In this video I go on a journey to create and experiment with the mythical clay-like copper amalgam while making some ultrafine copper powder and going through a whole character arc with Songping Wu along with having to dump a week of my work.

Also, excuse me for my poor speaking, English is not my native language so I have some trouble with pronunciation, in case you don't understand something there are always subtitles made by me.
