  • I didn't live in a cave. But I did make art like a caveman.
    It was a fun process making my own charcoal; one of the oldest artistic mediums on the planet. I appreciate you watching! and welcome aboard if you're new here :)

    When I watched some of your video’s i have never checked your views. Today I watched this video and checked it. I was stumped. You sir, you make content that deserves way more than this. Keep up the good vibes.
    Greetings from the Netherlands.

    The main thing about making charcoal is eliminating the oxygen so it doesn't actually burn off. Cody on codys lab used cleaned out paint cans when he started making charcoal. He needed larger amounts for his experiments, so he upgraded to barrels, but it was still interesting. I wonder how a packed paint can would compare to the aluminum foil method. Anciently they'd stack the charcoal in large orderly piles with very little space in-between the sticks, and then I think they'd seal it with clay. The fires were very intense to the extent that it was used as a plot device in a book/tv series called Cadfael.
    I think well you can buy stick charcoal for art very similar to what you created. I think the one you bought is crushed charcoal with a binder. I could totally be wrong though

      LOL! As I undrrstand it, Aluminum has only relatively recently bern smelted from its bauxite ore form, like ir only really started being smelted starting in the 1900s. That's super recent compared to iron, gold, & silver. So no, cavemen wouldn't've used Al foil (tangent: aluminum & tin [Sn on the Periodic table of the Elements] are different elements. Calling Aluminum foil "tin foil" is a misnomer.
