------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pre-Founding Era (~1400s-1500s): Native and Greek Influence

Origin Story:

Migration and Early Settlement:

The indigenous peoples of Haiqin, known as the Akinai, had rich traditions of oral history and were skilled in various crafts, including pottery and weaving. When the Greek travelers arrived, they brought with them their own customs, stories, and artistic expressions, which intertwined with Akinai traditions.

Initial encounters were marked by curiosity and mutual respect. The Akinai were intrigued by the Greeks' advanced navigation techniques and metalworking skills, while the Greeks admired the Akinai's deep connection to the land and their ecological knowledge.

Initial contacts were marked by trade and curiosity rather than conflict, as both groups sought to understand one another’s way of life.

Cultural Exchange:

Spiritual Synthesis:

The merging of Greek deities with Akinai spirits led to a unique pantheon. For example, Zephyra, the Greek goddess of the wind, was associated with Naji, the Akinai spirit of storms, creating a duality in weather rituals that honored both traditions.

Festivals celebrated this synthesis, where rituals involved both Greek-style processions and native dances, showcasing the harmonious blending of traditions.

Religious Syncretism:

The merging of Greek mythology with indigenous spiritual beliefs led to the creation of new deities, often depicted as hybrid figures. For instance, a goddess representing agriculture might have attributes of Demeter combined with local nature spirits, leading to festivals that celebrated both harvests and nature's cycles.

Architectural Innovations:

Settlements featured a mix of Greek and indigenous architecture. Greek columns adorned communal gathering spaces, while traditional Akinai structures utilized local materials and designs that respected the natural environment.

This architectural fusion became a symbol of unity, leading to the construction of The Great Plaza of Vasilika, a central meeting point that facilitated trade and cultural exchange.

Artistic expression flourished as the two cultures mingled; pottery, textiles, and tools began to showcase elements from both Greek and native designs, symbolizing their cooperative spirit.

Greek architectural styles influenced indigenous housing, with stone and clay materials forming unique structures that featured columns and open courtyards. Indigenous designs included natural elements like wood and thatch, creating a blend of aesthetic beauty and functionality.

Coexistence:

Technological Collaboration:

The Greeks introduced agricultural techniques such as irrigation and crop rotation, which the Akinai adapted to enhance local farming practices. The combination of Greek crops like olives and Akinai staples like maize created a diverse agricultural economy.

Seasonal fairs began to emerge, where both cultures exchanged goods, knowledge, and stories, fostering deeper relationships.

Shared festivals and rituals became commonplace, celebrating seasonal changes and harvests. Ceremonies began to feature a mix of Greek deities and local spirits, reflecting the spiritual blending of the two cultures.

Intermarriage between Greeks and indigenous peoples created a new demographic that combined both heritages, further solidifying bonds between the groups.

Language and Communication:

As Greeks settled, a pidgin language developed, mixing Greek and local dialects. This became the foundation for the future Haiqin language, emphasizing shared vocabulary related to agriculture, trade, and spiritual concepts.

Political Organization:

Formation of Councils:

Inspired by Greek democratic principles, councils were established, consisting of both Greek settlers and Akinai chiefs. These councils focused on issues like land use, trade agreements, and conflict resolution.

The Council of Elders (may change the name idk yet) emerged as a prominent body that balanced both cultures' interests, ensuring decisions reflected the values of both communities.

The leader, Sulien, inspired by the ideals of democracy and unity, established a formal constitution that incorporated elements from both Greek and native governance, allowing for representation of all tribes.

This constitution laid the groundwork for a council that included both noble families and tribal chiefs, promoting cooperation and shared power.

PLEASE explain carpentry and woodworking im curious to hear about it from someone who actually works in it

GLADLY.

Long post ahead

Ok, first I feel like I should probably explain the differences in woodworking vs carpentry.

First up, Carpentry!

Carpentry is possibly one of the oldest trade jobs in our world. After all, wood is one of the oldest and most frequently used building materials in history. Carpentry has existed ever since the first wooden house was built. It is concerned with primarily wood construction. That means dealing with building houses, creating floor plans, installing roofing, ect. It also deals with building bridges, offices, ect ect.

There's a lot of mathematics that go into Carpentry. A good carpenter should be able to accurately take measurements and build the right about of supplies to install them.

An example would be when you're flooring a house, a carpenter will take dimensions of your house and use that to figure out how much wood you'll need to install the floors.

It requires precise dimensions to find the number of materials you'll need and how to best utilize them. This takes alot of mathematical prowess, dexterity, and ingenuity. Making errors could be catastrophic, especially if you're working on vital projects like bridges.

There is no room for error when it comes to carpentry. An error could mean the entire bridge falls apart! Carpentry works mostly with construction work, and, once mixed with crafts like masonry and metalworking, to create great structures.

Quick summary

- Involves shaping wood into materials that are meant to go towards construction work

- Properly calculating the amount of wooden material needed to complete a project

- Carefully following blueprints to build houses, rooms, bridges, and more

- Inspecting damaged wooden structures and buy the ones who have the resources and expertise to fix them

- The projects associated with carpentry include flooring, walls, windows, doors, insulation, and more.

Woodworking

Woodworking might be as old as carpentry. Possibly even older! The craft has existed since mankind created its first wooden objects. It was often associated with holiness for a completely different reason from carpentry.

Ancient civilizations would transform pieces of wood into idols for worship. As such, it was a commendable art even back in the day. However, with the help of modern technology, the field of woodworking has taken completely new heights.

While basic mathematics is still important when it comes to woodworking, it's nowhere near as vital as it is in carpentry. Instead, it focuses on a completely different kind of expertise. The use of machines.

A good modern woodworker is versed in the use of a plethora of machinery, whether it be shapers, routers, ect. There are a ton of machines that assist in woodworking.

Without the use of machinery, it would be impossible to create such intricate designs. Besides, it takes a lot of time, effort, and a huge degree of creativity. Yes, while math skills are still important, most priority shifts over to the artisans creativity. The more creative you are, the more impressive crafts you can make.

Essentially, woodworking is a craft that transformation wood to create products like cabinets, shelves, panels, beds, ect. Emphasis is placed on the design. There is practically no limit to the things woodworking can produce. As a result, different types exist which specialize in different methods of the craft.

Types of Woodworking.

- Carving : Involves carving the wood into a variety of creations with specialized knives or other tools.

- Furniture making : It's in the name. In this specialization, you take wood and transform it into the variety of different furniture. Including chairs, tables, beds, cabinets, ect.

- Turning : There are a plethora of gorgeous designs you can come up with by using a lathe. That is exactly what a turning involves.

- Luthing : You probably noticed most classical musical instruments are made of wood. Luthing is responsible for that. It's what creates and repairs the wooden instruments.

A quick summary

- The focus lies on artistry and creativity to form new objects

- Woodworking creates a plethora of products such as cabinets, shelves, tables, chairs, wooden showpiece, instruments, and more.

- There's extensive knowledge needed when it comes to operating a variety of woodworking machinery.

- Operations aren't enough, maintenance knowledge is equally as vital

- It usually takes place within a factory of a workshop

- Sanding and finishing projects is an essential part of woodworking.

Conclusion

At its core, woodworking is an art that creates products, while carpentry is normally construction work.

A Primer on the Stone Age Technology of Flint Knapping

Flint knapping is an ancient craft that involves creating stone arrowheads and projectiles. The projectiles served as essential weapons for hunting, warfare, and survival.

The technique involves precisely removing the thin layers of stone to shape and sharpen it into a functional tool. Humans have passed down the meticulous process through generations since the Stone Age. Some believe that various cultures developed independent techniques worldwide. Archaeologists suggest that the skill did not originate in a single area and then spread. Instead, diverse cultures learned and applied it separately.

Archeological evidence points to the use of rock and stone as materials for the earliest tools millions of years ago; the oldest stone dates back more than 60,000 years. In North America, some recovered spearheads date back at least 15,000 years. Before cultures adopted metallurgical techniques or in societies that didn't develop metalworking, flint knapping served as the predominant method for fashioning tools and weapons. Excavations have unearthed numerous flint-knapped stone artifacts, showing that it's easier to distinguish flint-knapped stones such as arrowheads than those from natural rocks.

The stone used for flint knapping mattered since every type did not provide a suitable fit, and some became common. Alongside flint, obsidian was a popular choice, as were quartz, chert, jasper, and chalcedony. The stones possess characteristics ideal for crafting tools and weapons and the necessary durability to withstand the demands of hunting and battles. While dense and hard, the rocks have the unique quality of fracturing in a clamshell or rounded conchoidal pattern, unlike other stones that break in linear or jagged manners when struck. The precision in fracture patterns gave early humans control over shaping the stones.

The predictable fracture patterns observed in flint, obsidian, and similar rocks made them particularly suitable for toolmaking using flint knapping techniques. Ancient humans likely learned through observation during natural events like landslides or earthquakes and through experimentation by striking rocks.

Accomplished flint knappers relied on hard and soft hammers to craft stone tools. Rocks such as granite, basalt, quartz, or other metamorphic and igneous material harder than flint would serve as a hard hammer. For more intricate work, flint knappers utilized soft hammers made from materials other than rock, such as bone, antlers, or sturdy wood. Depending on the intended tool or weapon, a flint knapper might need to refine a sharp edge before removing a flake to avoid chipping off too large a piece. To accomplish this, they would employ another stone, such as limestone or sandstone, to smooth the flint, like a woodworker uses sandpaper.

Flint knapping methods differed based on the task, cultural practices, the artisan's style, and materials. The process started by identifying a suitable stone, a core, which required altering into a flatter object resembling the intended final product. Initially, a hard hammer helped chip off parts of the original rock, gradually shaping the core, requiring precision over brute force. The knapper had to strategically hit the core's edge with the hard hammer to remove flakes.

Holding the core in one hand and the hard hammer in the other, the knapper meticulously struck the core to shape it from different sides and angles. After achieving the rough, the knapper shifted to a soft hammer, employing indirect percussion flaking for refinement. The knapper flaked off thin, clamshell-shaped layers by applying pressure to the chipped edge. Every strike to the core reduced its size, shaping it into a knife, hatchet, arrowhead, or digging tool.

Several ancient civilizations discovered that heating stones facilitated knapping. Gradually heating stones over a fire altered their texture, smoothing the surface and making them less grainy. Burying the heated rocks in hot sand transformed the composition and texture, creating smaller, sharper flakes for crafting more efficient tools and weapons.

At the end of that I went

Wooooow

And it reminded me of discussions I've been having about ancient Egypt and the Ancient Lost High Technology people (ALHT). These are the folks who insist that the Egyptians of the dynastic era -- aka the people of recorded/known history going back to the guy Egyptologists call the "First Pharaoh", Narmer -- did not build or create the megalithic monuments nor some of the objects mostly found in tombs because those monuments and objects show such precision and are made of such hard materials that they couldn't have been made with simple copper chisels and such.

When I was first introduced to this idea, I gave some credence to it. Though I must note that I did not and have never signed onto the idea that the "lost civilization" that allegedly created them was Atlantean or some lost white civilization as most of these people do. I grokked the racism in that immediately, but did not grok the other things wrong with the idea.

To be clear: Atlantis wasn't real, Lemuria isn't a thing, and Mu is right out. I do think there were earlier, advanced in ways our current archaeological paradigm doesn't accept, human-esque civilizations. And, if that's true, they were indigenous civilizations. They weren't influenced by aliens from Sirius or the Pleiades or the Galactic Federation. In the case of whatever went on in Egypt and the rest of North Africa, those peoples were African. Black People in today's way of labeling.

Moving on. I recently found out that one of the pieces of "evidence" the LAHT people give for why dynastic Egyptians couldn't have made these monuments or objects that have such precision and are made from super hard materials is that "it would have taken them too long" and thus no one would have done it.

Yes, I'm serious.

I knew that "evidence" was bunk when I heard it, and videos like the one above are the reason why. There are artisans today that create pigments, objects, decoration, metalwork, younameit, that involve multi-step, labor-intensive processes. Many processes that go back multi-thousands of years. The artisans that do this create things that are very expensive (and I hope they are highly paid for it!) in our time. In times past, artisans would do this work for the people in their society who could afford to "pay" them appropriately for it. Often: royalty.

I put pay in quotes because sometimes it wasn't a wage or direct exchange of money for goods. Those artisans had housing and food and clothing and other necessities provided by society (in some cases what we would call The State) because their job was to do the artisaning for the benefit of The State or Society. In ancient Egypt, that did not only mean the Pharaohs or the aristocracy.

They would not have had a sense of creating or crafting "taking too long" because it took as long as it took. Over time they came up with more efficient ways to do some things, of course. But they didn't have to worry about pumping things out at some fast pace just to get it out the door, like it was a sweatshop or a factory with terrible conditions and a quota. Obviously, things that took longer to make had a high value. But it's a different prospect when you understand not every person was being exploited for it. (Though I'm sure there has been exploitation going back as far as humanity.)

The fact that the LAHT people have no cognizance of a world with values that aren't post-industrial society or informed by capitalism is just one of their many problems.

It also shows a deep lack of curiosity about and understanding of how intelligent and resourceful people in ancient times and even prehistoric times were. One of the reasons I bought the whole "couldn't have been done with copper chisels" thing is because my concept of copper is modern and limited. I used to think of copper as kinda soft and pliable, so it made sense. This was before I understand the tiniest bit of metallurgy and someone explained how the ancients made basic copper much harder and thus more able to do the kind of chiseling they needed it to do.

It was also before I understood the roots of alchemy, which aren't woo woo magical. Alchemy is the materials science the ancient Egyptians developed over centuries so that they could more easily work with the stones and metals available in their area. And if they produced things so precise that it seems to some that only a modern process could have created them, it's not because the "lost technology" is something akin to our modern technology or alien technology. They had the time, they had the mandate, they had the support of their society, and they had hundreds, then thousands of years of knowledge passed down to them on how to do it.

Side Note: I've seen it theorized (and I agree) that these artisans were what we today would call neurodiverse. Hyperfixation is a great trait to have when you're doing this kind of work.

It's so important for people in general to know a bit about this so they don't fall into the nonsense the LAHT people are peddling, even just a little, as I did. Pushing back against nonsense is good in and of itself. There's also the part where I have an even greater appreciation of the skill and knowledge and innovation of our ancient ancestors. The idea that we, today, are so much more evolved and smart is ridiculous. We wouldn't have survived as a species without their skill and knowledge and the science they created. We would be so much poorer in spirit as a species without the beautiful, magnificent, meticulously crafted monuments and objects and clothing and jewelry those artisans were free to spend all that time on.

We still need that, as a species. So:

Pay artists. Support artists. Overpay artists.

Give us the ability to not have to worry every second about the rent and the bills and if we're going to be able to eat.

Honestly, no one ever should have to worry about that. But it does feel like artists and artisans are always treated as if we especially don't deserve it.

Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.

Accordingly, they have focused on improving tool durability, speed, and precision, with tool geometry and application-specific design also in focus.

Newer materials like cermet and polycrystalline diamonds (PCD) are stronger and more durable than the previously preferred High-Speed Steel (HSS) and Cemented Carbide. Creating the coatings that amplify tool strength leverages processes like Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). Adopting Industry 4.0 methods such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has resulted in greater efficiency, cost reductions, and increased tool longevity. Additive manufacturing can usher in novelly designed tools. Equally, digitalization has enabled encompassing sustainability in tool design and manufacturing.

Charting the Evolution of Cutting Tools The development of carbide cutting tools, now spanning a century, offers vital clues to the expectations from newer technologies. The invention of cemented carbide was a significant milestone in the search for tool-grade materials with the ideal levels of hardness and toughness. Characteristics of tool-grade materials include versatile applicability – they can cut through most metals and metallic alloys and better withstand heat and wear. Some of the breakthrough high-performance materials used for making industrial cutting tools as an improvement on cemented carbide include:

Cermet, which is a sintered alloy of Titanium Carbide and Titanium Nitride Coated carbides, wherein the strength of the carbide cutting tool is augmented using a film of diamond, diamond-like carbon (DLC), or aluminum layered using CVD or PVD. Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride (PCBN), whose advantages include extreme heat resistance and hardness The evolution of these materials is also a response to the application and the work material. For instance, PCD cutting tools are suitable for working on non-ferrous materials like high-silicon aluminum. The advent of carbon composites with laminated structures like Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) has also encouraged further research into tool materials. Developers have also investigated changing the tool geometry – for example, the shape and angle of the cutting edge – for milling or drilling into advanced materials precisely. Additive manufacturing, which involves fashioning 3D-printed cutting tool parts from metal powders, teases the possibility of imaginatively shaping cutting tools with greater complexity.

Responding to Process Challenges The wear and tear of cutting tools necessitates frequent repair or replacement. Tools with replaceable cutting tips, called indexable tools, help lower costs and simplify maintenance. The machining scale also matters; micro-drilling tools address reliability issues when machining small parts. On another front, metalworking fluids are invariably required to lower friction and preserve the tool but pose risks to workers’ health and safety. Altering tool composition or design has minimized the use of these fluids.

Metalworking fluids are invariably required to extend tool life

The heavy use and regular changing of cutting tools raise questions regarding their sustainable use. Using optimized materials that break down less easily reduces the tool replacement frequency. In this regard, AI-enabled sustainable manufacturing approaches like automating the selection of tooling materials, facilitating predictive maintenance, and leveraging sensors to detect tool damage can positively impact the entire cutting tool lifecycle from production to deployment and disposal or reuse. Improving the tools’ energy efficiency is also a step forward from a sustainability perspective.

Conclusion: Productivity or Price Despite the ever-growing demand and the continuous development of more productive and longer-lasting cutting tools, the market remains price-differentiated. Crucially, expenditure on cutting tools amounts to only 2-3% of the total production cost. Cutting tools manufacturers have a significant opportunity to evangelize high-tech cutting tools that more rapidly produce better-finished, higher-quality machine parts and yet do not massively increase tooling costs. The shift to custom-designed complex cutting tools can also push manufacturers to take a productivity-first stance when equipping their assembly lines.

CNC Plasma Cutters: The Ultimate Guide to CNC Plasma Cutter Machines

In the world of modern manufacturing and metalworking, precision and efficiency are key. One of the most advanced tools used to achieve this precision is the CNC plasma cutter. These machines offer high-speed cutting with unmatched accuracy, allowing businesses and hobbyists alike to create intricate designs and shapes with ease. In this article, we will explore what CNC plasma cutters are, how they work, the benefits they provide, and why they are indispensable for metal cutting applications.

What is a CNC Plasma Cutter?

A CNC plasma cutter is a type of machine that uses a plasma arc to cut through electrically conductive materials, such as steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, which means that the cutting process is controlled by a computer program. This automation allows for precise, repeatable cuts, making CNC plasma cutters ideal for industries such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and metal fabrication.

CNC plasma cutting combines two essential elements: plasma cutting technology and CNC automation. Plasma cutting involves the use of ionized gas (plasma) to melt and blow away material from a workpiece, while the CNC system ensures that the cuts are accurate and consistent according to pre-programmed instructions.

How Does a CNC Plasma Cutter Work?

At the heart of a CNC plasma cutter is the plasma torch, which creates the plasma arc. Here’s a breakdown of how the cutting process works:

Plasma Generation: The plasma cutter uses a high-pressure flow of air or other gases, such as oxygen or nitrogen, that is ionized to form plasma. This plasma is heated to temperatures higher than 20,000°C, allowing it to melt the metal on contact.

Torch Movement: The CNC system controls the movement of the plasma torch. The machine reads the digital file containing the cutting design and uses this information to move the torch along the precise path needed to cut the material.

Cutting Process: As the plasma arc moves across the workpiece, the intense heat melts the metal. The plasma also blows the molten material away from the cut, resulting in a clean and precise cut edge.

Precision and Control: CNC plasma cutters provide exceptional accuracy because the machine follows the exact path programmed into the software. Whether you’re cutting a simple shape or a complex design, the precision ensures high-quality cuts every time.

Types of CNC Plasma Cutters

There are several types of CNC plasma cutters, each offering unique features to suit different applications. The main types include:

Entry-Level CNC Plasma Cutters: These machines are ideal for small businesses or hobbyists. They offer basic features at a more affordable price, typically used for cutting thinner materials or smaller production runs.

Industrial CNC Plasma Cutters: Industrial-grade machines are built for high-volume production. They offer advanced features such as automatic height control, improved cutting speeds, and enhanced precision for thick materials. These machines are commonly found in factories, metal fabrication shops, and manufacturing plants.

Hybrid CNC Plasma Cutters: Some machines combine plasma cutting with other cutting technologies, such as laser cutting or waterjet cutting. These hybrid machines offer versatility for cutting a wide range of materials and thicknesses.
