    Old Woodworking video/first post

    I haven't posted on here yet, but a friend sent this to me and I thought it was an interesting hand tools only, not a measuring tool (not counting a jig) in sight kind of video.

    It's black and white with no sound, but it doesn't really matter.

    As for myself, I've just gotten interested in woodworking over the past two years and now that I'm out of college hopefully I'll have more time/resources.

    so do they have a working village like that where modern day neanderthals can go to reminisce about good old times

    That was a pretty cool video, I was impressed how functional their technique was, in that they achieved an awe full lot of work through just a handful of tools.

    Just the tools that were needed, Zahid. I imagine a good percentage of the old craftsmen were illiterate too.

    Hand tools are very modern- they are all cordless
    NORMAL is just a setting on the washing machine.

    Probably spruce. Every other tree seems like spruce in that part of the world

    That was amazing. The shoemaker's bench/vice was rather ingenious, so simple. Now I want to find some tools to make some spoons!!!

    Nice video!!!
