Mastermyr tool box tour

Excellent collection! Inspiring for my build!

Good luck Peggy.

A very nice collection and a pleasure to see. I have doubts about the rustic looking handles on some of the tools. They look cool, but when used a lot those type of handles result in bad blistering of the hands, especially with things like an axe. I know this from first hand experience and am fairly sure that ancient man, as I quickly did, would smooth the handles for practical reasons.

[@svenskildbiter1434]

Sadly, I don't get to use these tools often enough to find out.

Very ASMR

Any time dear lady.

The stray axe from near where the Masteryr Box was made by Arnold of NEMAS.

That frame saw is amazing I want one where can I get a blade?

[@svenskildbiter1434]

You can use any straight saw blade for a 'Bow Saw' from a tool store. www.bunnings.com.au/cyclone-21-green-bow-saw-blade_p3361183

[@hugoakerlund5114]

the mastermyx tool chest was found in Gotland Sweden not Denmark

[@svenskildbiter1434]

Yep, mea culpa. Thanks.

[@ako456]

Masteryr is located in SWEDEN! Not in Denmark.

Yeh I know, I did not have a script.

You know that the 'trivet' isn't a trivet? They're crampons! They were held in place over shoes with a leather strap. If you Google 'viking crampons' there's plenty info out there. I made some and always wondered why such a valuable material of the time would be used to make such a rubbish pot stand. Put the, on your feet and suddenly those smooth soled turnshoes aren't nearly as deadly to walk in anymore!

[@svenskildbiter1434]

That makes sense. I need to get another one made to try it out.

[@osricsbruk]

@@svenskildbiter1434 I made a non matching pair experimenting with different ways of making. I gave the better one to a friend and I kept the ugly one. I also made a few scaled up versions with 4" legs which do work well as actual trivets but they look odd. I've been ill for the last year but just about ready to fire up the forge again. I'm making a 1:1 scale matching pair which I'll be trying out slippy wet grass, mud, snow and ice to see how upright I stay. I'm also making some better trivets, got some half forged small T axes to finish asap and eventually I'll have a tool chest full of period correct tools almost all self made. I'm not really one for showing off, but I'm getting better at that😃 Looking forward to seeing your crampons in action, All the best!👍
