Traditional tools, traditional skills

I worried that that guy was gonna hurt hisself with that hatchet.

All in all though, that ole boy was pretty good with his traditional tools.

What was the second tool he used? An adz?

In swedish it is called a tjäckla [tjaeckla] the translation I found to english calls it a gutter adze.
 
I made a spoon a year ago in my fairly modern shop and it turned out great,
but it took me about an hour and a half. Anyone with the guts to use a
hatchet like that could make just about anything from wood. cool video.

Wow, and it looked like he still had all his fingers. A man who knew his tools.
 
Man thats impressive. I liked his leverage technique with the knife against his knee :thumbup:. Thanks for sharing, now I want to make a spoon lol.
 
I made a spoon for my daughter before she was born, and have made a few camping, usually start the bowl part, for lack of a better term, with a awl and finish with a spey and or pen blade, fun to make and use camping. ( mine are way smaller than in the video)

It would be very interesting to see what wood he used, obviously it wasnt a hardwood of any sort, it must be in the softer pine family.
 
That was awesome. I've made a few before usually takes me a couple hours and I use some power tools lol
 
Steeltoe,

Thank you for this wonderful look back.

I have used and handled sharps for over 70 years. This skill and speed are stunning and scary fast.

Thank you for showing this amazing skill.
