  • Shakes (wooden shingles) are a roofing product that is typical
    of the Alpine areas. The raw material used to produce them is spruce. Starting from an around 110-cm long spruce log, the maker splits it into several segments and uses two 10-cm thick outside bands, discarding the core. These segments are then split into shingles on a special bench. The maker uses a shake axe (froe) and a wooden or rubber mallet. The shingles are then tied into bundles and air dried. Peter Kos covers roofs with shakes in Austria and Slovenia, especially church buildings.

    The best thing you can say about a Slovene man is that he is "priden", which translates as diligent. Not "top bloke", "cool dude", "good guy", but diligent. Yard is tidy, hard worker or "delaven", good neighbour, everything is as it should be.

    Ah yes, the missing index finger. The mark of a true workman who has spent many years around power tools. Reminds me of my old woodwork teacher in high school back in the 1970's.

      My woodwork or metalwork teacher, I forget which one. Had part of a finger missing at my secondary school in the 1960s in the UK
