Video on the topic “Production of a workpiece made of sand-lime brick, precisely turned by fiddling and rolling, on a self-built lathe”.
ABOUT (GERMAN):
The video documents my preliminary experiment to produce a precisely "rolling" and fiddle-turned workpiece (reference piece) from Baumberger sand-lime brick on a self-made lathe. In the preliminary experiment, the lathe contains industrially manufactured components (galvanized threaded steel, screw nuts, washers, ball bearings, wood screws) as an intermediate step to approach experimental archaeological questions with regard to ancient Egyptian stone processing using modern methods. In further planned preliminary experiments, precise objects from natural stone are to be produced exclusively using means and methods that were demonstrably actually available to the ancient Egyptians.
