Hej! We are Jan and Tom, brothers who have always shared a love of woodworking. Growing up exploring the forests near our family home, we developed an appreciation for sustainable craftsmanship using natural, locally sourced materials.
After college, we decided to pursue our passion full time by opening our small workshop. Here we handcraft furniture, wooden accessories and more - drawing inspiration from Scandinavian design of the mid-20th century.
Everything is created using wood from managed forests near our village. We take pride in traditional techniques passed down for generations. Our hope is to blend functionality, beauty and conscience to produce pieces that will be treasured for years to come.
When we're not in the workshop, you'll find us foraging in the forest or exploring nearby coastal towns. We love sharing snapshots from our peaceful corner of Sweden

Why don't Woodpeckers get Concussions?
Did you ever see or hear a Woodpecker, pecking away at a Tree?
Maybe you got annoyed by the constant drumming of a Woodpecker beak hammering no on a Sunday Morning?
If so, you might have wondered why on earth Nature designed them this way, why are they hammering away at solid wood.
And why don't they get Headaches or even worse concussions?
We are going to find out!

There is not only red hues of this iron pigment; our summer cottage was painted with black iron oxide pigment. Hej från Finland!
Wow, Great Video again! So nice to watch :)
Thank you so very much :)
Your videos are so beautiful, I wish you all the success in the world!
That's so kind of you, thank you!!!
Awww, looks like a mini forest on the baking tray.
Haha yes! We appreciate all types of forests over here :)
Great video, was enjoying all the lovely snow covered trees having my own cup of tea, made similar way to yours with tea basket but in a mug when I thought 'wow this really is quiet, no talking and no sound' then I realised I'd muted it so not to hear the annoyingly loud ads and forgotten to unmute it🤣 Thanks for sharing, throughly enjoyable, crunchy snow not last long in the UK, England especially as it gets wet quickly and turns to a slushy mess.
Haha 😂 yeah unfortunately I don't have any control over the Ads, otherwise there would definitely not be any in the middle of my videos 😂 The tea is actually all from wild herbs we forage over the year and dry :)
Now I understand.
Great glimpse into Swedish history and culture! But much the same red is found in Norwegian farmhouses too. I can imagine that the desire to mimic bricks was a pan-Scandinavian fashion, but where did they get their pigment from ...?
I want to build a house and paint it red… thanks guys!
haha, youuuuuur welcome....(?) 😂
@@BrorandBror Just need to get some land and some money.
@PhilMakesThings Don't we all? 😂 Rooting for you either way!
Fabulous, thanks for sharing your wonderful new wood store and neatly stacked wood for the coming cold weather, can't help but notice all those tasty looking apples on the trees, enough for a nice spiced apple pie or two 🙂
Well said! We're here to create our own path, as windy and wild that may be 🤩
Absolutely!
Was it late when you voice-overed this? Sounds like you're almost whispering :D
Haha, no.. I'm just pretty new to this 😂
Just saw your comment on van neistats new video, came to see what your making 👋
@@Ash_Fritsch hey there, great to see you here :) thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, it is highly appreciated!
I sure hope this isn't also why Swedish Fish are red...
@@ianallen9217 pssst... We don't talk about this... 😂
Well told, well illustrated, nothing unnecessary, spoken words perfectly supported by the printed ones, nice calm voice. And a good story. Most interesting, most pleasurable to watch. You earned your thumbs up!
Wow, what a comment. I don't even know what to say, other than Thank You!!! It's most appreciated! I'm really glad you liked the video and took the time to write those kind words 🙏🙏🙏
I could go to Sweden that's for sure❤️🇸🇪
You should, it's lovely ;)
<3
Thank you for the history lesson! When I was younger, I was always told that my mother's grandfather was Danish. I married a Swede and moved to Sweden, only to discover 10 years later, that no, my great grandfather was, in fact, Swedish. He was born and raised in Falun, about 2 hours from where I'd been living for all those years. Curious, I went to visit the town and discovered the mine where I learned that the very common red color used across the Swedish countryside in particular was called Falu Red. This taught me exactly WHY it became so common, which I'd always wondered. I love history, especially the smaller tidbits. :)
When I was a boy, my Swedish grandmother lived with us. She had a picture on her bedroom wall of her childhood home, a two room cabin painted in this red. when I went to Sweden to visit my relatives years later I was brought to the same house - it had become a vacation home. It was surrounded by a large stone wall, which her family had built out of rocks pulled from the ground to make room for gardens to plant food. Ten children in a two room house, with some children sleeping in the rafters.
Great video! With this quality you'll get far on UA-cam :-)
Thank you so much! That means a lot!! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, I'm glad you liked the video!
Very informative vid ❤
Thank you kindly, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
i love your videos so much and i love the country you filming even more❤
Oh thank you so much, that's so kind of you to say! And I love the country too, it's truly beautiful
Damn it, this reminds me that I have to paint my semester hus/ vacation house next year or so. Brush off the Falu Röd and paint new. Thanks for the reminder and a good video :D
Haha, I'm sorry I suppose ;) but thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, it is highly appreciated!
I helped my Swedish family paint their house with this paint many years ago during a summer visiting them. I have fond memories of that summer and the painting.
That's so great :) I love when random little things kick start memories like that. While researching for this video I read somewhere that if you ask a swedish child to draw a house, they apparently always draw a red one :) Anyway, thank you very much for watching the video and taking the time to leave a comment, I appreciate it!
Nice
The production quality on this is pretty insane, almost feels like you should be getting paid by SVT :V
Wow thank you so much, what a nice thing to say!! I really appreciate it!
Wait, we have 800 trees per person, :o It takes 12 mature trees to make up for the breathing carbon exhalations and oxygen consumption of one averagely active person. Also, that copper mine is the source of the typical Swedish sausage. The falukorv.
That's fascinating, I didn't know that, but that definitely explains why the air is so pure and beautiful here :) And I didn't know this about Falukorv either (makes sense of course but I never put that together 😅😂) Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and leaving your comment, its highly appreciated!!
@@BrorandBror A lot of oxen was used for transports around the mine. When they was worn down by heavy work they was put down. Their leather and meat used. So a real Falukorv was made by miningworkers meat, to be a bit brutal.
@@valmiretirkeme2574 that's so interesting, thanks for sharing this!!
Thank you! Didn't know this
mesmerising!
Thank you so much!
This was quite well done, the video reminds me of some of Van Neistat's work but it's still it's own thing
Thank you so much! I love his work, so this is highly appreciated, thank you!!! And I'm glad you like it!
*Nordic houses* Nice try bros
I always kinda wondered if there a connection between Scandinavian houses and older barns you see on farms in the US. they almost always have this style.
I'm pretty sure there is. I think I read somewhere that these barns in the states often are in areas that had a lot of Swedish/Scandinavian settlers.
@@BrorandBror Interesting
SVENSKA hus!!
Best colour ever,
Very nice!!
Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏
Swedish culture: "People who dont have falured on their cabins should be ashamed" And I honestly agree, haha.
Haha, personally I wouldn't go quite as far, but I do appreciate the sight of Falu Röd for sure :)) thanks for watching!
@@BrorandBror the upside of jantelagen
I painted my lake cabin black and dark green so it would blend into the forest environment. Too many things today try to grab people's attention. I didn't want that for my cabin. The ducks, geese, swans, moose and beavers that live around my pond now pay my cabin no mind and are not put-off by a 'color-conflict' with the surrounding environment. Although I now understand why Swedes would want their cabin red, as a American-Norwegian/Sami, we go by different rules. Thank you for your video. Greetings from America.
That's all pretty reasonable, and I totally get the "not interfering with nature too much" aspect. But personally I like driving around the little villages here in Sweden and seeing the red cottages, it's quite beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and leaving a comment, it is highly appreciated! Cheers and greetings from Sweden to America:)
It also depends on where in Sweden you are. Here in Bohuslän on the west coast you mostly see barns being painted red but not most other buildings.
@@BrorandBror - Thank you @BrorandBror. Take care.
@@francisdec1615 very true!
That looks like a lovely, cozy house
Thanks :) It very much is :)
Must, mos, cider, paj, vinäger och ge bort. Finns mycket man kan göra med äpple!
@@mirjam79 Haha ja absolut, det här är introt till en längre video där vi också gör några grejer med äpplena: ua-cam.com/video/2eMh5SN3Kcg/v-deo.html

🙏♥️🙏♥️
Thank you for a beautifully presented and practical list of solutions. The apple rings and the vinegar are ones I will have to try. I live in Asturias, Spain, and the Spanish also make a dulce de manzana which is a kind of firm apple paste (like membrillo which is made with quince) and they eat it with cheese. So many things one can do with apples! Thank you for such a lovely video. Saludos desde Asturias.
@@j.n.sloane thank you so very much for watching! That does sound delicious, I will have to try that one day :) And yes, there are many more things one can do with apples, this is just what we did on one day and for the video :)
Gosh, quite apart from the content which was simply lovely, this is such a beautifully produced video - I hope it gets as many views as it deserves since it could bring a lot of joy to a lot of people. And what a great question to be confronted by: "what to do with all them apples?" Thanks for creating and sharing this. Big thumbs up 👍
@@richardsilver98 oh thank you so very much for taking the time to watch the video and for writing those lovely words! I really really appreciate it, and am glad you liked the video! All the best from Sweden
@@BrorandBror it's my pleasure. And I of course intended to say "a lot of JOY to a lot of people". Fat finger typing. 🙂
@@richardsilver98 haha, I figured that that's what you meant ;) thank you again, I can't tell you how motivating reading a comment like yours is! Preparing the next video as we speak :)
Främre bärlinan är för klen. Komplettera med en planka på högkant
