Antique wooden sled from 1940 - Restoration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- An antique wooden sled from the 1940's got my father when he was little. The sledge lay in the ground all the time. I came across them during the reconstruction of the land. The perfect project for a new video.
The rohačka sleigh, once an integral part of the inventory of every proper mountain cottage in the Giant Mountains or in their foothills before the invasion of motor vehicles, is today a historical curiosity of lively interest for both the local population, weekend cottages and guests of mountain resorts. Their forgotten last specimens are discovered with joy in the various "stalks" of the barns, where they escaped the orderly and liquidating attention of previous generations. The sent glory of wild rooster rides to us is heard not only from written records taken in the last century, but sometimes also occasionally from the mouths of witness narrators. After all, even after the Second World War, wood was approached in some parts of the mountains by them. It is generally said that this versatile and simple means of transport was already known and used by Gendorf's lumberjacks, which Mr. Kryštof brought from the Alps and settled in the Giant Mountains in the 16th century. Rohačky were used mainly in winter, but they often came to honor even in summer on steep slopes during haymaking.
The first written descent on a sledge took place in 1737 during the return from the expedition to the Little State. The report of the first purely tourist exit has been preserved from 1815. It was on a 7 km long route, leading from the border hut on the Przełęcz Okraj saddle (Grenzbaude) to the Pod Złotą Gwiazdą inn in Kowary. This attraction was constantly gaining new fans. In 1896, about 3,000 stag beetles and the same number of draft horses were prepared for tourists. An association of carriages was even formed, defending their interests and regulating fares on individual routes. Additional infrastructure has been developed, new border crossings and customs have been set up. Tourism became a mass affair, which was undoubtedly influenced by the commissioning of railway lines connecting the Giant Mountains with Berlin and Wrocław in 1866. Winter sleigh rides, similar to the summer ascent to Sněžka, were among the most popular tourist attractions in the Giant Mountains. Fares, depending on the length of the route, ranged from 5 to 16 marks and followed a fixed price list.
Josef Tylš, a forester from Červený vrch, came up with the idea of resuming rides on old timber sleighs from Malá Úpa to Kowar, which were run here at the beginning of the 19th century to amuse the manor and increase the money of the highlanders. Under his leadership, in 1999, the editorial office became the organizer of the zero - trial congress from customs to Kowar. And the descents to Kowary are held regularly, the beginning is not in Pomezní Boudy, but about 3 km lower in the direction of Kowary. The goal is then in Jelenia Góra.
In January 2016, the first rohaček race was held directly in Malá Úpa.

I think it's cool how the sled had "repairs" done to it so someone must have used it alot. It's a fine testament with the full restoration. Merry Christmas and may God bless you all.
Thank you Malcolm :) Radek
I feel like you honored the original builder of this sled. Well done.
See a channel called Engels Coach Shop. You will be amazed.
Maybe yes :)
@@VeradonaRestoration hi 👋🏽
Very nice Restauration 👍🏼
I do restaurations too and want to Upload them on my channel. You are giving good Tipps. 😁
@@KG-yn9qi Encels Coach Shop is amazing..
Смотрел с трепетным вниманием! Хорошая и тонкая работа! Браво!
Спасибо большое, Сергей. Радек
I can't think of a better restoration project right before Christmas. Giving your dad's sleigh will give your family a cherished memory for years to come. Merry Christmas to you and your family and to everybody out there.
Thank you Denise for the beautiful words. Merry Christmas, Radek
I love the way it had cobwebs and leaves stuck to it makes the restoration even better !! That is absolutely BEAUTIFUL !! wonderful work !! Love the way the oil brings out the woods natural grain !! You sir are a magician !!👍👍
Thank you Robert :) Radek
Pentru mine sunteți adevărați artiști! Tot respectul!
Vă mulțumesc foarte mult, apreciez asta. Sărbători fericite Veronika și Radek
The patience, the clamps, the tools, the hands... All ingredients for an excellent sled restoration work. Congratulations for such a wonderful job. Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much for the beautiful words :) Merry Christmas. Radek and Veronika
I wait impatiently for your videos and am never disappointed. I escaped from my regular profession for a couple of years some time ago and worked with an expert blacksmith and carriage maker. We built new and repaired old wagons, carriages, sleighs and carts so I know how much work goes in those pieces and also know they fall apart if not done right. You did it right. Excellent work!
Thank you so much for your story and recognition Thomas. Merry Christmas. Radek
Your videos help my anxiety. Thank you - great work
I'm glad, thank you :) Radek
It was wonderful to see you keep the original wood if you could. It is beautiful and the original makers of the sled would be proud to see it restored to its original glory.
Thank you so much Melody for beautiful words :) Merry Christmas, Radek
Сани суперские получились!!! Кто то бы взял и на дрова пустил, а вы прямо красоту творите!!! Молодцы!!!👍👍👍
Большое спасибо :)
Just love watching you create, yes create. In your restoring, you create something from nothing and it is appreciated.
Thank you :)
Aww, I love the tree sweater on your dog. I was half expecting you to pull your wife and little girl in her tree sweater through the snow. the sleigh looks way better now, such a contrast.
Thank you very much :) Radek
A Beautiful restoration! As a child I had ridden on one similar. It was built by the Mennonite father on the farm next to us, I watched in awe as his 11 kids each had a handmade sled! They knew which was the best hills to go on and how to fly with their wooden sleds! They knew how to have fun! After frozen hands and rosy cheeks and noses there would be hot chocolate with a peppermint stick in it, being sipped by the fire place. Memories I will always treasure! Yor restoration makes me wish for those days again. :) Thank You! I wanted to add I own a ole gal of 14 yr old Chihuahua the same color and all as the one you have here, her name Is cinnamon , nicknamed Minnie. A beautiful family you have. Love the smiles!
:)
Thank you for sharing a beautiful childhood memory. As I read your lines I totally got into it and imagined it, it put a smile on my face. Our female is a hybrid, she is 6 years old, we named her Mona. :)
@@VeradonaRestoration Beautiful name! She looks very happy lol you all do! :)
That's an amazing job, once again.👏👏👏
I have to admit: I really want to see it in use at least once! ❄😁
Thanks Stefan, there is no snow yet :) Radek

Merry Christmas to you all.. "Rohacky",, "The devil's horns", what a beauty at the end... reminds me of my childhood, still have some in my garage too...thank you for this restoration, great craftsman ship and wonderful result. Pitty there is no snow in CZ to test them properly.
Ano to je pravda Jendo :) Radek
I love restoration videos, but the subject matter is what really grabbed my attention. Beautifully done.
Thank you James :) Radek
Саночки хороши! Вероника с Радеком - молодцы!!! Radostné Vánoce 🎄 a šťastný nový rok!!!
Спасибо огромное, Гарик. С Рождеством. Вероника и Радек

Thanks Mark :) Radek
Спасибо за хорошее, предновогоднее настроение. С наступающим Рождеством и Новым годом.
Поздравления с Рождеством другу :) Вероника и Радек
Much the same design as modern sleds in Germany, Austria and Switzerland today. In particular repairing the broken oak track part was done very well. Also filling the nail holes by gluing in matches is smart. Alltogether very well done. I repaired my aunts Norwegian oak childrens sled from 1928 similarly three years ago, exchanging rusted away iron bands with stainless steel bands 20 mm x 0,5 mm which are sold for mounting traffic signs. The good old oak parts also revealed a beautiful look below the surface. Quite satisfying work indeed.
Thank you so much for your story and beautiful words :) Merry Christmas from the Czech Republic. Veronika and Radek
@@VeradonaRestoration I wish both of you a merry Christmas, and good health for the New Year. Please continue your good restauration work.
That was incredible!! Merry Christmas.
Thank you William :) Radek
To take something and restore it so that it can be really used for its intended purpose is beautiful. Today we live in a disposable world causing much pollution and waste. Restoring things takes care and time. Thank You for your time and talent.
Beautiful.
Merry Christmas🌲
Thank you for your beautiful words George :) Have a nice rest of the year :) Radek
I think I like this one the best of any of your restorations! Merry Christmas!
Thank you Greg :) Merry Christmas . Radek
Now that is the quintessential, classic sleigh. Well done, it’s beautiful.
Thank you Chanda :) Radek
Just beautiful. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you so much David. Have a nice holiday to you too :) Veronika and Radek
I have an American sled from the 50s that I restored for my granddaughter. Your restoration was much more challenging than mine!
Great, thank you. The granddaughter was certainly happy :) Happy Holidays, Radek
Сразу ставлю лайк, ибо знаю, что не закосячишь!
ой спасибо за доверие :) Радек
What an amazing job you did. That is a thing of beauty!!!
Thank you :)
Once again a very nice refurbished project. I am never disappointed. I've done a lot of sleigh riding in my younger days, but never seen one like that. Very neat. Thumbs Up!
Thank you Gary, I am honored :) Radek
Сначала лайк, потом просмотр! )))
благодаря :)
Wow! Beautiful job. Thank you for sharing
I thank you :) Radek
That poor sled! Glad you managed to save the old girl.
They don’t make sleds like that anymore. Unless you have someone make it for you or you make it yourself.
That stain really brought out the grain of that wood, beautiful...
Thanks :)
✌🏻👍
Thank you bro :) Radek
Приятно смотреть, как работает мастер.
Большое спасибо Вам за ваш кропотливый труд. Очень хорошо получилось.

Va doresc un an nou fericit și cu inspirație maximă în tot ce veți face. LA MULȚI ANI!
Vă mulțumesc mult Loan :) Frumos sfârșit de an :) Radek
The "thumbs down" are from the sled industry...
Sorry I don't understand the translation of the comment
@@robertriesshozerlover4 I think more likely that the comment means that those in the modern sled industry are unhappy that Radek can restore a beautiful old sled, instead of just buying a new one ;-) But maybe I'm wrong!
%1 percent bad aim with mouse clicks are to be expected.
@@Fruity_lexia Agreed.
@@stevenbryant4718 yes it's true, it also happens to me by mistake sometimes
Incredible restoration. You created a piece of art.
Thank you very much Trent :) Radek

love seeing the grocery ads! its always interesting to see what others prices are in real ads not just suggested or average prices.
The grocery sales had fair prices. Hope you took advantage of them. BTW, outstanding repair. Very nostalgic. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks :))
Very very nice job. That turned out beautiful
Thank you Michael :) Radek
This sled looks like it might have been ridden in Norway. Beautiful job! Excellent work!
Thanks :)
Great job, and a Merry Christmas to you guys, as well.
Your use of broken glass as a scraper brought back memories of my grandfather, a farmer, scraping down the wooden handles of his farm implements such as hoes or rakes. He used broken Coke bottles because the glass was thicker. I once asked why he didn't just sand it. He replied that scraping produces the smoothest surface to help prevent blisters on his hands. I really doubt he could get blisters on his leather-like skin...He used linseed oil to finish.
Thank you for your grandfather story :) Radek
Outstanding! Absolutely loved it!!
Thank you :) Radek

It is absolutely magical to watch you restore something, anything but especially this sleigh during Christmas. It came out beautiful. You sure don't see things like that around anymore.
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas holiday and I hope you all have a Happy, Healthy and Safe 2021.

Yes friend, thank you. beautiful year 2021 to you too :) Radek
Lovely work. Reminds me of Engles Coach Shop with the woodwork, and Baumgartner Art restoration with the staples and cloth.
Thank you very much David :)
That came out really nice.

The Sunday it's a very cool when I see the notification of your new video. The perfect restoration work of the ancient sled, but we are waiting the video of you and Veronika in the snow...!
I wish you a Merry Christmas, peace, serenity, health and love...
A big hug from me and "Ciao"from Italy
You are great friends...
Thanks for watching a friend. I'm sorry there is no snow with us yet. Merry Christmas . Radek and Veronika
Good job, it was beautiful. Congratulations. Merry Christmas to you Radek, Veronika, and family.

Santa can come to town, on a sledge that is awesome. Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you very much Ronnie :) Merry Christmas . Veronica and Radek

Nice restoration, well done! 👍
:))
This video and restoration would warm anyone's heart. Thanks for making this and Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎆🎄
I thank you :)
Et bien je la regarde de nouveau, je ne m'en lasse pas. Prenez soin de vous JC
Je suis content Jean Claude, merci :)
And a very blessed Christmas to you!
Thank you similarly :)
Nicely done. They still make the webbing that was on the original. It's upholstery webbing and you can find it in most fabric stores that carry upholstery fabrics. Also, always use upholstery tacks when mounting webbing. Nails will pull out, sometimes even fall out. They tear through fabric. Tacks won't.
That came out great. Fantastic job... Merry Christmas.
Thank you. Have a nice holiday :) Radek
Fantastic. Great job!!!
Thabk you :)
beautifully renovated..Merry Christmas
Thank you very much Mary :) Nice Holidays, Radek
I think that it's fortunate that some people hold on to these pieces so that at a later date a person such as yourself can restore them. I liked the piece of glass used as a card scraper not to many still do it using glass
Thank you very much Alan :) Radek
Veselé Vánoce a Šťastný Nový rok!!!!
Děkuji kamaráde, nápodobně :) Radek
Beautiful ideas
