Sorry but this is fake or staged there is no way he got that much metal from that little bit of Iron oxide he put into that first furnace that barely got hot enough to heat metal
For anyone wondering he gets iron by reacting iron oxide (the red stuff, rust essentially) with carbon (from the charcoal). The reaction reduces the iron oxide to iron metal and oxidizes the carbon to carbon dioxide. That stuff can just leave the reaction mixture as a gas, leaving (theoretically) pure metal behind. A lot of the time some of the pure carbon will be left in the metal, creating more brittle cast iron. A more vigorous version of this reaction is called thermite, which is the reaction of iron oxide and aluminum. The reaction scheme is a similar redox reaction to the one seen with FeO and C but it is much more exothermic, to the point where it can melt through solid metal.
The amount of ingenuity and sheer determination this man possesses is incredible. The amount of work he put into crafting that knife and chisel is astounding. Until now, I was under the impression that I was a hard worker..... little did I know. Hats off to you sir.
Wow, all the good comments are taken. Guess all that's left is to say Thank You for allowing us into your world and amazing us with something that seems second nature to you. Great job.

I mean can you imagine how valuable that knife would be to you.

Only the beginning until he starts to dig and sell oil.
Отлично! Интересней чем на канале Примитивные технологии.
Очень кропотливый и энергозатратный труд, браво!!!

Сколько труда. Спасибо за такое познавательное видео.
This guy: trapped at the top of a flat mountains... Surrounded with vicious animals...
I swear if society fails me I'm just gonna go live in the jungle using all the knowledge I've acquired from these videos
