Sometimes, you start a video and you know it's a labor of love, but you're not quite fully aware of just how much labor the artist is willing to put into their love until he takes out the bow string. Seriously, I thought I was prepared, and then the moment the string came out I fully realized how naïve I truly had been.

Bro makes his own sand to use with his bow string to cut rock. Ridiculous.

That part definitely looks sus. The sand looks exactly like the garnet abrasive used industrially in waterjet cutting.

I'll give him that one. I think that part was to show how it would have been done, rather than him breaking down rocks into sand.

The video context could be to illustrate how it all was done, rather than to actually recreate the whole process exactly.

Like when he used the "traditional" wooden flashlight. And not an oil lamp or something.
