Wow, I never would have guessed it was going to be clown lipstick!
It's the age-old question: Which is worse? Flavoring something with pre-digested coffee beans, or old t-shirts?
Grinding wheel and spherical frying pan are both interesting though.

You have to visualize and follow his whole process to fully appreciate what he is doing.
First he boils the old T shirt. this gets it clean free of contaminants. Then he cuts a swatch to use as a transfer medium and sealing the fibers by coating the swatch in cooking oil much the same way one would cure a cast iron skillet by burning the oil into it, allowing the oil to be baked into the swatch and onto the sphere effectively making it nonstick. The grinding of the boiled rice makes it have a consistent in texture about the viscosity of milk. He uses the oiled swatch to transfer the rice milk like substance to the sphere and cooks that into thin layers then piles several of those to make sort of a layered flat bread applies his filling of whatever he chooses and makes Barito like roll. I imagine it to be quite tasty as well. You just have to get around the stigma of the swatch once being a T shirt it could have been any cotton cloth.
Learning the ways and means of how things can be done in primitive ways could be very important for survival should the world be thrown back into a less technological era.
Two things. He is smart. And he is having fun doing this. There is humor in his videos as much as there is practical learning and application.
This one is more palatable, and he's got a sweet ride. They're planting some sort of TCM mushrooms.

Those little 2 wheeled tractors had lots of uses. My 1960ish Gravely commercial 10 A had an in-numerable amount of attachments back in the day but the only thing I have for it is a 60" front mower deck and a Sulkey
Notice the stone headed hammer with the steel handle, and the bandage on his big toe!!!.
I am curious to know what was going on with that trench full of buried logs and what did he put in with them?
I still use my Gravely 10A. 36" deck, 40" deck, 50" deck, regular sulky, steering sulky, plow, cultivator, snow blower. Love it when we have enough snow to run it in low gear, blowing a chute full of snow 50-75 feet across the yard.
