Does the horsetail adhere to the file without adhesive? Do either father or son listen to some sort of music to help maintain the cadence of their file strokes? Thank you for this presentation.
Yes, horsetail after being soaked and scraped out, just leaving the husk. Once dried, it will stick very firmly on the file without any adhesive. both as I know are wanting to be quiet while working
@@WoodworkingEnthusiasts Speaking as a full time woodworker of 45 years experience, I'm interested in experimenting with such traditional techniques. Another is burnishing with oil and chain mail and I've obtained a bit of that. The horsetail, fortunately, seems to grow in all the mid-latitudes including here in Wyoming.
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up as I always do Just how old is the video you are showing us?? I ask cause the the video it's 3 generations but the web site says 4 generations. Not upset just curious
@@WoodworkingEnthusiasts Really because the guy they are showing as the master isn't the same man but to old to be the son that was in the video unless an older brother is running it. But thanks you very much for answering me
@@Sheepdog1314 Maybe not. Get it up to the point where the traditional methods matter. These comb guys act like they never heard of 600 grit sandpaper. And a polishing wheel with medium compound might be good.
One has to be thankful for the great masters, Without whose knowledge we would not be able to proceed.
Majestuoso trabajo!!! Thnx
Amazing work
Please show us more of the work process. I want to listen working sound without music.

I agree. This whole 6-7 years training to make a comb is lame. It's like a being fancy scam. And they have to be smoked... for what.
@@pharumnelson7108 The smoking process strengthens the fine tines of the comb.
