Me: [Looking at the clock past my bedtime] KZbin: "Wait, here's a video about traditional Norwegian barrel-making." Me: "Sure."

[@charliespinoza1966]

I have chronic migraine and these videos are soothing to my head and soul, as well as beautiful and educational. I have begun sharing them with my children.

[@norwegianwiking]

The waterfronts in the sound between Haugesund and Karmøy is still recognizeable 53 years later. That building may still stand there today.

On behalf of mankind, I beg you to be so kind as to upload the whole nordic crafts series

[@TaiganTundra]

Veldig terapautisk å se på gammedags håndverk :)

[@truebornsonofliberty554]

This series is fascinating. Although craftsmanship like this is lost to modernity, these videos will help preserve the history. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

[@Shnick]

They still make barrels like this in Lebanon MO.

[@OmmerSyssel]

You'll find this craft kept alive several places in Europe.

thx from France for sharing this kind of video , very valuable in human history

[@felixthecleaner8843]

awesome craftsmanship!

[@DaneStolthed]

It’s amazing that we still manufacture and use traditional wooden barrels today.

[@suzannesolarik4802]

When in Norway visiting family, we got to see barrels still being made like this at the Tønnegarden in Holmefjord. They also make yummy food like rauddravle. Worth a visit.

[@iamaksel]

Please dont speak of dravle as delicioius its the work of sosiopaths

[@search4truth616]

When the machines grind to a halt, the craftsmen will reimerge. We must preserve the old ways for that day.

[@bobbymancini9069]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. I wish there were still shop trades like this around instead of all this modern plastic junk that just falls to shit after a short amount of time..

[@goognamgoognw6637]

just absolutely amazing and mesmerizing.

[@gregmarquis1886]

Thank you so much for uploading this video. I always wanted to know how this was done. Again, thanks.

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

Isn't a Norweigian film unless they praise the almighty Herring

[@GeekWarrior77]

These TCoN vids continue to amaze me

[@jojomama4787]

I'm glad that i can watch this usefull video, thank you for historical video.

[@rogerscottcathey]

my great grandmother Kruse whittled an miniature oaken vat that was water tight, and girded by debarked willow bands.

[@jeffkatzer]

Fascinating!

[@finpainter1]

[@SideBurn12]

Ah, you fixed the audio. Nice 👍 Cant wait for the next one!

[@neemantools]

Yes, we fixed it and reuploaded!

[@tyrvidar]

That was bad ass, thanks for sharing!

[@goognamgoognw6637]

learn to speak proper english.

[@tyrvidar]

You forgot to capitalize the L at the beginning of your sentence. I wasn't speaking, I was typing. I'm guessing I have a better grasp of English than you do just by look at your profile.

My grandfather was a barrelmaker, but the company had to shutdown due to low demand :(

[@OmmerSyssel]

That's the way things goes when other products become available & popular. Still you'll find whiners angry at IKEA and whathavewe. Guess what there surrounding is filled with...

[@stianvaka]

i think i'm related to this person.

[@livedandletdie]

It's a possibility. It isn't a common name in Norway. It is not like Johansen or Håkonsen or Andersen...

[@mikejustice1196]

He was making 10 a day or assembling 10 a day giving credit where it’s due to the other coopers making the parts? Lids Hoops Staves

[@erich.marks0]

On dirait qu'à cette époque les artisans travaillaient à l'oeil et sortait du très bon travail. Le seul instrument de mesure c'est un compas! et encore c'est pour tracer.

[@marktrusty8976]

I would like to know how to make these

[@gandalfthegrey2699]

how would you open it after the lids are put on? I've always wondered

[@jamiet9554]

Slackening the hoops opens the staves up enough so you can remove the end/lid.

[@phookadude]

is Haugesund perhaps the source of the term hog's head?

[@OlliWilkman]

Probably not. Haugesund as a town is relatively young, though the name is older. The name, from haugr+sund, means "hill strait" (or sound). The etymology of hogshead is uncertain, but it's possibly a corruption of "ox head", since various Germanic and Scandinavian languages have a word like that.

[@rexmundi3108]

If your last name is Cooper you came from barrel makers.

[@Mooskislide]

Can anyone explain why the staves dont fall inwards?

[@jamiet9554]

Because of the shape of the staves and the hoops holding them together in place. That's why it's important the cooper gets the right angle on the joints of the staves.

[@flatlinesup]

did you upload this again?

[@neemantools]

Yes, we had to fix the sound.
