These African brotha's got some serious metal fabrication skill....

Props!
Damn. Think what they could do if they had power tools that would be some shit
Wonder how they came up with the engineering?
Reverse engineering a store bought one or trade skill handed down in community
Yep back in the day is some hoods we used to reverse engineer the hell out of things
Why is this a big deal? You see in every little market, in every place
in Africa. There is nothing special in what they did, and the contraption
does actually have short comings, though I cannot fault them for it..
For one thing, the oven has a tiny capacity, and you really must replenish
those few twigs frequently. But these people are in West Africa, parts of
which are hardpressed for wood, so this contraption just fits their
particular circumstances... In parts where we have trees, people make
charcoal burning braziers..

To me the fact how they made it with the tools they had on hand is what makes it impressive
We have no choice, that is what we have to do
You can't buy power tools in Africa?
The few who can afford them do, but then they
also need electricity; and increasingly in this day,
there would also be concerns about the reliability
of the supply of that electricity...At the end of the
day, the cost of the electricity would need to be
factored into cost of the product...
Necessity is the mother of innovation; here
you have a home made welding tool. The
principle is simple...All that this is is is a
step-down transformer. Basically you are
stepping down a 240v low current supply
to a 6v high current decondary... The primary
coils needs at least 2000 turns, and a ratio
40 (240/6), the secondary coil needs to
be no more than 50 turns of the thick
wire......You see thins in markets where
they have electricity, and the fellow in
the picture below appears to making a
bedframe, and you can see the note at
the bottom to which he would attach the
bed springs...
No welding goggles, and I guess his eyes must be inured to the
sight of the bright welding arc..That shit is painful, trust me...

You can, depends where you are in the entire continent of Africa. It's easier getting power tools in South Africa than Chad due to economic reasons.
You njggas are fucking idiots. You're celebrating some Africans making a home made stove when cacs are building space ships, world monuments etc? If this video was shot in 1800 it still wouldn't be shit.
Y'all niggas really set the bar low when it comes to Africans. Niggas don't have paved roads, electricity, or any real irrigation system but you niggas are rejoicing over this minuscule accomplishment that any 8th grade shop teacher can teach his students. Lmao. Africans are easily 200 years behind the rest of the world.

This is why I love the new ignore feature.
