About This Video:
I invented method of making pots from wood ash instead of clay. The ash is mixed with water and formed into shape, left to set for 3-7 days and will then be water resistant like normal clay pottery. Unlike conventional clay pottery, no firing is required, the pot will set by itself in the air due to the high lime content of the ash. First the wood must be burned at a high temperature, well ventilated fire. The white ash is then mixed with water, molded into a pot using conventional pottery techniques and will then set due to the calcium oxide in the wood ash turning into calcium carbonate by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The pot can then optionally be polished with a smooth object such as a shell while it"s semi dry to give it a shiny finish. The resultant pot was then put in water for 24 hours without dissolving. It then held water for another 24 hours though some of the water seeped out. It should make a good alternative to clay pottery if there are no sources of clay around. A brick was also made to test it"s ability to form bricks. The ash brick also passed the water test after spending 24 hours in the creek without dissolving.
About Primitive Technology:
Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials. To find specific videos, visit my playlist tab for building videos focused on pyrotechnology, shelter, weapons, food & agriculture, tools & machines, and weaving & fiber.

Firing bricks Unloading kiln White wood ash left over from firing kiln (must be from a high temperature, well oxygenated fire) Sifting charcoal out of ash Adding water to white wood ash Mixing water and ash (nothing else added) Forming the rim of the pot Adding new layers Build up into a dome, wait for layers to stiffen slightly before adding new layers.
Adding last layer Turn over the next day Use a snail shell to polish the pot (this is called burnishing) The finished pot made of 100% wood ash Leave pot in the sun for 3 to 7 days to dry (I left it for 7 to make sure it sets properly) The pot has now set due to the lime in the wood ash, time to test it The pot is put in water to prove it won't dissolve 24 hours later the pot is taken out still intact The pot is left for another 24 hours with water in it.
After a day about half of the water seeped out but it still had some in it Collecting bark to make more ash Burning the bark in the kiln Getting the new ash This time mixing sand into the ash Water The mix warms up when water is added indicating the chemical reaction that causes the ash to start set Forming a brick Here's one I made earlier.
It also passes the water test The next day Brick and pot Brick, pot, hammer and storage pellets of ash

probabilities are you’ll possibly perchance comprise a t shirt tan but by no contrivance comprise a t shirt
this man is actually enjoying survival minecraft
So I’m at a loss for phrases by the title is wooden ash clay new to him or new as in precisely in the near past invented
I’m so uninteresting, when he attach the ash in the woven basket I believed he used to be gonna transport the ash in other areas
Minecraft IRL
Is the pottery we form with a mixture of ash or calcium oxide that you made healthy to cook in? Thank you I'm partial to your channel
Tremendous video, steady form please attach a shirt on🤣
