Carving a scutching knife (Growing 1 m² of FLAX part 3)

- In this video I continue the process of refining the flax fibers. Scutching the flax removes the majority of the cellulose core of the flax which is still attached to the fibers after "breaking".

There was one of these in my great grandfather's shed and no one ever knew what it was for. Several ideas floated around in the family, but linen production never came up. So thank you for this, you've solved a near century of mystery in my family! 👍
Aha, cool! Thanks
Interesting how language preserves memories of things that were previously widely done (flax production in this case), but are now uncommon. Case in point, growing up it was not unusual for a naughty child to hear "Cut that out, or I'm going to give you such a Scutchin'!"
My locale was settled by Scots-Irish who worked heavily with flax before coming to America. They stopped producing linen, but the expression persisted until 30 years ago or so.
(My own ancestors saved three years worth of linen profits to come from Coleraine. It took them 10 years of saving up a little at a time. When they got here, they decided milling was a better job.)
I trust any man who loves his cat as much as you do. It is a true sign of character.
I love Birch, I love its sap, its bark. I miss the birch woods of your Land.
This is a brilliant series. You’re coming at it from so many angles with your diverse skills. And exceptional project management.
AKA "good editing".
Lovely. Very interesting to see the visual of where the term "flaxen hair" comes from.
Cool 😊 looking forward to the next installment. And excellent production quality as usual - well done!
The workstation is cat-approved! You're not going to get any better than that. 😂 Great project. I enjoy watching your skills in each video.
Holy cow I actually understand what people mean when they say "flaxen-haired" now. Shockingly beautiful to look at the scutched fibers.
I find all of your video's fascinating. This series is really interesting. I hope you continue with it. I'm anxious to see what comes next. Thanks for sharing with us all.
As always, everything is thought out and expertly executed ! One pleasure to watch !
Looks like my hair after hay harvest 😜
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, I love so see how you manufacture your tools and then how to use it. It is very interesting to follow your journey. God bless you and your family.
5:57: I never thought I would say this to another man, but may God strike me down if it isn't so! Your wood, sir, looks mighty good!
No, seriously, nice shot. The narrow focus, shallow focal depth, the colour, the lighting. Your attention to detail shows in even the smallest things.
ur right. Lord Tornbjorn, please, impregnate us both!
It’s always a pleasure to see an artisan at work! I hope you are able to pass on your formidable skills to others in the future so they are not lost. Thank you for this interesting series.
I like to watch you work in your workshop, yard, etc. By the way, a cool sweater! 👍😚
Your videos always remind me of my grandpas old shop
Another master crafted tool!!! I love how you demonstrate how it is used!! You are a self-sufficient man!!! Awesome!!!
Even a blacksmith finds a Mora knife hard to pass up ;) Nice project.
They are good and pretty cheap too!
The short bits of flax that fall out are called scutchings and would be used for stuffing cushions amongst other things
Your videos are such a joy to watch, can't wait to see what you do next with your freshly scutched flax!
If you've never used a shinto rasp I highly recommend one for shaping wood fast. They never clog up and can save a lot of time having to be careful about grain with bladed tools.
What a nice kitty! Look at that happy tail!
I am constantly impressed by how sharp you tools are.
Thank you for this series. I sm a spinner and a weaver. It is wonderful to see how these textile tools are made.❤
Thanks! Can be made... this is just my take on it.
Such a beautiful cat 👍😀
that's awesome ! I've never seen flax processed like this, very insightful !!
Great, thanks!
He's making linen.
@@Phyde4ux yep .... just never seen the process like this ... I think it's neat !
@@torbjornahman Are you going to weave it in some peace of cloth at the end? Or maybe make a rope?
it's so nice to find out what all the weird shit that I've been seeing on cabin walls my whole life we're actually for. thanks!
That slim carving knife I'm finishing up one much like it for my kitchen as I had a slim knife that super great for peeling apple and cutting out bad spots from apples and potatoes which I also skin if damaged.
I'm trying to find wood working time as now enjoying BlackSmith Hobbyist and got into it to make woodworking tools.
Always you are a Master BlackSmith and Woodworking and great Gardener. I enjoy all 3 also but you are the most skilled.
Thanks
Thunder Bear never disappoints!
now i finally understand where the term flaxen hair comes from
It is satisfying to see scrap wood being used instead of being thrown out or burned.
One of my favorite channels! Well done my friend.
What a beautiful tool. I looks like that birch was a joy to carve. Thanks for sharing these wonderful skills with us.
Thanks! Actually it was a bit difficult, the grain was turning or changing direction a few times.
@@torbjornahman Noticed that but you knew just when to change direction and your chamfers were so uniform. 😉 Always a treat Torbjorn!!
Manliness is a combination of strength, knowledge and caring. The man in this video shows it all.
Look at those beautiful flax fibers!
I feel that your woodworking skills are better than your blacksmithing gift.
Wow very nice knife. Very cool video today. That's very interesting and very informational video. Cool to see. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Farm On. Keep Making. God bless.
*Awesome.... roll on the next part to see what happens next.*
Thank my friend
I am so interested in this entire project and the outcome of the flax. You really are the most amazing person!
This man truly is the best at what he does. No matter what. Blacksmithing, wood working and now cat calling?! Who knew a cat would come when you called it??
I can’t wait to see the next step
Gives vivid meaning to the term 'towhead".
Famous metalworker carves a beautiful wooden knife. World gone bananas 😂😉
:)
Every episode of this series has been amazing, I really appreciate your time and skill Torbjörn.
As always, great workmanship!
Holy crap, the flax is actually starting to look like fabric! This is so cool!
@12:58 It looks like your supervisor approves of your work.
Brilliant cliffhanger. Now I will need to look out for nest episodes to actually learn what that stuff is that you grew, beat, mollested and bruised.
Your videography reaching perfection, my friend! Masterful carving and watching you Scutch so relaxing! Looking forward to the rest of this series and how much you can get from a m² patch. Thanks Much for the journey.
A relaxing step back in time. Thanks.
It's always nice to see the work of the master👌My respects to Torbjiorn👍
loving this series
And now you are ready to some plumbing work.
It is a real pleasure to watch your impeccable videos. You are an extraordinary professional. Congratulations. Receive my best regards from Barcelona, Spain.
First of all your wood work and smithing are beautiful and I love watching it but also thank you for these videos because flax has been a “some day” crop in my mind for a while and seeing these videos from you has motivated me to try to grow a small plot of it next year
That's great to hear! Good luck and thank you!
Excellent video, as always. Tooling, tools, equipment, materials, I'm sure i'm forgetting something. It takes so much, obviously he has the knowledge and skills to go with everything. He makes it look easy.
This is great. I grow flax for spinning and use a different tool but have the components to make my break. I have no shop to do the job in so have been rather reluctant to tackle the task. I did make a scutch but I don't use a board. I just hold the fibers in my hand and let them hang and whack away and it does a great job. Just as good as using a board if not even better.
Beautiful as always!
Outstanding as always
I have no idea what Flax is used for, but I'm enjoying this series so much.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice work as always. Next in the series, making a spinning wheel then a loom?!?
First we need a final tool for refinement.
Wonderfully figured wood on the chisel. Many thanks.
Thank you for the great video and awesome content!
Thanks!
i love your videos man
All your tools are awesome.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
ThanK you 👍♥️
Very cool! :)
I love picking mushrooms too...
Excellent crafter, excellent content creator, love your videos keep up the good work!🔥💪🙌
we enjoyed this video. your draw blade and morakniv were razor sharp.
Cats are very involved Workshop supervisors. Can't wait for the next step! Will you spindle spin it? Make a spinning wheel?? Oh the possibilities!
:) Thanks... I'm not sure, I would really like to make a thread at least.
Absolutely loving this series. Great job.
Thanks!
I've been waiting for this moment
Very enlightening as always 👍
Loving that little Mora knife!
Can't wait to see what he makes out of it !
Really interesting!
Thanks a lot for sharing
I love the break to play with his cat
Nicely done, tidy job. Well done 👍 cheers J
:) Thanks Josh!
So you going to make a shirt for us?? Great job on the build!! Looking good!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Allmighty Swedish blacksmith,everything homemade,including children😅😍😉 just great guy,great videos!! All the Best TB🤘💪💪
Thanks 👍
Love to see your cats- they must have the best life ! Waiting to see how your linen shirt turns out. (you still have to build the spinning wheel and weaving loom)
I have that same Morakniv and it's one of my favorites. Our chanterelles are running late this year, though. It's been way too hot and dry!
You can see why they used flax for bow strings back in the day. Excited to see what tobjorn uses it for
Oh my.. I haven't seen these mushrooms since I was a kid.. We call them "lisichki"😁
Great flax project, Torbjörn. And thanks for the memories!
Well done . Informative 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe🇨🇦
The knife isn't self made, yet :-) But Mora has done a good job at it. Cuts end grain quite nicely.
I think I might try this next year awsome stuff man
Great, thanks!
Cats are the same the world around lol. This process has been neat to follow!
Nice build. Love to see what was necessary to have a rope / fabrique some years ago.
How on earth did i miss this one?
hunh
love watching you work
Another great video
Omg that cat is gorgeous!!!
He is!
great job
waiting for the heckling
What a cool project
