- Splitting a tree with medieval techniques, you can follow allong with the process from splitting the tree to refining the boards with a drawknife and an early medieval style cooperbench.

thank you for taking the time and energy to make this video. Im a modern day logger and sawyer and that work is hard even with heavy machinary and power tools so i couldnt even begin to imagine how hard these guys had it and how long it took just to make one piece of lumber. Keep up these historically accuarate videos i love watching stuff like this, it makes me appreicate all the tools and equipment i have lol.
Thank you so much @jsoulz2008 it makes my day ;-) ! It is indeed intensive labour, but very fulfilling. Allthough it really depents on the quality of wood available. In this video i am working with a tree that has spiral growth, therefore it's not actually a decent representation. Normally the tree was specifically chosen for this job, it had to be 1st class wood. In the future i'd like to put a video on TH-cam where i work with 1st class logs, it makes the job so much easier. For example, one time, i had a piece of oak (Quercus Robur) log of about 1m long... after riving in 4 quarters ... you won't believe it but when splitting the quarter in half ... it split all the way through with only 1 hammerblow on the wedge. For the moment i'm editing a video about the thing i made with this lumber ... A medieval inspired firewood drying kiln.
Floki 👍👍👍
Wow that's huge.
Mooi! Goe bezig matje!
Merci, kmoe wel nog veel leren over editen enzo haha En vooral ook het "Verhaal" per video is nog moeilijk om schoone weer te geven......but doing my best hé
Great work mate! I cannot imagine wielding that 8kg hammer all day, let alone with 1 hand.
Thanks a lot ! I couldn't appreciate it more, you are damn right ... so luckely for me i don't have to do this every day (even if i would like to do so ;-) ) Above, in the reaction i wrote to @jsoulz2008 i explain more about how the quality of your log plays a role in how easily it splits. I used to make everything with handtools since my 6 , ... Thus i'm getting used to it now. Chears !
@@TraditionalArtisanCraftsman I've split a log by hand before and it is WAY more difficult than most TH-camrs make it look. I was using a 20 pound sledge hammer and metal spikes and my log was twisted.. it was an exhausting mess LOL and my ears were ringing. I do most things by hand in traditional ways, but my chainsaw helps me process the logs so that I can move on to more important things 😀
You,ll soon have your house built,
I like your positivity !! The plan is exactly being able to build my own wooden house in the future with traditional techniques. Half timbered medieval style would be cool ... or maybe a loghouse? Yet to deside ;-)
well if ya didn’t waste 90% of your power by striking something that moves away from the strike, ya might not be so exhausted…🙄🤷🏼♂️‼️
I know for some people it's hard to give constructive reactions ... I did mention it myself in the video, a log that heavy is backbreaking to move around without the right equipment. Thanks for watching my video so detailed, cheers !!
A lot of wood wasted.
Couldn’t you find a steady surface to put that log on? A teeter totter, perhaps? That was painful to watch. After watching the log bob back and forth I realized you spent more time on your hairdo than on creating a useful video.
Sadly, yet another constructive reaction ... i think i'll start giving away prices for "Can you go lower than this?" luckily for me i focus on teaching people things with positive and constructive feedback.
