Iron extraction from black sand

My brother Sebastian shows his big project of extracting iron from bog ore and black sand.

That was an amazing oven, great execution, one of the best home made smelters I've seen. That harvest was impressive.

Man literally made a minecraft grass block

I'm more impressed with the way y'all saved the sod

[TalRohan]

Wow thats the way to do it ...I see so many of these videos where people just don't value what theyre making and the resources going into them but you nailed it...a beautiful bloom and a huge homogenous piece of iron...very very cool
Well done guys

[rustyshillford]

great quality video. as your friends sat around watching you guys I wondered how it would have been the same so many years ago with your ancestors. neat video 10/10

This is what happens when there's no Renaissance Fair or cosplay event for these guys to attend.

Love how you're doing like next level blacksmithing in a suburban garden lol

I've been trying to make my own iron on and off (mostly off) for a little over a year now, most of that time spent gathering ore. A few things I tried to smelt it didn't work, but yesterday I had a very minor success using my diy gas forge as a bloom furnace. Most of the magnetite sand didn't smelt at all, but some worked out well and coalesced into a couple small melty looking pieces.

This should help a lot in improving my process, thanks

I have to say...your soil is magnificent. Here in North Texas, our ground is mostly rock and infertile and must be heavily modified to make things grow

Wow! Everything about this was beautiful, from the iron working to the scenery.

You make me want to visit Denmark.

I love Youtube, ''I'm bored. lets make some Iron''

Removing the lawn to place it back later at first had me convinced this must be Germany. :D

[skipmage]

This is very cool that you did this with just some friends in your yard.

Not surprising the magnetically separated material produced a giant bloom it had to be hundreds of times purer than that bog ore. Also multiple tappings moved most of the slag left out and away. Pretty genius.

enough iron to potentially make 15 swords

Great video I wasn’t expecting to see so few views when I saw the counter. Keep up the great content
