I don't know why I am getting so much critisism for this project. It was just an interesting item I was commisioned to make. I am not endorsing their use but they are a tool in daily use by the borehole company and clearly work for them .When they collected the 5 rods they loved them and have orderd 20 more.
They're utter hogwash. There's literally zero science to it whatsoever. That said, if they want them, and you can make them, you'd be an idiot NOT to make them.
Well its obvious.. usually practical logical people who watch this type of content are a bit allergic to divine bulshitism. Then again some even believe in god... we are doomed anyway
When I had my well drilled, one quote included dowsing. Another driller told me to pick a spot, you're living over an aquifer. So i used the second guy. Hit 3 aquifers at 100, 185 and 300 ft. Same hole 3 aquifers, great water and saved the cost of dowsing. I don’t think dowsing is legit, my thoughs anyway.
People believe in stranger things and organise their lives around them, like what politicians say, for example. My feeling is that some people develop an inate feeling for the landforms and vegetation patterns that indicate the presence of water, and the rods just provide a focus for their subconscious reaction. I've seen diviners working, and they certainly believe in their skill. I've also seen people who just look at the landscape, take note of the geology landforms and vegetation, and say drill there with similar results.
Great skill and relaxed execution, the hat is down for that part. The object of craftsmanship handled in a most professional way, the hat is down again sir. 🍻
I find it so silly that some people have unsubscribed because of this video. The guy is just making something. He is not saying it is magic. It's just a project. I detect some narcissistic personality disorders with the unsubscribers. 😁
My dad learned to dowse, I think from his grandad sometime in the 1920's, around the potteries. Dad said it worked for him and I learned a long time ago not to argue with my mum or dad, both of whom are gone now. Whether it works or not that was an interesting project. Your steady rest with interchangeable bushings and how you worked the copper wire coils was a lesson I can use. Thanks for sharing.
I personally have little faith in the Water Divining Rods. I went looking through the content wondering if anyone pointed out the cut off piece that fell down the side and see some folks are a little more... verbose in their feelings on this stuff. You were asked by a friend if you could make something and you obviously have the skills. I appreciated your ability to fabricate this item and sharing it with us. Your commentary and description suggest you are probably at least a bit skeptical of their function as well.
When you come right down to it, none of our opinions on whether they work matters in the slightest. Maybe even the opinion of the borehole guys that use them doesn't matter. What matters is that someone has an (I presume) successful borehole business, and part of their toolbox is these things. Do they work? Who cares. Does the borehole guy get results, that's what matters.
@@lwilton "Do they work? Who cares. Does the borehole guy get results, that's what matters." It's a very short leap from "as long as he drills up water" to "as long as the patient feels better". Dowsing rods don't do anything, that's not an opinion, it's fact. It's been tested over and over; as soon as you test dowsing in a controlled environment they are as good as random guesses. I *DO NOT QUESTION* the ability of the driller to find water, but any geologist can tell you where you are likely to find water, so if anything he uses the rod as a way to get confirmation from his subconsious that he's in the right spot. Impostor-syndrome; he thinks he can't tell where the water is, but his dowsing rod can, evne though obviously he is in full control of that rod. And don't forget that some customers simply *want* him to use a dowsing rod because they believe in it themselves.
@@vinny142 When you come right down to it, it is theater al fresco. If you go to a theater to see a movie or stage performance you pay, right? You are paying the actors and crew for their time entertaining you. Ok, dowsing is done in the open rather than indoors, but why shouldn't you pay for an entertaining performance?
What is the principle that makes these rods detect water? I have seen it done, and get the impression that magnetic or electric fields are involved, generated by flowing water, and inducing current in the rods. A form of Eddie current reaction, generated by water current motion.

If a friend of myfordboy was to ask if he could make him a metal cross . Or maybe a intricate Star of David ornament on his milling machine. Would anyone worry about that. Or maybe a friend might ask him if he could cast a copper bracelet to help word off arthritis . I would not think twice of watching something like that being fabricated in his workshop. It seems that some guys on here have a very small mind set. All I can say about those guys is good riddance and bugger off.
The video showed how a part was made not that I believe in witchcraft or magic. The rods clearly work for the borehole company that use them as part of their daily search for water. It seems to be a gift, you have it or not I don't. When the rods were collected I asked if they could detect where my water was. They had no idea before but found it in minutes.
I have been dowsing wells for over 10 years with only two pieces of number 4 bare copper wire the kind you see on the side of power poles bent on one end for a handle hold. It also depends on the person, some rods curve out when they find an underground stream of water, and some turn in. The guy who owned the drilling company used this technique for over 50 years so yes in my opinion it does work. We have never missed water yet. Underground water puts off a magnetic field and this is what attracts the copper rods. This is my story and it works.

In a first world country, in the 21st century, people are using dowsing rods?

Excellent machining skills as always! The traveling steady is quite the piece of kit!
dont forget to powder them with some magic dust
Nice job! I haven't seen a Y rod in years. I gotta try this.
You can make them out of chopsticks for all it matter since dowsing rods are as real as santa.
Santa's not real??? 🥺
Yeah, I thought this video was a joke or something...
What are you saying about Santa?

Dowsing works, only because most places if you dig enough you'll find groundwater.
do you make magic wands? i am trying to source phoenix feathers

Is it April 1st.
Could you make a divining rod with flint.
I have not seen those.
if a different copper alloy is used can the rods detect oil or gas ?? perhaps

Dowsing is non sense but the rods are nicely made .
hey pls
Those rods aren't broken, they just need to be re-ionized by soaking them in polywater overnight.
Polyester?
Poly being the Greek work for many, so many water? The bell are you smoking man.
You are forgetting the critical step of having them blessed by a water priestess.
Seriously?

That certainly is a bit different! Nice job though 👍👍👍
I don't know why you are getting criticism for simply fulfilling an engineering order. As for do they work? That has nothing to do with this video.

You don't need fancy rods like that, two bits of fence wire will do the same thing.

It's not a witchcraft, it's simple physics and is not about believing, but it is about learning the science
Like MMGW :D
That's "seance" not "science".
It works, I have used ones just using one eighth of an inch brazing rod bent to resemble a capital L.
