The guitar inset is a nice touch. The control you have swinging the broad axe is incredible! Instead of a Granberg mill, how would the Vikings have made the ribs? Riving followed by hewing? A pit saw? Not sure what kind of saw technology they would've had.

[@LucasRichardStephens]

I think all axe, with a lot of wastage. Saws did exist but none have been found in Scandinavia as far as I know of archiological finds.

Lucas, I enjoyed your video on the truing and planing of the "cross rib?" of the long boat. That was some incredibly tough wood to work given the variability of the grain. It looks like you were using an old Stanley plane for the the finishing work. You were getting quite a bit of plugging up of the iron/chip breaker. This morning I came across a very interesting KZbin channel; Wood by Wright. This is a KZbin channel dedicated to using almost entirely older hand tools. The video of the day was something that jumped out at me as it may help you set up you plane to reduce plugging. I think you will like this fellow's work if you have not seen it before. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYLdfZeDqKx2p80

That is an interesting channel Thanks Mark. My plane is set up pretty much as is described in that film. It would have been fitting to use at least one other plane to take the heavier work and allow the stanley no. 4 to do the finishing, which is it's designated function. I am pushing it a bit beyond it's most fitting use here. The period correct tools that the Vikings used for this work is just like a drawkife with the tangs set into a block of wood. It is quite effective but very hard on the wrists of the craftsman, something that makes me imagine that the axe would be used right up to the very last stage.

[@LucasRichardStephens]

I rechecked the footage, the chip braker didn't plug up once in that 18 minute segment, maybe what you could see was just the short fibres in the well, from working across the grain.

Wow this video shows it coming along nicely , 👍
