Oh my God.... the enchanting "sampe Leto" music at the background really bring back the old memories. Used to see this kind of furnace during my childhood time, when accompanied my late father to visit the blacksmith to make a parang or two. The only difference is that the 'piston' of the orang ulu 'posan' was fitted to a spring like pole to ease the movement of the piston.
Thank you. It is good to see an authentic video of a primitive forge. I've played around at smithing and I started using a single-tube bellows pump fairly similar to the one shown. Later on I evolved to using an electric fan. If I ever set up another charcoal forge (and there is power available), I will probably use an old hair dryer. While the old primitive bellows work just fine, a hairdryer is more convenient if you are working on your own. Best wishes from New Zealand.
Bandel4, I'm a bidayuh from Sarawak but still i try very hard to find the location of this Village. Dear friend, we still can see the tradition of making a machete (parang) at Sarawak Cultural Village.
@bandel4 too bad that these kind of tools are hard to find nowadays. If I come across one, i would share the picture. I guess the Penans had the same tool too.
if you didn't have a parang to make the feather stick to start the fire how did the first parang get smithed out of the metal. Oh my god this is a real chicken and the egg scenario. Sorry I couldn't resist. It's early. Great vid, great music.
its very sad what is hapaning in sarawak at the minite bcorsue the jungle is being distrod and the indijenus people are be displaced and forsivle removed form the homes in the jungle.

@echanchuk Glad that you enjoyed the music. Any chance you have pictures that you can share with us?
awesome music, nice video
@wescobts Thank you!
can you explain to me the purpose of that flat stone
Excellant video
Cool, chill vid. Is that oil or water in that quenching trough?
MrLeonidas0001 : we usually use water and the depth (or amount of water) covers just as much as the part of steel to be tempered.. I hope this helps..
it keep the heat on the right side of the forge
@bcafotw thanks JC!
