Скачать или смотреть Making a stone vase with primitive tools: Lost Ancient High Technology

An experiment in making a stone vase using stone and copper tools. Reconstruction of ancient technology.

The experiment was not intended to copy the ancient method of stone carving in detail. The idea was to show the possibility of doing such work using simple tools.

Examples of stone vases (Ancient Egypt): https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/76962...

Material: breccia marble from the Narvsky open pit in the Krasnoyarsk Territory
Ingoing size: 200x200x200mm
Finished size: 80x135mm
Tool materials: wood, sandstone, corundum (grindstone + grinding agent), hemp string, alabaster, quartz.
Self-made tools: a grinding and drilling machine, a bow drill, a chambering tool (a grindstone on a wooden handle), a copper saw, copper drills of various diameters.
Total work time: about 6 months, 6 to 8 hours a day, excepting 2 days off a week. At least 2 months of this time period were spent on making and testing the tools.

2 emergencies occurred during the work process:
1. An emergency at the roughing-out stage: almost half of the block broke off due to a fault in the stone, which made it necessary to significantly reduce the height of the workpiece.
2. An emergency at the chambering stage: a piece of the outer rim of the throat split off, which made it necessary to glue the chip onto its place.
