When I was an apprentice we had a Swede working with us and what he couldn't do with his small axe was incredible.
The first time I saw him use it was when we fiting a new floor in a very old and rough wavey colonial wall in Windsor. There was the last board to fit against this wall, he picked up a 6.0m length, looked at the shape of the wall and without measuring anything free hand profiled the edge by eye and it fitted perfectly with a 6mm to 10mm gap first time. No one questioned his skill after that.The person who never made a mistake never made anything
Cheers

He certainly ends up with a half-decent plank, but there are a few things that make me wonder. From the funny clobber & the deliberate way he's working, this has to be some kind of demonstration of olde timey methods - like one of those 'working villages' - I don't think he's getting paid by the plank! Just little things like how many turns he put on the string-line - three or four turns usually holds fine, you don't need 20. Then he winds up the string so laboriously on a spool - a 'figure 8' wind on a stick is about 4 times faster. And while he is undoubtedly skilled with that funny little axe, I reckon a 5 pounder would cut those vees in about 6 chops. Surely the Swedes knew about broad-axes - used the way the blokes in the Aussie video were using theirs, I reckon you'd get that plank out of a pine (Spruce? whatever it is) log in half the time.
Must be feeling hyper-critical this morning, & I guess I did too much piece-work in my wastrel youth - always looking for the most result from the least effort....
Cheers,IW

It looks like it’s a project to restore a medieval church. The title of the clip translates to “wood processing - the reconstruction of the southern line medieval church.”
