Hand tools are very modern- they are all cordless
NORMAL is just a setting on the washing machine.
Be who you are and say what you feel... because those that matter... don't mind...and those that mind...don't matter!

Thanks for sharing the link to that movie. What a gem!
I guess the forearm hair "sharpness test" has been around a lot longer than I thought.

I did that with one of my Cast Steel Broadaxes once to show a person it was sharp, he almost fainted on me LOL.

This little film really shows the joy you can have doing woodwork.
Hopefully we can all be so blessed.

Beautiful film!
Harry,
Thanks for sharing, not just this but every post of yours is a joy to read. I can't thank you enough.
Fascinating video, pardon my ignorance but what was the deal with the hole and then the plug, is there a purpose I am missing?
Also, wow on the sharp axe, I can get my chisels and planes sharp enough to shave hair, but not my drawknife yet, don't think I could get an axe yet either.

I'm guessing he was checking the thickness so he would know when to stop "hollowing".
Thank you for sharing that!
I grew up fishing, wading in, seining and throwing a cast net in just such waters. Brings back so many memories of a time now distant.
I never appreciated the time, skill and materials put into the odd boats we took for granted.

Thank you Jr. It is realy appreciated!
Thanks Harry, that was interesting. So where some of the other videos on the site.

I loved how this was constructed using chalk lines, a square and the human eye. I also noted that they used spit for a sharpening lubricant, of course they had better spit in those days

Great film. I liked watching the little boys getting right in there to watch and learn. Reminded me of my Grandfather and me.
Harry, for a second there, I thought you wrote "Perogie" maker and it made me hungry...
Neat video!
Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.
That was a great video. It never ceases to amaze me what a true craftsman can do with hand tools.
Thanks for posting, Harry. Several of my friends from down south enjoyed it as well after I shared it with them from your post.
