Log Boat or Dugout Building in Finland in 1936

[@Fuxjaga]

It's good to see such old documentaries. It helps to prevent these skills from getting lost. Woodcraft at it's best!

[@jpm83]

The wood used was aspen (populus tremula). The black stuff is pine tar and it is used in softening the wood by heating it and the boat over fire. And the tar is also applied as a finish and sealer of the wood. Janne M. Finland

this is cool. thank you for sharing. I build dugouts too. this is great. I like how he was taping to hear how thick the wood was.

[@ravenfeather7087]

They may be harvesting what was in this area was called "marsh hay". It was used as food and bedding for cattle. Pioneers in this area (Wisconsin near Lake Michigan) harvested what were naturally occurring wetland plants during years when wetlands were dry enough to get horses and light equipment onto ephemeral wetlands. Not sure that's what those folks were doing but it looks like it. And it looks like a lot of work!

[@ruokanen4163]

they are getting it to horses and cows to feed them.everyone didint have so much field to get it so they dry that.

I hadn't seen anyone use a travois like the one shown at 5:59 and on to haul marsh hay. That's a great tool to add to the toolbox. :-)

The number of hours it took for these men to hallow out and shape this one Dugout boat would have stopped most people from even trying to complete a project like this. By 1936 there were many types of manufactured boats available for purchase. Evidently the men could not afford to buy a boat or they are keeping a Tradition Alive that has been a part of their culture for Generations.

[@pr7049]

This was thousands of years old tradition and these men were the last ones making them.

This same siberian dugout canoe building method is still common in siberia with the natives there. Its called haapio.

[@fatherlandchild2780]

@@gx8con17 Strange. Haapio doesnt sound very russian to me.

[@gx8con17]

@@fatherlandchild2780 Thats the name in finland and also why would it sound russian when it has nothing to do with russians? I was talking about the native population in siberia not the russians. This method is pretty common in siberia allthough there migh be some little differences. Like those things in the middle are bit different.

@@gx8con17 Siberians are russians so that pretty much has something to do with Russia.

[@gx8con17]

@@fatherlandchild2780 Siberian native people obviously have their own languages also,, and siberia was not russia until russians conquered it... And i think the name for this is actually similar to haapio in siberias mansi and khanty languages if i remember correctly. Not sure was it or what the word was because cant find where i read it. Finnish language is from same language family as samoyed, khanty and mansi though so.. from siberia.

Can someone please say what they were harvesting in the shallow water.?

[@zoltanpalyi8044]

The harvested sedges were good for litter in the stalls of domestic animals.

I have no idea about technical facts, but 1. finnish people aint vikings/swedes! 2. these boats are also built deeper in siberia..

@Finnic Patriot Finland is a Nordic country dummy. Nordic countries: Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark. Scandinavian countries: Sweden, Norway, Denmark. Finland is also part of Fennoscandia. For some people it's too hard to understand that Nordic and Scandinavia isn't the same thing...

[@gx8con17]

@@1992Tuomas We don't need the title "nordic" to nothing. Its complitely useless and confuses people to think that we are related. Also nordic has second meaning too. Nordic also means northern germanic or at least it used to mean at one point. We are not germanic. so no we are not nordic people.

Должен быть больше развал борта у корыта. И нахрена такие массивные корабели, и так много. Это такая тяжесть. Доска надсада должна крепиться верхним краем по периметру и свешиваться вниз, образовывать карман между стенками корыта через них пришиваться к корабелям. А так большая вероятность, что корыто треснет при ударе о препятствия. Самое главное, не показали, что болван часто дырявитсся и вставляются пробки из мягкой древесины, чтобы снять в нем напряжения и предотвратить раскалывание при разводке и эксплуатации.
