In the next step in my camera series, I take the clear glass and metal I've learned how to produce, and combine them to make a lens for my camera.
Thank you to Josh for his help in designing my lens, check out his channel for more information on he designed the lens: youtube.com/user/cool95ify and on twitter: twitter.com/Holoptics
Also thanks to Martin for help with the CNC machine!: www.instagram.com/ringinator

|| ABOUT ||
Today, getting what you need is as easy as a trip to the store. From food to clothing, energy, medicine, and so much more, Andy George will discover what it takes to make everything from scratch. His mission is to understand the complex processes of manufacturing that is often taken for granted and do it all himself. Each week he’s traveling the world to bypass the modern supply chain in order to harvest raw materials straight from the source. Along the way, he’s answering the questions you never thought to ask.
Music by the talented Taylor Lewin

As I watched this last episode I realized I have something that would help you with the glass cooling. I bought a lot from a precision glass manufacturer auction a few weeks ago. It included what was labeled as a cooling table. It’s basically a heated table so you don’t get the quick thermal shock and you could slowly cool the glass. It’s yours if you want it.

UH UH NO CHEATING! YOU HAVE TO BUILD THAT 3D PRINTER FROM SCRATCH!
-
Try to take a colour photograph using red blue and green filters.
-
This makes me admire the person who first invented this
-
compared to your earlier glass making attempts you literally sound like a professional now haha
-
Next episode: making a spacecraft from scratch and fly to the sun to harvest its energy
-
You pour the metals and glass too fast... it traps air bubbles inside making imperfections
-
Just thinking about ages upon ages of human life, labor, training, and gathering wasted materials that have been spared by factories and the ability to mass-produce quality materials... man, what a time to be alive. This series always makes me so grateful.
-
How many kilns has Andy went through at this point? 😂
-
Can you please try to make chewing gum from scratch.

the little cnc machine protrusion, my 12 year old sense of humor: “Tiddy.”

On the one hand you have incredible commitment to what you're doing, and on the other, you're not accurate enough. Everything is eyeballed and just rough. Mesuring and planning go a long way, having the right tools also does. I understand you're working on a limited budget, but more conscientious efforts on every steps would have produced a better image.

Drops lens...
-
I think this is by FAR the most amazing project you've taken on. Thank you.
-
Andy seems like the kind of person that when opening a bag of chips would spill them all over the floor. Not a natural creative type. Major credit to him for persistence.
-
The channel should be called “How to make everything, so long as you can travel the US and have access to professional tools like 3D printers, CNC machines, and facilities that manufacturer tools on special order”. Sarcasm aside, I couldn’t be more disappointed in this video and this channel. You’ve become so obsessed being perfect that you’ve sold your channel’s soul to industrial methods. Boo on you.

I would say the answer is "Prussian Blue", but Prussia is not the name of a German city; rather, it was the name for a particularly prominent state of Germany up until 1947.

Andy. One day you'll be able to make some glass and form it into the shape you want, it may take years but you can do it. You're like the people who set world speed records, years of hard work mixed with many failures but they end up doing it. You and your team are great, keep on going.
-
Hot to make everything (using a 3D printer and a CnC machine
-
I just have to say, you are a massive inspiration to me as someone who makes a lot of things and doesnt know what they're doing most of the time. You just prove that anything can be achieved through lots of trial and error and to not give up even when it seems hopeless. I tend to give up on things if it doesnt go sdll the first couple times but sometimes it takes more than a couple attempts to get the results you want so keep it up 🙌🙌
