I saw this on SMC and thought there were some folks here that might get a kick out of it. I didn't understand the captions but the work spoke for itself. http://svtplay.se/v/1371063/oppet_ar...004,1,f,103007

Neat video James!
That's got Roy Underhill all over it if I've ever seen anything! Wonder if he's ever done any Swedish Woodworking programs? I've seen a few German.
Mike Davis needs to see the spoon making footage. Looks similar to the process I've seen here.

I'm not a linguist, but if it's sabots they're making you might get Bas to pitch in with a translate.

I'll tell you what really amazes me - no vices, no clamps, unless you want to call the log on legs with a couple of wedges a bench and vice! Their bodies are essentially another tool. There is a lot to learn from those who have gone before us. Thanks for sharing the great video

Man, I need a forge! Those old tools were so much more efficient than today's in some cases. I mean i wouldn't give up my jointer and planer (and seriously a tablesaw?) no WAY! On the other hand, I'd like to see a pure power guy do some of those operations.
I have seen most of those before. Some of the British boards I hang out on bring them up quite often.
There is a clip of a Romanian guy making a spoon that will blow you away. You have to be making those things everyday to get fast at it. I have seen some of the old guys make a spoon in three minutes with just an ax and a couple knives. It takes me a couple hours.

So why do I feel inadequate with my $5000 worth of power tools and accesories?
I guess I should stop my whining about not having a dedicated mortiser and a ..........
Thanks for sharing a cool video. I am passing that on to some friends.

These guys are my heroes. The old style takes time, muscle and practice but I think this way of working is very rewarding. It is one heck of a workout too. PS Love that farm!
