Traditional Swedish Woodworking: Clogs, Spoons and Chairs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2011
- This is a video shot in 1923 for Swedish television, or at least featured there, which films several people working on different woodworking projects with simple hand operated tools.
I nearly fell off my chair when that guy chopped and pared an artistic looking spoon out of a piece of fire wood in minutes without a vise after having just watched a 45 minutes modern video on how to carve a wooden spoon. Immense skills and rugged guys with amazing concentration, not afraid of the blade because they had mastered the skills and were honest workers, not working by the hour but by the piece. Not for someone else, for their own account.
You can see how the cameraoperator asked the woodworkers to display their tools to the camera at a few times, very nice!
Wish I lived in an age of quality insted of quantity.
I noticed how men back then wore comfortable pants. Wide man spreading crotches
What a fantastic little film! I work with hand tools yet I've not ever seen a good many in use in this film.
Nearly a century old and magnificent! Thank you for uploading. Greetings from Greece.
wow isn't this a gem
Thanks to you and thanks to the internet, we can watch these old films that would otherwise be collecting dust in some forgotten archive. Thanks again.
They were way ahead of us.
This is what RUclips's all about!! Fantastic!
I`m retired and have a small shop where I perform woodturning, create musical instruments, and some cabinetry. I have a shelf full of woodworking textbooks - but I found this woodworking guide, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . The comprehensiveness of this book is surprising. It has decent coverage on every topic.?
This is the only functional purpose of RUclips. An instrument for videographic education.
This should be preserved.. the unique tools used and the process.. in this mass produced sanitised world these skills are dying treasures many already dead..
This might be my favorite video on youtube yet!!
This video is a treasure
The bloke in the first part has some serious skills. Loving the hatchet work!
Great archival footage of our Swedish snikera ancestors.
Thanks!!! I am sharing this with my father and a few good woodworking friends.
Brilliant workmanship. And, no power tools!
So that’s how a brace is supposed to be used 🧐 excellent 👌 video.
So many great lessons in there, especially on versatile knife use and creative holding methods. truly excellent stuff, thanks for posting!
Knew I would find you here!
a picture is worth a thousand words. thank yew gare
THAT is professional timbersport!
*Like many other jobs, planning is of utmost importance for woodworking tasks. Woodcutting always demands careful planning and step by step approach towards the ultimate goal.*
I'm pretty these experienced men didn't care much about "planning".. They learned by doing, not by academic attitude.
If something failed it went to the oven & another piece of wood was taken.
their clothes are almost as interesting as their work. the chair maker's hat is just unbelievable.
I watched some parts in 0.25X. Pretty cool. The accuracy and consistency of these guys with the hand tools is awesome.
There is something oddly satisfying about drilling or whittling wood
De va de jävligaste ja sett, har aldrig längtat ut i snickarbon så mycket som nu
Ray Mears...Eat your heart out, Those two guys with the double hand plane were quicker than my power tools : (
Roaming Britain yep, big difference between bushcraft & craftsmanship
nice, would have loved to have sat and talked to the old clog maker. that spoon drill was unbelievably sharp
awesome display of woodworking techniques, thanks for the share, much appreciated!
Loved this video! Tough old boys with huge skill levels. Love the old tools fare more useful and better made than modern homogenized, built in obsolescence crap. Which are lucky to last out the warranty.
True story : There was a very old firestation i think it was in San Francisco around the turn of the century where one day the main garage light bulb broke. Nothing special except they realized the bulb was made in 1917 and had been working for well over 80 years. Now, motherfucking GE and electrical companies produce lightbulbs designed to fail after 1 year. Big corporatism greed has destroyed affordable quality. Now they built junk in the millions and decent quality products is limited to space exploration. Banksters, wall street lazy parasites, hedge fund speculators, usury malefactors, federal reserve crooks, all these people are not useful to society and are the curse of modern society. The guillotine needs to be re-instated to take care of the part of society who produce nothing, exploit others and are responsible for the stagnation of society. Banking is no longer an honest occupation where they participate in the risk taking of funding new small enterprises, instead they milk the system, invent their own 'financial' instruments to make money on the back of the multitude at no risk to them and collude with the fed money press production. The government has failed to disciplinate and regulate the banking industry back to a honest occupation instead it is a club of priviledged who don't support the back bone of society but only their interests. The time for people to take matters back into their own hands is not far off. It is the duty of the people when the government fails to take power back and rid the society of profiteers and idle usury lenders. They've been a constant problem as far back as tsarist Russia exploiting the farmers and doing no useful work themselves.
@@goognamgoognw6637 Capitalism has its flaws.
What you, and many other ignorants, fails to observe is the amount of wealth & living quality provided to millions of people..
Guess how your life would be in these poor men's harsh living conditions..
Look at the latest development in China where millions of very poor people has gained access to basic necessities you take for granted.
Half of your family would have been dead before 5, the rest handicapped from harsh living and work conditions. Notice the amount of Birth or Child death along with the immense risks for women giving birth to child number 5, 8 or 10..
Living length ~ 40 years with outworn body & years pain from work & life related damages.
Deal with the all present deadly risk of polio, tuberculosis, influenza or simple cut leading to deadly blood poison because of all present dirty infected living conditions.
Toilet paper or even a toilet? Imagine the smell.. And rats, mice & lice.
Three generations ago artificial teeths were common gift by confirmation.
You were considered adult with 14! & had to work 10-15 hours a day. Starting at 5 or 6 never mind weather or sickness.
Sleeping in straw next to someone else in a cold, damp or frozen room.
Cut off power, heating, running water including acces to toilet & bath a week, and tell us how you experienced that reality.
Run barefooted & only clogs without stockings when decency demanded footwear.
Reality for millions of people were way more basic, harsh & down to earth than you spoiled leftist city dwellers can imagine..
Count your blessings 😉
@@goognamgoognw6637 It's the Jews you're talking about. Capitalism and communism are two sides of the same Jew coin.
@@bono894 Exactly right, and they're censoring my detailed reply to you right now. They deleted it and I don't know if you'll get this one. This is how critical the situation is in 2020.
Amazing video, thanks for sharing.
This is beautiful
Masters of their time! What i would give to bring one of them back and show them Harbor Freight
Thanks for uploading this.Wonderfull!
Thankfully, someone had the forethought to record this for future generations. Most of who can not even imagine life like this,and would not believe it without the images.
I was amazed at the confident and heavy cuts being made on the partly finished items. For some reason I imagined a progression from heavy primary cuts to lighter and increasingly lighter cuts until the item is finished. This footage puts paid to that idea. The most efficient and energy efficient way obviously won out.
Its a dream to work like this awesome woodworkers !!
thanks for uploading !!
Kept imagining sounds of sawing, hammering.
Amazing workmanship.
Amanzing work , thank you for share
wonderful!! Hope some people will continue to entertain more and more this memory...
true craftsman. amazing talent to be able to carve like that.
Very nice and thank you for finding and sharing this
Thank you so much for sharing a piece of Swedish culture - it's almost unbelievable that this is just 90 years ago. Snickargubbar FTW!
Lost art 4 sure!!!!! Thanks for the post!!
so nice to see craftsmen at work. my ladys late father was a woodsman working in west sussex for most of his life coppicing
So very cool. Amazing craftsmen!!!
Incredible craftsmen ... True artist.
Fantastiskt klipp, helt otroligt vad skickliga de var
Great video. Impressive that Sweden had television 4 years before it was first revealed by Farnsworth!
I assume you are being funny. Motion films were around in the 1890's. They integrated sound in 1927.
Wow!! :) Lovely woodworking!! Thank you!
Thanks Stephanie! That was really cool!
Steve Deschenes
It really is fantastic like a time machine.
amazing to watch, thanks for sharing
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing.
Great Video, really liked the story pole around 10:20 Thanks for posting.
I love watching these old world craftsmen and how they worked with a minimum of tools and fuss. Every time I am in my workshop with all my electrical gadgets, I have wood chips and sawdust from arsehole to breakfast not like these guys. Hats off to them.
thanks for the upload :) , i had furniture made in bollebygd in 1988 by a 80year old man he said he was the last in line. :-)
Nice handiwork . Thanks for sharing this document, very good definition¡ 1923 Wow Awesome¡
they certainly worked fast back then, it's impressive
Very interesting! Thanck a lot!
This footage is a monument to skills that once where quite common among folk. It's a good thing that someone back then realized that the then new art of moviemaking could be put to good use to create this real forlk ar heirloom.
Wow.We got nothing on these guys with our power tools and all.Thanks for sharing.
fantastic film that wasn't lost in time
As the grandson of an old "hands-on" type of tradesman, a carpenter, I was always fascinated by the vast array of strange looking tools in his little backyard shed and wondered at what they could be used for. Well, Grand Dad is long gone now, but I must have got something from him, because I love being able to make something out an object that others would throw away. And when they ask me why I don't just go and buy a new one at the store, I tell them 'because it makes me feel good.'
I always viewed the norsemen to be utilitarian, so I can see why they would opt for such tactics. The axe is such a multifaceted tool for both warfare and daily life that it makes alot of sense why it would been within their toolset. I've seen a century or so old video on scandinavian carpentry and the mileage they have with just using a single axe as a means to chop, cut shape, plane and hammer wood into what ever they need is still one of the most fascinating things I've seen.

superbe vidéo a diffuser dans toutes les écoles d'apprentissage s des metiers du bois!!
Spoon drill shown is capable of making curved holes..
A detail our modern drills can't deliver.
Vikings used it building their impressive longboats.
Incredible!
Well done : )
Amazing! Only a hundred years ago and it’s all done by hand. No electric motors at all.
Awesome!!!
That was an awesome display of skills with a hatchet. If I tried the I would be minus a few fingers, if not all.
Que buen video, excelente
Bloody amazing!
muy bueno gracias
Brilliant, historical record. Essential viewing.
now that is skills. Good practical skills
Ikea, the start up days
Pure beauty!
Tack
Wow, just wow...
Incrível esse trabalho manual, abraço
1923 is 20 years before TV.
inspiring!
@AhnkoCheeOutdoors :) good point. It is good they had the forethought to document it.
They had film in the 20:ies. Whitout sound of course.Like the one you had i photo cameras for years ago.
Cool!
It’s a golden treasure. Save!
Awesome
Todo hecho usando todo su cuerpo fantásticos!!!
GOD!! the ax is FAMOUS!!!!!
Das ist wahre Kunst und nicht das die Maschinen alles übernehmen.
the clogs carving is like the making of sabot in Valle d'Aosta
yea they make those tools stil i've seen some around. Well I've seen them in sheds not store so at least they were made recently :)
The weird part when you are just surfing the Tube and pressing recommended videos and suddenly can read the text in the video.
Old school Ikea ;)
Wouaouh! Probably one of the most interesting woodworking videos on youtube. Absolutely PRICELESS.
Terrible, very, very, to wake up, and to realize that the Ikea sh*tness has erased this craft.
These Illiterate uneducated men helped themself & earned a bit from these simple production.
Why don't you simply do the same?
You have acces to information they never dreamed of..
IKEA actually makes quality accessible to millions.
No one forces you buying there..
Go on & change the world, you spoiled hippie 💪
A shame (and ironic) that this video is blocked from anyone living in Sweden cause of copyrights (think it was SVT?). But there's always some loopholes and downloaded it for later. Thanks for uploading.
Nice work, nö Sound , but very good.
.75 speed on playback seems to be closer to their actual work speed. Impressive as hell.
That could be my very own Farfars far!

Træskomager...
Ti faccio i miei più grandi complimenti, e un documento importante che vorrei fare conoscere qui in Italia,
Ho acquistato asce Svedesi che sono favolose, ma prima di utilizzarle con l'abilità di questi nonnini passerà ancora un po di tempo. - ciao
tack
12:43 One of history's most used workbenches
Many thank's for this intriguing video. I have not seen clogs made. I think the maker has made a few pairs in the past eh? d-)
