they'd join the wood

>>51657909
Harder wood.

>>51657909
Joinery and wooden dowels. Not difficult, just a different skill-set. Japan did it a lot I believe in their history.

Better question is what do we make our tools out of? Changing the method you make furniture is one thing, suddenly going from iron smithing to stone knapping is going to be bloody difficult.
Also our coinage disappeared. That's another issue.

>>51657909
Its called a dowel retard, also technics exist to join wood using interlocking pieces.

>A wizard stole all of the metal
fuck off, nothing can defeat the metal, THAT WIZARD WOULD BE SMOTE TO THE GROUND

we're going to find the wizard and kick his teeth in until he gives us the metal back.

This large church was built without using any nails, only pegs and holes. So no problem at all.

>>51657909
Dovetails.

>>51657909
better question is how do they live without good music?

>>51659054

Most metal is shit tier, overwrought nonsense that mostly appeals to adolescent fantasies about what qualifies as badass.

the metal will live on.

To be fair, you can't really make a piano out of plant matter or animal fibers that will sound the same.

>>51657909
They'd use wooden nails. Just like they did 99% of human history - metal nails were actually too expensive for commoners till late Medieval, in some parts till Renaissance, and in China till the middle of XX century. Also they kept using wooden ones for ship-making since seawater eats iron in no time.

>>51659078
>Most metal is shit tier
Most music is shit tier.

>>51662271
Agreed, but we would be seriously fucked for quite some time regardless if that happened to us.

Continue listening to niggers hooting about fucking your girlfriend, then.

A group of adventurers kills the wizard and all the metal is returned.

>>51662444
Most =/= all

>>51657909
Polymorph the wizard into a fairy
He would develop an aversion towards metal that would force him to give it all back
Then he'd fuck off and live in the woods with the other fair folk
Happy ending tbqh

Everyone in the kingdom fucking dies.

Lots of buildings have been build without nails. For example look at Japan or China. The problem wouldn't be we don't have nails, it would be our tools for making planks of wood, support beams, and ect. Even if no one knew how to join the wood, we could also just wrap the wood together. For example you kill a animal, soak it hide, then tightly wrap it around the two pieces of wood, and after it dries it would be even tighter.

I'd imagine they'd either use lashing or do something similar to the swamp houses on stilts in Thailand, some of which are made entirely of wood and built to be disassembled, carried, and reassembled elsewhere like puzzle pieces.

The latter is called joinery m8
Everyone used joinery, nails were expensive because you had to pay a man to hammer them all out individually.

>>51664444
Cool info, nice quads

>>51657985
>Japan did it a lot I believe in their history.

This, Japanese blacksmithing always lagged behind and their materials were exceedingly poor. They used joinery instead of nails because. Hell, the motherfuckers had to find things to use besides metal for even armor because their metalworking wasn't up to snuff to use the iron sands.

>>51664444
Joinery's still used to this day.

>>51657909
wooden pegs you knob.

Does anyone have any experience with stone tools? How good/bad is a well-knapped stone axe or woodworking tool to work with?

I vaguely recall a documentary where they were pleasantly surprised with how good stone tools were at their tasks, and it was more repair and manufacturing time issues that caused bronze and similar to supercede them than actual effectiveness.

Don't forget, there's also gemstones, things like ironwood (which is a real thing, by the way), bones and ivories and teeth and sandpapers and all kinds of materials to work wood with.

Hell, if you cut down on wood and use more sod, hide and stone to build with you don't need shit from metals.

>>51665378
How do you make them without metal blades?

>>51657985
I think we would just use flint and stone tools like in the pre-iron age. Flint can get sharp as fuck if you do it right, just dosent hold an edge for very long.

>>51657909
MONSTER HUNTER

Just use teeth as nails. All metal products replaced with bone and shell.

A far more interesting question is, "what lead the wizard to steel all the metal?"

You know people are just gonna think you can't spell, they only understand JoJo references, like in their Japanese Manganese.

I got it, but a good pun means something in both senses, this only makes sense in one.

>>51670750
Good word play makes sense in both ways, sure.
But there are no good puns. The best they can be is on-topic.

Yep. Until plastics and high tech ceramics come. And even after that it will be fucking hard.

>>51665355
And wooden nails and stakes too. If you want a really good country house made out of logs you need to pay people that know how to do it. Metal nails just don't cut it when you are dealing with whole logs.

>>51673904
Metal nails don't cut at all. They pierce.

Get fucked.

>>51659078
Like most music, only a very small percentage of metal is worthwhile. Unlike most music, people who play metal can, by and large, actually play their instruments. The lack of major cooperate influence and radio time based revenue make the musicians more authentic and passionate. Plus, literally everyone likes Ghost.

>>51662482
>tfw you actually trigger someone

>>51662444
Most is of course, not all. That said in particular the power metal that nerds are so fond of is usually garbage that tries to be what prog was to punk.

>>51669556
Literally Karn. Someone wants to build an artificial plane because they hate the earth, and they're going to utilize the earth's metal to forge a new world in their image.

Also, if all the metal disappeared, would the earth be hollow? All that molten iron in the core needs to go somewhere.

>>51674771
Anon, you know very little of metal. Current power metal is a combo of prog and 80's hair metal done pseudo-ironically. They just skip the masturbatory breakdowns and bullshit jazz segments. Just like the current wave of thrash is more like Austrian Death Machine than Voivod, metal is actually really good at the moment because it's so self referential. That being said, you can only listen to so much Hammerfall before you wind up in a nerd coma.
