Making a set of bellows - video from Townsends

The YouTube channel “Townsends” is all about 18th century living history. While their main focus is on food and cooking, they also have a series of videos about recreating an 18th century homestead with period materials and techniques. In this video, they show the construction of a set of double-acting bellows.

Townsends makes great content! They have more videos where they use these bellows, my only concern is that the bottom lung might be too small compared to the top lung, as they seem to have trouble keeping constant airflow by filling up the top lung.
