I haven't posted on here yet, but a friend sent this to me and I thought it was an interesting hand tools only, not a measuring tool (not counting a jig) in sight kind of video.

It's black and white with no sound, but it doesn't really matter.

As for myself, I've just gotten interested in woodworking over the past two years and now that I'm out of college hopefully I'll have more time/resources.

so do they have a working village like that where modern day neanderthals can go to reminisce about good old times :eek:

That was a pretty cool video, I was impressed how functional their technique was, in that they achieved an awe full lot of work through just a handful of tools.

Does anyone have an idea what wood that would be..>

Europeans, it's up to you..!

Just the tools that were needed, Zahid. I imagine a good percentage of the old craftsmen were illiterate too.

Probably spruce. Every other tree seems like spruce in that part of the world :)

That was amazing. The shoemaker's bench/vice was rather ingenious, so simple. Now I want to find some tools to make some spoons!!!

Nice video!!!

It would appear from Wiki that Alder, Willow, Poplar, Birch and Beech were used, or whatever was readily available it seems.

The turners should check the video on the same page, second row, number 5 labeled "Vagnmakeri pa soder (utan ljud) 1932

I looked a few of the other ones and they are certainly fasinating. What a way to burn several hours on stuff that is truely interesting, as oppose to whats on normal TV these days.
