    it's just frustrating that a lot of the failures are simply due to rushing through things and not putting that final 10% of finishing work that separates a quality result from a failure. In this care for example, they could have spent an extra 30 seconds on each brick to properly form them instead of just sloppily slopping the clay in. Then they should have fired the bricks properly, wouldn't be that hard once they get a system and flow going.

    "FISH?" When sieging a castle you want to bring a herd of pigs with you. When sapping the walls you add the pigs to the fire which raises the temperature high enough to make the earth above become brittle and collapse the wall above it. Dried oily fish have been used as a fuel by many people and continued into relatively recent times in the form of a ferry that once crossed Lake Michigan fueled by dried sturgeon. Maybe the original artist is suggesting that oily fish will help bring a high stable heat.

    The bricks need a lot of work it seems. As other people have mentioned they probably could use less water to reduce deformation. A tip I saw on primative technology was to use wood ash with water on the brick mold to allow it to slide out more easily, but also being dryer would allow it to slip out more easily too (also using wood ash on the floor to prevent it from sticking). I believe the design of your kiln was also pretty flawed, if you're using rectangular bricks you should be building a square kiln (make sure to make square bricks too for end pieces). If you need to make a cylindrical shaped kiln you should be using trapezoidal bricks, where the interior angles are 75 and 105 degrees respectively (for a 12 sided circle). One more thing you missed is the critical step of firing the bricks (you can test to see if they're fired by putting them in water to see if they dissolve, if they dissolve then they weren't properly fired). When you put them around the fireplace all that did was dry them, which isn't bad but it doesn't make them fired; they should glow orange/red or be close to glowing. I've never made bricks in my life so feel free to disregard all of what i said, but there's lots of videos about how to do this stuff on youtube (e.g. primative technology)

    I have a cottage industry manufacturing bricks a few kilometres from my home. They fry the bricks like this. Maybe because it's not practical or cost effective to fry each brick on a grate. Ghe bricks they produce are surprisingly good quality. I guess it also has to do with the quality of clay and the compaction. (All done by hand mind you). About the shape, you are absolutely right. I have always seen rectangular structures with bricks. Never a cylindrical one.

    Did you watch the same video as I did? Where some guy built things in the jungle? He burnt I think coconut husks for the ash. He built a kiln and a fan. I also thought that the bricks were not uniform enough and not fired properly. They have to glow red. First dry them. Then dry around a fire and the fire them in a kiln. I think you have to use way less water so that the bricks hold the form better and dry out faster and more uniform. But of course it needs much more time. I think you cannot rush such things. Today in our society everything is rushed. But in the past you needed time to build things. To make them last. The kiln had to many nooks and crannies and to many cracks. If you build it with better bricks and smoothen it out it will get less cracked and the chance of the kiln or bricks getting destroyed is much smaller. I like to watch such videos but my knowledge is only theory. I never did it myself. But sometimes I will try it out.

The clay being too wet could be harder to handle, and more importantly it will shrink significantly and unevenly when drying, causing the brick to have inconsistent shapes or even cracks.

    Andy your journey has been extremely inspiring to me. The amount of time and sheer will required to make these videos is dumbfounding. I’ve been a fan since your first video when you made a sandwich from scratch. It’s been amazing to see you become an expert in so many areas. I remember your first attempt at glass, and your second attempt, and every attempt after that. I remember you being super discouraged after your first attempt. But as you spoke to more experts and learned how difficult it was to actually make it successfully, each failure was less of a blow. And then eventually after a million attempts, you actually did it. What’s even more impressive to me is watching you grow this brand and build this company. I don’t think the average person understand the logistical spiderweb that has to come together to produce each one of these videos. And more than that, we never really see you become angry or bitter when something doesn’t work out. Every level of this channel is done as ethically as possible. Your tenacity, your patience, and your integrity are all extremely inspiring to me. You’re a modern day role model to me and a lot of your viewers. Thanks for doing what you do.

    I definitely agree with you. And what's better is that Andy doesn't just stick up to doing it "the primitive way", as one can learn how to do simple things better with modern knowledge, and after "inventing" a technology he also uses its modern counterpart, so that when doing new projects it doesn't take forever. For me he is a normal person with the skills of a normal person (not so bad that everything is a major challenge, nor someone who can master a skill with relative ease), who just wants to do stuff, learn and understand them. It's the everyday man, that instead of going "eh, this is too complex to be done by a single person", just tries to do it from the basics, without feeling discouraged or ridiculous about it, powered only by curiosity. Definitely someone I also look up to 👍

Pack the clay in, let it fall out, next brick. Could probably make more specific shapes as well.

    It's the ounce of 'care' put into PT's projects. It's not hard to work with clay ... and simple things like measuring your openings to make sure they are big enough is pretty damn sloppy imo. You can also use calcium carbonate as a flux which is way easier to find and make in larger quantities than the soda ash you were trying to use. Any sort of crustacean shell or similar can be fired and reacted with water to make calcium carbonate. Im not flying to Texas to find that weed (grass) you said to use ...

    I think it was the Omelcs in central America who primarily did that, Ive heard about Mediterraneans doing that sometimes but primarily using chisels hammers and splitting. and it wouldn't be called sawing, they used hard sands as an abrasive against copper rope or wooden tools. Its unknown what material for certain, but that's called Lapping.

    A key piece of what is missed. When they made the hard wood charcoal for pig iron, the sand would set in the charcoal. It was made by digging a pit and dropping the hard wood in it. After the wood was set and coals buring, they would be covered by sand to stop oxygen from getting in. That would make the charcoal burn longer in the bloom stoves. This caused the byproduct of dirty glass. And would be smelted away when the pig iron was pulled from the bloom. Over time, the reused pits would have soda ash develop and cause more glass, and in turn require more flux for the pig iron. By distilling it often enough, you get clear glass.

    Fusing rock flour and white wood ash makes a decent primitive glass. The white ash comes from my wood-burning stove, and is mostly calcium potassium carbonates. The rock flour comes from a rock tumbler in which I tumble agates and rose quartz. The heat comes from a carbon arc. The recipe doesn't make optical glass, but it makes nice pendants and other jewelry. The provenance is kind of cool, too, especially when customers provide wood and-or rocks that mean something to them.

    Your bricks would be a whole lot better if you added a fair amount of sand . (As much as 35%, and 5% silt, with more sand for the chimney bricks.) This allows the clay to shrink as it dries, with less cracking. Your also should add finely shredded straw or grass because this helps to counteract the tendency for bricks to crack while drying. It does not have any real value as reinforcement once the brick has dried, as you suggested. You'll find the ideal blend of clay, sand and silt at some point where an old river turned around a bend, and deposited it , already graded. You'll also improve your bricks by adding protein such as casein, which can be sourced from fresh cow manure. Add about 5% and see the result. Another good additive will be a detergent, or a deflocculant. Its an interesting experiment to try different ratios.
