well constructed but show the mistakes. Very honest
