Hi. I'm a retired ceramic engineer. Use charcoal instead of wood. Form a thick layer of silica sand in the front center of the furnace. Make a depression in the center of the sand to form a bowl. Put your premixed ingredients in the depression. The pure silica sandmelts at a much higher temperature so you will end up with a pool of melt that is more fluid in the middle and will fork its own solid bowl. Draw from the fluid portion. Build the charcoal fire to each side of the pool. Good luck. I enjoy your efforts and they show just how much practice is needed to get things right.
I can’t wait till you get to the point where you build your first metal lathe and mill. Then eventually you will have to design and develop machinery to make your own vacuum tubes and then transistors. By the end you will be able to make anything and everything.

@@Hi_Brien I mean if he were actually trying to do anything with the things he’s made long term as people would have had to at the time it would have been a bad thing. It’s just a fun proof of concept though so it’s fine. Even if it the series isn’t strictly trying to stick to its rules in a way that makes sense it still feels like this channel ought to get more views for how much time, work, and money they put into it even if they do produce low quality crafts in the end.
Part of the problem with the quality of his items is that he previously hasn't been consulting craftsmen for each specialty, and in the few instances he has consulted experts, their input is largely ignored. (Or in the case where a "bow" was made, in idiot was consulted.) At the current level of tech, he should already have hardened files and carbon crucible steel for making tools to make the correct tools for all this work. Skipping steps in the tech is why all his work looks like a 6 year old made it with their feet.
You now have Cullet, a key ingredient in glass making. It will reduce the amount of energy needed as already made glass is easier to melt than new glass.
think so too that was one of the reasons why they chopped down the forest that existed before the black forest (it got its name from the excessiv use of needle woods for its reforestation since its fast growing wood, which could be used relativly soon), they made ALOT of charcoal for smelting iron from ore.
@@firebladeentertainment5739 the Black Forest actually got its name from it being a rather dangerous place to be, the darker spruce trees came after the name
Aww man, I still get a pang of bittersweet sadness whenever I see videos with Grant. He truly was one of the CZcams pioneers and such a kind, humble person. 😔❤️
@@TheElfsmith Adri MVP again! I had no idea making a metal pipe like that was even possible. I would’ve thought you’d need a rod or something in the middle of that to set the forge welds without collapsing the entire pipe.
I haven't watched anything yet, but I'm guessing the intro will be "We've tried to make glass multiple times. It is the holy grail of our channel! Let's see what goes wrong today!"
Try using mullite crucibles. They're intended for this use case, and are a ceramic product, so they fit with your tech tree. They work great for both metal and glass casting.
Indeed. Specially Bronze which required tin and copper, both being quite rare and heavily localized metals. Thats why civilizations have evolved differently and its just plain wrong to assume that any location in the world could have developed advanced societies.
A tip for candling . If you start with hot coals and place them evenly across the bottom you can control the heat much easier. Then add fuel generally in the form of either a hardwood or or more Charcoal. When using softwoods the excess of gas some sometimes reduces the heat due to the fact that the draft is greatly higher than needed. Remember for every cubic foot of air that goes into the Kiln extra over what is needed, needs to be heated up and evacuated. Try to use hard woods such as oak and Maple as they will allow for higher BTU put per cubic foot of material.
Put a little Bentonite clay (kitty litter) and add it to the runny borax, and it will thicken up. It doesn’t take very much either. It’s really easy to control the viscosity to your perfect consistency. Thank you for all your awesome content! Keep it coming!
frankly, seeing you getting so much better at making things just in craft is almost as good as you showing how much better we as species have become with tech. youre so much more precise and detail oriented compared to a few years ago and it really shows in your products. What youre making is really good!
There’s a kiln design called “the philosophers kiln” that is very efficient when it comes to firing with wood. I don’t believe the romans used that design but it will certainly get up to 2300 degrees with proper air flow and minimal insulation, also loving the glass/ ceramic section of this series!
I don't know if Andy and the team will see this, but I thought I should write in anyway. A friend of mine in the viking reenactment community told me once that they would add ground up broken crucibles to the fresh clay when making new ones, so they would be stronger and withstand more heat. It might be worth trying out, since you seem to have a lot of spent crucibles.
I see this mistake often on youtube, when people are trying to heat things up like this. People make these dinky, low mass kilns. You need mass to even out the heat, to hold it in, and to buffer (slow down) changes in temperature. The only reason modern, tiny, kilns work is because they have a freaking propane blower on them. At a minimum, especially with glass, I'd have double layer brick, but I liked how he eventually added some weight. You want mass. Get some straight up KG's in there. Then there's a problem of getting hot enough. This is a challenge with primitive methods. Modern times you just add a leaf blower and stuff it full of wood, viola. To do this in a primitive fashion, I think you need to make charcoal first. You'd need a mound of it. Then you should use a timed method to reach your temperature. IE: fill the chamber with charcoal, burn half it it, time this, say 10 minutes. Then on the regular top off the firebox. Consistency is key. You'd probably wanna add a blower somewhere in there if you can. Blowers are discussed elsewhere on his channel, but for the love of god man. Make it bigger ;P
One of the problems with accieving the highest temperatures might be that you use cold wood. In glass factories in the 18th and early 19th century, the wood was first air dried for a long time in ambient temperature (months), then it was superdried and heated in a separate kiln specially for drying wood, before beeing fed into to the glass kiln while still hot (I guess the outside of the wood was allmost charcoal at a couple of hundred degrees) and the water content 0%. This way you don't waste some the glass kiln energy to heat and dry the wood before it catch fire. You also need to acciece stable temperatures... First up 14-1500°C to melt the glass, and keep it there for several hours, then slowly cool it down to about 10-1100°C working temperature suitible for glass blowing. I support the suggestions to build a kiln of larger mass to even out the temperatures. I see from 18th century glass factory archives that they spent 3 days of continiously burning wood (in an allready red hot kiln) from the crucible was refilled and a new batch of glass was heated, melted for a long enough time and then cooled to woring temperature.
1) While I'm a little disappointed that Andy isn't the one upping his skills and refining his tools as much, I'm still really happy that he's at least outsourcing the relevant work to professionals of the trade, because seriously, it takes years to master things like blacksmithing, not to mention all the tools and setup it takes to properly get going, so while it isn't *really* in the right format for The Reset in total, it's still a far cry better than before. Besides, when you think about it, it wasn't some master craftsman that did all the blacksmithing, woodcarving, brickmaking, baking, bladeshaping, etc. etc. etc. but various masters of the different crafts, though there was obviously little bits of overlap here and there, so the modern forge aside, this is way better. 2) "Bendable! Poseable! The Alien AKA the "Medium Green Man"! GLOWS in the DARK!" I was obsessed with finding a frame I could read that on, hahahaha. Made me laugh when I finally saw it. Thanks for the little bit of humour.
The black color of the glas is actually just a deep green from the iron that desolved from your crucible. Its not from the borax and you can actually tell that you had a slightly reducing athmosphere in your kiln.
Instead of a linear retracing of historical technology development, I think it would be WAYYYY more interesting to see a channel/video series dedicated to thinking outside the box and developing to electromagnetic power technologies from "zero" via alternative methods, even if that means they do not neccessarily look like how we know them as today.
How to make everything up to modern times. Let me know when the nuclear power plant from scratch series will be. I need a small one for my back yard. Hehe.
Your ceramic pots keep exploding, likely due to them not being well constructed and dried properly. Any unevenness in the walls is going to cause stress points when your pot fires. If you put a flywheel on the bottom of your kick wheel that is wider than the wheel head you'll get much better results. Also, work on the side of the clay that's closest to you, not on the opposite side, you'll have so much more control over the clay that way. Let your finished pots dry for a few days before firing them, and have them go through two firings, you'll get much stronger ceramic pots that way. Find out what the vitrification temperature is for your clay and you'll know how hot to fire it to get the strongest clay possible. As someone else below said, use charcoal. The Romans made extensive use of charcoal in all aspects of industry. You just can't get temperatures high enough, or stable enough for proper firing.
Lead oxide is a better flux, especially if you want a traditional roman glass. Borax is used to make pyrex, which is a pretty modern glass, but it's maybe not great without a modern kiln. Lead is still used to make "Glass Crystal" because it allows the glass to stay liquid over a larger temperature range and trapped air bubbles to escape. For the romans, it also sweetened their wine as it turned to vinegar, so there's that.
When a teacher ask what subject are you interested in and you say history(teacher)so what subject are you most interested In (htme)”history”(teacher) “so which part of history are you most interested in” (htme)”allll of the history’s ever to be historied”
Would you mind looking into water purification methods? Ancient ways was to just let the weak die, then came beer. But safe clean drinking water is as much a problem back then as today. Maybe even find a cost effective way for places to source water?
Have you considered a rocket stove design for heating your kiln? It really minimizes smoke because it's more efficient. Not exactly historical technology but certainly doable with historical materials.

U should try coconut shells to burn to increase the temperature
Maybe try bamboo for the pipe
For the wood you can chop down a norway maple tree, Norway maples are invasive trees so you can save money and help the ecosystem at the same time

try Roman concrete to mortar the bricks to improve heat retention
Look back a few episodes. The bricks are a modern ceramic brick adequate and appropriate for kilns since he did Roman concrete already.
Watching this journey is incredible, to think it took 100s of years between every invention you’ve recreated
Rest in peace, Grant
