You pressed the natural woods on the end grain, a way that would never be used in blocking for any kind of rigging. Press it on the cross grain and give those results.
I was going to mention this so thank you. Wood can be incredibly strong. I've seen a block of wood hold up an 80,000 lbs trailer albeit on the corner of the trailer but still had barely any indentation.

The grain direction you placed the stress under is kind of unfair to the hardwoods over the HDF. Yes er know hdf can be strong but if you placed it the other way it wouldn't last a fraction of what it did. Hardwoods are way better than any hdf/mdf
Not exactly. The direction of the wood grain was fine. The HDF dindn't break until 12t because it has multidirectional structure. Wodd doesn't so it splits sooner. But that doesn't change the fact, that ironwood hold 5t almost without any change of shape, ant the HDF was compressed almost 40% at 5t. That shows how hardwoods behave at where their strength is.
Wood grain is strongest in compression parallel to the grain, so it was tested at it's highest strength. HDF doesn't really have "grain" structure, but it is less strong along the laminations. They were tested fairly as far as I can tell..
The HDF also had the layers in between that kept the material from just splaying out immediately. A block of sand with a few layers of mesh inside it can hold up a car vs one without just mushing.
Seasoned osage orange wood is like iron also. Good long bow material I'm told. Nice to see how it stands under this pressure. Fun demonstration, thanks
Hello, can you make a video where you test under the press a "tantalum" block, please? I'm curious to see if it proves better than titanium and tungsten blocks. Thanks.
Which ironwood is it? It looks like the ironwood that is related to beech (hop hornbeam) rather than lignum vitae, which is immensely strong, quite a bit stronger than the already strong hornbeam. There are other ironwoods too, I think the lig vitae is about the strongest. I'd like to know which one this was.
for some reason he has a piece of Bocote (Cordia alliodora) rather than any species of ""ironwood". genuine lignum (Guaiacum officinale) would be alot harder and heavier than that.

If you want dull steel it will do you lol. But seriously it's slow to work with and I have Japanese files and low grit sandpaper and do most stuff by hand and even slow with the rotary tool without carbide.
I was wondering, how much stronger it would be if you wrap the wood with sheet metal to help prevent expansion of width? I imagine it could be more than twice the strength if the sheet metal thick as 17 gage.
You could try fiddleback aged Redgum or Yellow Box. Clearly from your own video the direction of the grain is important which is why fiddleback is so horrible. The grain runs in multiple directions making each strand reinforce the weaknesses in other strands. 50 Tonne on a sharp blade doesn't penetrate the stuff. I use turned red gum as bearings to replace worn out teflon bearings and in a few cases even replaced roller bearings this way. It is amazing stuff. As long as it hasn't been leached by water at the river's edge.
Iron Wood isn't the hardest or heaviest wood. It is very hard and very heavy, but IPE is harder and heavier, and has a higher specific gravity. Regardless though, this is an excellent, informative video. Thanks!
@@fredastaire6156 read my post again. I never said IPE was the hardest and heaviest wood in the world . I just said it was harder and heavier than Ironwood . Semantics , my friend. 🇺🇸😎👍
So is ironwood resistant to the changing seasons then? You can’t control wood movement without controlling the weather, plus it’s the quality of the plasterer and temperature it was plastered in that will make a difference too, fair play tho someone actually tried, but I bet it still has cracks...
I found a stick which is really dense. Tried to break it couple of times but it doesn't. It's really strong than some hard steels. I don't understand what i really found but that wooden stick is strange 🤯
I think a better reference point of wood is specific gravity.. The value is easy to look up on line and if over 1.0 the wood sinks.. We see pines around 0.28, birch 0.32, oak at 0.44 walnut 0.41, Hickory at 0.88, live oak near 0.78 and Desert Iron wood at 1.19 or higher.. If your new or old woodworkers. Specific gravity is a great value on a scale to learn wood..
What would happen if you tried to "press" a block made of the same metal the ram is made of? Would it break the press?...or will the press shut off before the press is damaged?
@@justinspiewak1482 check out a wood type called Bangkirai, it's often used in situations where other types of wood would rot in no time. Ridiculously hard and insanely heavy.
Petrified wood isn't wood. Petrification means that the wood over a long time period has been replaced with minerals. What you're left with is something that resembles wood, but is entirely composted of stone. Same way an animal fossil isn't comprised of any organic matter.
@@sailoroftheinternet3290 Yes you are right they call it "Petrified Wood" because it's mineral is known as "Silicone" over time it kinda turns into stone - like. It's the hardest known substance in the world.
This does not show the real durability of wood. You can put stacks of paper there and it can get compressed and register higher numbers. If the purpose is to test the durability of a wood, you should test its breaking point by elevating the wood and pressing it at the center just like testing a bridge's capacity.
they also pressed on the previous blocks with the fibers pointing upwards, unlike the last one where everything was settled horizontally. or would it not have made any difference regardless?
I think that a couple of people were shot when that HD Fiberboard was pressed. Did you check around for wounded victims...other than the poor camera. RISLGH _Rest In Shattered Lens Glass Heaven_ Have you tried Australian Buloke?
the sample size should be 1x1" square for PSI. the crushing number has no reference otherwise The gauge tip may be round and 1 square inch but we dio not know that.. You should say the info.
We have trees here in the Philippines that you should try 1. Kamagong 2. Yakal 3. Molave 4. Magkono Let's see IF you can find anything that's harder in the world.

The high-density fiber-board was placed so its grain was perpendicular to the press. The other samples has the wood grain parallel to the press.
Wood grain is strongest in compression parallel to the grain, so it was tested at it's highest strength. HDF doesn't really have "grain" structure, but it is less strong along the laminations. They were tested fairly as far as I can tell..

Iron wood is the "heaviest wood" but it is not the hardest. Lignum vitae is the hardest.
