Previously I made and tested one water bellow. It was small and was fired in a pit. For this project I made two that had a deeper stroke than the last one. I also fired it in a kiln so it would be stronger. I made a wide based tuyere for the two spouts of the bellows to fit into during use. When one bellow was lifted the other dropped so that a constant but intermittent stream of air entered the fire. The bellows worked well initially but then the handle came off one. So I attached wooden handles to both and they were easier to operate. I got about 2 hours of use and then the spout broke off one. This was probably due to a low firing temperature in the kiln, I could fix that problem the next time I do a firing by adding fewer layers of bricks in the bottom of the kiln. Also, the design could be modified to make the spout stronger.<\/p>\n<p>00:00- 03:13 Make new water bellows<br \/>\n03:13- 06:45 Making bricks<br \/>\n06:45-10:13 Firing bellows and bricks<br \/>\n10:13- 12:11 Bellows valves<br \/>\n12:11- 13:06 Bricks and ash pellets<br \/>\n13:06- 14:47 Setting up bellows<br \/>\n14:47- 19:44 Testing Bellows<\/p>\n<p>About Primitive Technology:<br \/>\nPrimitive 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 &#8211; An axe, pick up a stone and shape it &#8211; 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.
