For a blue-collar worker or a common person during the Copper Age, a prized possession made of copper would likely have been a functional tool or weapon that could make their daily life easier or provide a means of protection. Some examples of valuable copper items for a common person might have included: Copper axe: A copper axe would have been more durable and efficient than a stone axe, making tasks like cutting wood or clearing land easier. Copper dagger or spearhead: A copper weapon would have provided better protection against enemies or wild animals. Copper jewelry: Copper was also used for decorative purposes, and a simple piece of copper jewelry, such as a bracelet or necklace, might have held symbolic or sentimental value. Copper pot or vessel: Copper was sometimes used to make cooking or storage vessels, which could have been considered valuable items for a common person. It's important to note that copper was still a relatively rare and valuable resource during the Copper Age, so even these basic tools and weapons would have been considered prized possessions for a blue-collar worker.

Was gonna subscribe, turns out I already was. Saw this done by a jewelry maker on a television show but couldn't remember how it was done, thank you, it's been years of trying to remember. I actually did this by accident melting some silver I'd dissolved in salt/vinegar for another project.

Great job!, thank you all for showing how hard is to get metal. 👍👍🙏

Trabalho incrível!

Looks absolutely similar to the real thing. I once met a blacksmith at a historical park (Archeon, the Netherlands) and I asked him to forge me an arrowhead. It took him les than 10 minutes. Amazing indeed, and it gave me new insights in the production speed of skilled medieval weapon smiths.

Where do you get the malachite?

thanks for the video! great effort

Fantastyczna praca, a uzyskane żelazo pierwsza klasa. Porownujac z tym co wytapiano w dawnych wiekach, jest naprawdę doskonałe!

8:02 The billet looks slightly overheated to my admittedly untrained eye ... it was white hot and throwing sparks even before being hammered. Isnt there a fine line between forge welding temp and burning the steel ?

Not gonna lie, I got mallet envy watching this video. You should do a video on charcoal making though, such a huge part of the process. Do you roast the ore before smelting?

Greetings from California

Incredible, this is exactly how we do it in Africa too, funny how we came up with the same ideas while separated by thousands of kilometers

This is the worst kind of steal you could buy

1:20 very musical. can the liquid slag splatter and hit you?

very awesome and love the disassemblable style furnace, gives me ideas

to what purpose does the layer of dirt serve, separation from the wood ash from i assume logs to start that fire, and the real charcoal, to burn it slower? WHOAAAAA THAT ISNT A FLAMING INGOT THAT IS A METEORITE

0:03 - 0:23 What are the tools being used to crush malachite standing up? Love the video, so interesting to get a glimpse into different times and perspectives.

Boring!

I cant get over how wrought iron is so much more aesthetic than steel

Good job guys!! A huge loop, very impressive!

What mineral was the original ore?

how many kilograms of coal does it take to make an iron?

cost

how much this beauty costs...

Интересно еще и литьё бронзы. Как древние металурги догадались совмещать медь и цинк, что.ы получилась бронза. Хотя железо это тоже интересно.

Great point

8:20 how did you get it stuck together here? Put it in the fire carefully and let the heat stick them together? Or heated 2 pieces separately and hammered em together?

Hello Sir, nice to meet you. I am very impressed with what you do. Can I get iron results like that from you? Thank You

Magneficent ser. Damascus multibar sutton hoo sword making please.

Pleease we need the video of the making of this sword/the fittings 😍

This video made my day thank you for this materpiece!!💕💕💕

beautiful!!!!!!!❤

what type of hat is that in the thumbnail preview?

Very well done, you certainly have the skills!

Thats so cool ! I´d love to do this one day myself and later make a sword out of it ! Are there any dates and locations planned where someone would be able to watch it ? Greetings from austria !

I've seen loads of damascus forgings but this one is BY FAR the most creative one yet! 👍👍👍

Beautiful craftsman as always Maciej Tomaszczyk. Thanks to your advice my forge welding is improving. It is always nice to see your work and thank you for sharing your wisdom with us all godbless and be safe.

Great build. I always enjoy seeing and watching 👏👏

The scene where you forgeweld the two halfs of the anchor together. Did you put in a small flatstock between them to get a better weld? On 7:09 there sticks out a bit of a sheet?

Цікаве й інформативне відео. Особливо стосовно корозії і швів, тепер буду уважніше придивлятися до виробів!

Beautiful work!

👍👍👍

That's a really sizeable forging to do mostly by yourself, radiant heat alone would give you a decent suntan too!

Very nice job, i learned alot from this.👍

No eye protection. Brilliant.

Good, way to work up a sweat, and getting something useful done, rather than just going to a damn spa

Shit, almost burnt the cottage or house down

Over the top wonderful.

you know how you can tell these dudes are pros that have worked together for a while? none of them even flinched when the axe handle fell off. just kept on moving along. like bosses. outstanding work, thanks so much for sharing.

WOW
