In this week's episode, Beau chats with Will Urban, Tim Urban, and Thomas Thibault about smelting using primitive techniques. We ran into them up at The Maker Camp and they let Beau join in on their collection and decided it would be cool to explain the process. From beginning to end they walk us through the process of smelting your own metal that you could use to make tools. From constructing a furnace out of clay, sand, and peat moss, to collecting the raw ore, to melting it down in the furnace to be consolidated into a bloom of iron.
