How To Use A Lucet Fork

[@APinchOfHistory]

Hi, I need your feedback! Feel free to answer these questions or comment on something different. What did you like about this video? What did you dislike? How could I improve next time? What do you think about the intro?

[@lizj5740]

I liked the flowers and the lady bug, and I liked the setting, and I liked hearing about the history of the lucet. I disliked that you seemed not to have practiced using the lucet with linen thread, yet I'm sure you would have practiced. Maybe it is just a really fiddly operation. Most importantly, I wanted to see the finished cord. I don't remember the intro particularly. I'll go back and watch again. Ah, pockets--or the lack thereof. I found it a good intro to the topic.

@@lizj5740 Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for, great info :)

I like the video overall; the music, setting, your clothing, your call explanation and the different video shots. 1 small bit of criticism: the music in the intro was a bit too loud for my taste. Thank you for making this content, I subscribed! Greetings from Belgium.

@@jannes3290 Thank you! The feedback is great. By intro, you mean the first line I said or the "graphic intro"?

This could have been a bit longer to show more results, but I blame it on the rain... Well done in any case!

[@APinchOfHistory]

Exactly, I was planning to do that, but you can't win with the weather, thanks!

I'd like to have seen a little more of the finished product if possible next time. Thank you for the video though.

[@APinchOfHistory]

Yeah I was planning to do this, but just got caught by the rain :D

@@APinchOfHistory I grabbed a lucet from Vikefest (battle of a thousand spears) based on this video :) Just wanted to follow up.

@@HamishHendrikson Awesome!

It rains on the rich, it rains on the poor, it rains on producers of fine videos. I like the informality of these wonderful “pinches”.

On a different matter, the photography and the music were excellent.

[@APinchOfHistory]

I'm happy to hear this!

I’m looking for documentation for lucet cords in England, circa 1400. I’ve found them in Anglo-Saxon England and in the American colonies, but nothing in between. Have you had better luck?

[@APinchOfHistory]

Well, as said in the video, it seems they wained out of use in the period 12th - 17th centuries. The archeological finds from this period are very rare.

I hope against hope.

[@ggmtv1394]

I wondered why the forks were so long.

[@APinchOfHistory]

You mean the prongs? The lucet I'm using is actually more like post-medieval ones. In Middle Ages, these prongs were often quite a lot shorter.

[@mottthehoople693]

how smart is that? Someone had some nouce to figure that out...certainly an original thinker

[@wnrr2696]

You’re voice reminds me of the Dr. Wily KZbin channel about Zelda stuff

[@APinchOfHistory]

I gotta check that out now

Wouldn't a crochet hook make it easier?

[@APinchOfHistory]

Can't really tell. I haven't used a crochet hook.
