    The green woodworking course that I attended was held by the Northmen Guild in Latvia! If you haven't seen their youtube channel here it is:
    www.youtube.com/@northmenguild
    If you want to do the same course as I did or any other by the Northmen check out this link:
    northmen.com/en/courses/traditional-joinery-and-green-woodworking/apply-for-a-course
    For the past three years the Northmen Guild have been working on a unique project, the construction of a historically faithful, timber framed forging workshop to act as a new centre for the Guild’s blacksmiths. Their aim is to create a space where blacksmiths from all corners of the globe will be welcome to practise their craft, share their expertise, and create beautiful and functional works of art. It will also be open to the public to visit as part of the wider woodworking museum and forest park at “Vienkocu Parks, Ligatne." A further aim for the forge is to educate beginners, amateurs and enthusiasts by offering intensive, two to three week long training courses in blacksmithing, similar in style to the woodworking course I attended. Designed and constructed in large part by a small team headed by master blacksmith and timber framer Soeren Uhlmann, the building has risen steadily over the months and now stands close to completion. One final push is necessary to finish and round off the project. Whilst the building stands ready, it is empty of much of the specialist equipment required for a fully equipped, multi functional blacksmithing workshop to reach its full potential. If you want to support the project, please follow the link to their crowdfunding project below.

      Should probably tell so others don't get confused, it's expected to take 12-14 months to make it (as they probably get a lot of backorders), is mostly just wondering if I'll get it this month or next or if it's forgotten/delays

    Dear Erik, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You were already a true Craftsman in my opinion. I have been following your channel since the beginning and have been intrigued by your every project. You were definitely in your element while working with the Guild. My senses were very heightened by every single shot of this video. You never cease to amaze me, a 78 year old Mother and Grandmother. I can only imagine how proud your Parents must feel. I’m looking forward to the next project with which you thrill us, your loyal fans. ❤🙏🏻❤

    What a fantastic opportunity to learn from true masters. I find it interesting that English is the universal language that allows people from nearly all parts of the world to easily communicate with each other. We Americans live a very insulated life already possessing a universal language within the confines of our own country, but we struggle mightily when we visit foreign countries.

      Not universal language but language forced upon people through colonialism,wars and slavery 😂I mean look at America (conquered land from natives by Brits)
      Look at Africa again land gained by settlers .
      Look at Australia 😂
      India Korea Vietnam
      And very recently now America and its root head of octopus Brits have stepped into afganistan,and middle East enforcing what they believe and undermining the culture and heritage of the ethnic people
