    And everyone, remember that you can do this identical to him. Only difference is thousands and thousands of hours of practice and work. This commands respect in this day and age to be able to dedicate time for such art. Very nicely done!

    I have watched this video over and over again. Mr. Andersson's skill with his axe is astounding. Maybe many folks don't know how incredibly difficult cutting a log face flush and square on the endgrain is, the way Mr. Andersson does beginning at 0:43, but I've tried it, never succeeded yet. It requires amazing consistent accuracy.

    every culture had it's own version of squaring timbers.....the interesting part for me is to see the different methods and uses of the tools. It seems strange to me to not be using a bent-handled gull-wing broadaxe for the joggling and hewing stages, but that's how i was taught...others will use an adze to finsih the surface, while others never do.....but all are able to get a nice square timber at the end and you can't say it's wrong if the result fits the need. (and gives you something to discuss when you start comparing/contrasting the methods)

    • @ThatSpiffingChap
      @ThatSpiffingChap 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      2 years late but a quick look at the etymology and it appears to be the opposite and spoons come from spon (and it's relatives). Which explains why in modern Scandinavian, like Swedish, it is 'sked' which is very different to spån. However spån in modern Swedish is also pieces of wood used as roof/ wall tiles/ cladding so there was a related use after all.

    Now you understand why the first bladed mills were called wood misers. 75% of the wood was wasted. Which is fine if you live in a country that needs lots of firewood, the problem is all wood burns, and A-grade wood like that being turned into unusable wood chips was too wasteful. The downside is that cut wood rather than split isn't as structurally strong and can hide faults.
