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 will discover what it takes to make everything from scratch. His mission is to understand complex manufacturing and production processes that are often taken for granted, doing it all himself. Each week he'll travel the world to bypass the modern supply chain in oder to harvest raw materials straight from the source. Along the way, he’s answering the questions you never thought to ask. Andy is learning How To Make Everything! Thank you to our patrons for making this series possible!

In today's episode, we're exploring an interesting hypothetical artifact known as the Baghdad Battery. Let's see if we can produce our very own battery using the available technologies from today and around 200 BCE. Thank you to everyone who has donated to our GoFundMe!
