Bronze making will come soon?
However, I don't think he'll find copper and tin ores in the same place, and trading stuff kinda ruins the entire premise of the project. So he'll have to get right to steelmaking, skipping bronze.
First, he'll have to obtain iron ore (since he's in Australia, it will be easy enough). Then, he needs coke — he can make it from charcoal by using beehive oven: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beehive_oven https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beehive_oven
Then, he can build bloomery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomery) to produce sponge iron, and then wrought iron.
Then, cementation furnace (much harder to build) to make steel.

- digler999 11y agoMost of his stuff is great, but his nitroglycerine video made me cringe. He's dealing with fuming acids inside, WITHOUT a fume hood, and (IMO) doesn't have respect for the danger or the repercussions of that substance. Other than that, I like his videos.
