    Default Amazing woodwork video from 1923

    I don't know whether you guys have seen this or not but its a video of traditional woodworking in Sweden from 1923, these guys have some skill, I like the 2 man hand plane and just the fact everything is so utilitarian but perfect for the job.


    I have it embedded in my blog

    Handmade kitchens

    Just click the link in the blog.

    It's one of those videos I could watch over and over and just marvel at the craftsman ship.

    I got the video OK. That wood must be very soft, and those tools must be very sharp.

    Being Scandinavian I would expect Spruce. I love how these men give their whole bodies to their art. Fantastic stuff thanks for posting!

    what impressed me was the final planing AFTER the chair was assembled.

    as to the apparent speed of the workers -- I'm guessing that like much of the older B&W footage the original was filmed at 18 frames per secomnd and we're watching it replayed at 25 frames
