The Viking way - Woodwork

In June 2016 the project managers of Hands on History and Trondheim Vikinglag hosted the even The Viking way. The event was located in the deep Norwegian forest in Trøndelag. Our goal was to reenact a group of Vikings surviving on and of nature.

MUSIC IS REALLY SOFT AND I LOVE IT !!!!!!!! big up for musican artist who made this sound im out of words im just listening

[@ferbikevlx2313]

I am a carpenter and many hand tools that I saw in the video are still used today until their old lathe that uses the foot and a rope to turn the wood, only that it is already electric

[@mooseknuckle8334]

Fantastic piece of equipment. Best lathe ever!

[@sousalarson6858]

I need to see so much more about that foot powered laithe!

[@dr.lexwinter8604]

Try and search the term 'pole lathe' - we've had them for several thousand years they aren't a rarity. :)

[@bobbertbobby3975]

i really like this. it shows thet they wernt as primative as ppl seem to want to think. you watch shows where there is NO decoration or anything on the chairs and tables and other every day items. they show the chairs and tables and candlesticks as crude hand carved things lumps of wood barely carved to shape...spring pole lathes were not uncommon at all...and with those turnings are as easy as modern just a bit slower. they turned ornate decorations for even the common houses. not all dirt covered men and women in dull browns either.

[@kevinperez7555]

Good God why all the negative ass comments these folks are just trying to experience a little heritage and relate to their ancestry if you don’t like it fuck off. The music was awesome and they looked genuinely happy. Great vid guys.

[@rickschuman2926]

Up until this, I had only seen Vikings turning bowls and carving furniture legs.

[@vikingblood0408]

I continue to work wood as my ancestors did!

[@wyrdwildman1689]

I am interested in learning the ancient ways of my ancestors. I have a grasp of how to with modern tools. I would like join you in the village.

[@markn.reprisal9472]

They were FARMERS and SHIP BUILDERS and routinely ruined good Cod fish and turned it into Lutefisk that centuries later certain children in certain Norse heritage families were tricking into eating a certain family get togethers so the adults could take "cute" pictures and laugh heartily......uh...my 'friend' told me. And, "Viking" is a JOB description.

[@daginn896]

@@andersd8956 Its not slimy at all, if it is your doing it wrong. Ive seen some videos about lutefisk over in America, and it looks nothing like lutefisk in Scandinavia. And still in Scandinavia, many does it all wrong.

[@fatalflux4835]

Im remeber going to our Norwegian hall cod feast as a kid. My dad tricked me into eating lutefisk. Never trusted the bastard again after eating that slimy shit.

[@dr.lexwinter8604]

They also didn't have tattoos. Let alone time travelling Qurannic artwork depicted in an ink that wasn't invented for almost a thousand years as Ibn Fadlan described. But hey, he's the ONLY source for tattoos (on Rus people, not ours) and yet for some reason people still trust the guy that said a horse can fly to the moon and back and the sun sets in a muddy pond. It boggles my mind.

[@wyrdwildman1689]

Kyle Martin are you familiar with Society of Creative Anachronism or Living History? not hippies.

[@GrimOrc]

Most Norsemen were farmer.

[@SaitoGray]

Not really. Even at sea most of them were merchants.

[@LugusW]

You don't know Norsemen shut up.

[@lostboy7105]

You know very little of the culture, behavior and beliefs of my ancestors. Get over the image of the Northmen you have been fed via the "history" the Christians wrote down. The northmen were an accepting people, each man was allowed to be his own and do as he liked. I'm sure you know nothing of the 9 noble virtues and think of the "Vikings" as a horde of barbarian invaders bent on rape, murder and theft. I bet you are unaware that the northmen were nearly obsessed with grooming and personal hygiene, bathing weekly (Saturdays typically) in a time in history when it was common for "civilized" societies bathed an average of 4 times a year...

[@juliocervantes4994]

They got the filthy part right.

[@magnusorn7313]

you mean like how they are all clean?

[@belesariius]

Not enough tattoo's and according to Ibn Fadlan, waaaay too clean :) but great to see and share , thanks :)

Maybe it's saturday?

[@darnokthemage170]

Fadlan met Rus, we dont know if the tatoos were viking or slavic.

[@AudioJeep]

@@darnokthemage170 arabs talk about viking traders being tattooed. there are also other sources too

[@snapperl]

Something tells me that if REAL vikings could see these goofs struggling to use their archaic tools instead of the equipment they had today, they would call them idiots and buffoons to say the least. Making a boat because you need it to survive and feed your clan is totally different from making a boat for S&Gs or for facebook/youtube.

[@GrimOrc]

You get mad pretty easy huh?

[@Wargsy]

Fun fact. They werent called Vikings, they were called northmen or scandinavians among other things. Vikings is generally a term used for raiders or plunderers. Easiest way to explain it Viking means Pirate in our language today.

[@narejongen]

lacking a correct historic view, but believing TV-shows are a reality makes you apart. But if you really need to know, in them days they were actually bikers that sang along with medieval rolling-stones songs, high on meth.

[@Wargsy]

Lmao, to be honest. I'd believe that theory more then 99% of the TV show theories haha

[@narejongen]

The word viking means nothing more than traveller. I believe they were not called that by most of their fellow middleagers at that time. Rather 'dane' or whatever suited. The word 'viking' caught on later indeed.
