Fremad II Restoration - Compilation (2016-2020)

[@texgowing7359]

I am a master mariner, gaining my certificate in Hong Kong in 1970 with the Hong Kong harbour authorities in a very stiff series of written, practical & verbal tests. All my father's side of my family have been mariners from at least my G G Grandfather. To me, shipwrights are the top of the tree where joinery is concerned. To watch these young guys, masters of their trade utilize it & produce this picture of perfection still has me in awe even now @ 73 years of age. I salute each & every one of you, BRAVO she is beautiful a credit to you all. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@johnpayne8496]

What a fantastic compliment. It is such a pleasure to watch craftsmen use tools to create something quite beautiful.

[@grumblycurmudgeon]

Yeah... really makes you appreciate just HOW remarkable it was that ANY shipwrecked sailors were EVER able to affect repairs on their vessel enough to get it seaworthy enough to limp home, amiright? You not only needed someone ON BOARD with at least SOME working knowledge of how to DO this... they had to do it with whatever flora, tools, and junk they had lying around. Some part of me always envisioned just "cutting a couple dozen planks and gettin' to nailin'. Not, "cut a series of steam-bent 8m long boards that are a compound angle in EVERY dimension/orientation - with a sack of HAND TOOLS, then affix same to the body of the ship with braces, wedges, and chutzpah.

[@Whitemoore]

I am a woodworker myself and it is wonderful to see a younger generation working on this restoration, this should not be lost.

[@randallbates8891]

Thanks for showing us your work and not spending time telling us what you're about to do!

[@buffalobs]

I miss the work. Starting out in Sea Explorers @14 yrs. went on to college, then back to sea. Boat repair in the off season. Killed alot of fish in Alaska. Then fix and built alot of fisholds as Polar Star Boatworks. This brings back alot memories. Thanks guys.

[@patrickhamilton5829]

Building a construction that is curved in all planes is a whole other ball game than house construction. You really have to be Sharp and focused. Great job and heritage preservation! Western Norway sits on a unbroken chain of craftmanship of wooden boat building, handed down from shipsmith to apprentice over at least 1500 years.

[@robcrockett3519]

Ancient skills, new tools. Bravo gentlemen.

[@robwhite461]

Absolutely wonderful. Very heartening seeing young men that have learnt and are carrying on the heritage traditions. This video is particularly good because it shows the many techniques of wooden boat building in this one short film. It’s one of the best I’ve seen for that.

[@ИльяЗеленов-в4ж]

I have doubts about the correctness of using mechanical saws instead of axes. Because the processing with an axe closes the fibers in the bar, which prevents the bar from gaining water

[@jazmoko]

Makes you really appreciate the skills and efforts of the original builders, who operated with only hand tools. Even with modern power tools it's brilliant work.

Exactly. Where do you even begin on the scale like that. It’s like building a Hoover Dam with only a shovel and a bucket. 🙂

Really impressive that you were able to complete your master mariners certificate at such a young age. In 1970 I was 21 (four years older) and didn't know shit from putty.

[@kevinloughman3953]

Agreed. No to mention the lure of the sea....'Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.'

[@Ephilates2024]

Thank you from Argentina 🇦🇷 for sharing this so we can see the beautiful result of this ancient Norwegian craftsmanship. This speaks well of the craftsmen and also of Norway! 🇳🇴💪🏻

[@johnbagewll2321]

This is absolutely mind boggling. The fact that the original plan came out of someone’s mind and the builders had no where near the modern tools that these folks had. The men that restored this had pieces to mimic but that doesn’t take anything away from their skill set! They were phenomenal! What a great watch!

[@ser1on]

And that's all about one single boat but what about the galleon or the full fleet of the Spain or the England?

[@sj9918]

Marvellous way of looking at our ancestors brilliancy. Think about old generations, they didn't have any machineries to help their hard works those days.

[@gregwicker856]

It's so great that there are people still able to do these things from the past!!

I’m in love with the braced wedging used to guide these brilliant forms into alignment. This is truly one of my favorite videos ever

cant imagine what it was like in the days of the tall ships. the nitrate haulers..the p class ships .. without power tools. Building warships and utility vessels during that time had to have taken forever. beautiful craftsmanship

Bonjour, Euh, vous êtes ébéniste (moi aussi, 66 ans), mais "technicien en ébénisterie" ,😳😳??? Ça veut dire quoi? Plus de diplômes que d'expérience j'imagine. C'est quoi ces étiquettes ? André-Charles Boulle lui-même ne se serait jamais décrit comme "technicien en ébénisterie". Désolé, mais il faudrait peut-être descendre d'une coche mon petit gars. Bonne journée.

Can’t believe the thickness of the hull! Must have definitely needed some sort of dry dock for any work to be done in that epoch. Once in the water, I’m thinking it might have stayed in there unless you had 500 men. Love to see traditions that are not lost on today’s youth and the rest of the world is now able to watch and learn a little. Let’s hope data is not lost over millennium, this stuff may come to be useful once again. If those times ever come to pass, we will have no use for KZbin anyway.
