Häftiga och lärorika videor!

Älskar dessa filmer och hoppas kunna prova på detta någon gång! Tack så mycket!

Amazing! He appears to still have all his fingers and toes, so he must be doing something right. Thumb up.

How good is one of those smaller hewing hatches compared to modern hewing hatches like a Gränsfors 1900 ?

Tho I will never be cutting a log like this myself: I came because Talasbuan recommended this vid and I have a lot of respect and interest in this kind of craftsmanship,

can somone tell me a axe similar to the ace in the video for buying it in europe

How would you stack these to form a wall? large wooden plugs to hold them together with the one on top of it? you can't do the concave way you would normally stack a log cabin

Tack för en fin film med ovärderlig information!

Imponerande arbete! Tack för en intressant film.

Riktigt kul å se detta hantverk. Tack!

I really wish English subtitles were available

l can lmaglne gettlng g00d at thls d0lng lt every day, and Fast. Great VlD Thanks!

Sounded like a blue man concert at first. Great video.

How many will he finish in a day?

Amazing axe skills. I watched this vid about 3 years ago, I just had to watch it again. amazing.

Now you understand why the first bladed mills were called wood misers. 75% of the wood was wasted. Which is fine if you live in a country that needs lots of firewood, the problem is all wood burns, and A-grade wood like that being turned into unusable wood chips was too wasteful. The downside is that cut wood rather than split isn't as structurally strong and can hide faults.

Wherer is this ???

Wonder what he dresses the snap liñe with? A true artisan! Amazing!

This is by far the most skilled axe man I’ve seen, and his physical strength and endurance boggle the mind!

Du fortjener en flaske snaps for det!!

every culture had it's own version of squaring timbers.....the interesting part for me is to see the different methods and uses of the tools. It seems strange to me to not be using a bent-handled gull-wing broadaxe for the joggling and hewing stages, but that's how i was taught...others will use an adze to finsih the surface, while others never do.....but all are able to get a nice square timber at the end and you can't say it's wrong if the result fits the need. (and gives you something to discuss when you start comparing/contrasting the methods)

Welcher Zimmermann kann so was heute noch? Keiner der 500431 Schläge hat sein Ziel verfehlt. Profi

Amazing hand eye coordination!

Can he finish one hand hewn log in a day?? I’m tired watchin from my couch! 😂

This guy is so good with his axe you could have been a tree surgeon!

I don't understand the language but I do understand what he's doing. Thank you. I do understand as much as the horse does though. :)

Riktigt trevligt att se. Tack för ni förmedlat gammal kunskap som verkligen inte får försvinna. Mycket intressant.

What an odd design choice they made when building that church. Squaring all four faces seems like excessive squandered effort for aesthetic refinements that offer no obvious utility. Could have still achieved a consistent course-height while leaving two faces round. Granted the wall-thickness would vary some, but structurally it would be the same. Hewing all faces removes quite a bit of insulation as well. I really wonder why they chose that aesthetic? Particularly at a time when people were living hand to mouth and conserving energy was a top concern? I just find it a really perplexing choice. Perhaps it was simply 'conspicuous consumption.' Like the caste rich of the age keeping their fields mowed just to show off that they were so wealthy they didn't have to grow anything, they could simply buy whatever. Perhaps the church decided to use that design simply because they could afford to pay for the excess labor, and people of the time would have certainly had an appreciation for it in a way we couldn't. Knowing the additional labor which went in to each piece. Perhaps it would be better to say 'conspicuous devotion' for a church though? Willingness to sacrafice time/energy for no obvious benefit, as a way of showing devotion perhaps. It really is just a strange choice to me.

What are the dimensions of the axes? Fine work!

09:00 Väldigt intressant och det är väl inte mer än rätt att dagens moderna skogsbruk får sig en känga. "Det är bara ogräs...", vilket är den sorgliga sanningen. Majoriteten av alla "skogar" är snart mellan 0-40 år (Skogsdata 2019) och omloppstiderna ligger mellan 60-80 år. Artfattiga monokulturer som inte duger för timring med andra ord. :/

A man with a lot of knowledge and a lot of expiriens in the lumber industri witch should not be forgoten.

Riktigt intressant att se. Verkar lite farligt dock att inte använda skyddsutrustning i högre grad när man handskas med den obrända kalken i alla led.

Intressant och trevligt att gammal kunskap finns kvar! Men folk på den tiden fick nog slita lika hårt som hästarna de använde, med en massa skador till följd.

English translation of video description: " Carpenter Olof Andersson prepares a log with ax. The film is filmed May 13-14, 2014, in Södra Råda, Värmland (right next to the border with Västergötland). Audio, camera and editing: Gunnar Almevik and Christina Persson. A film from the Craft Laboratory." The location is in Sweden. The Craft Laboratory at the University of Gothenburg is an organization dedicated to preserving craft knowledge. craftlab.gu.se

just hitting a like button just doesnt do this justice... Craftsman!!

Great work! Beautifull outcome!

I would really love to see this with subtitles . Hello from sunny Scotland.

Great work. Where did you purchase that axe from? Type and manufacturer?

Så roligt att se olika sätter. Jag undrar alltid var man kan köpa yxor som de använder här..?

varför härdar man stål? för att den ska bli starkare?

Love the rhythm and sound

Finally chopping away the critical holding wood after 20:00.

He finally took a 5 second break at 28 minutes!

Absolutely amazing to watch this man work you can learn a lot from just watching no words have to be spoken and yet the lesson is taught

å vel jeg trodde dette var i Norge men ser at det er det svenske landskap

How does he know what height (the second, taller cut) to make it? The first was done with the with of the board, but I didn't see him make any measurements. I hope this question makes sense. If not, let me know and I'll try to explain.

Impressive log splitter at 5.40.

I'm guessing that at 22:18 he is describing that the large chunks mean there is little waste as it can be used for other things.?

Beautiful work but he is working pretty hard. Is that axe really lightweight?
