Great question! Several reasons, we'll pour water on the shavings - it helps keep the boat from drying out during the building process. Another thing: a lot of work goes on kneeling - today we have work clothes with knee pads, but traditionally it was a nice padding with shavings on the floor.
About 10 years ago I built a small fishing skiff from scratch, just to see if I could. I'm a retired master carpenter and already had the tools I needed, so I just looked at a lot of pictures and decided on what I wanted. I used that boat for fishing for several years until my health took a dive and then it just sat, unused. I finally decided to sell it last month and let someone else get some pleasure out of it. The guy that bought it loved the way I built it and was a big wooden boat fan, so I think it has a good home now!
I feel like saying sorry for your loss, but I guess you feel at least part relieved now that your skiff gets to be used again. Hoping your health takes a turn for the better!
The original bushcrafters. I love kuksas so much. A) fun to make. B) great little heirloom that can get spread across the family. And on top of that, in the meantime you get a great little coffee mug that nobody else is gonna have!
Excellent work. The whole front part of the video I am almost rising from my chair "But the wood is twisted! How will you make use of it?" only to be happily surprised.
Glad to see that the descendants of Vikings are still alive and keeping tradition alive. The natural grain and fiber orientation and less stress in the wood are golden.
I checked out the other day some boat designs and my uncle is an historian trying to figure out the design of Portuguese caravels of the late 1500's beginning of 1600's. We have seen some parts of boats and mostly the 'skeleton' of them (thing you do not have on this small boat). I was wandering how the carpenter used to get the outside plates of the ships, but now I see that you have to cut it green and lay it in water (which I thought it had to be done), to keep it flexible. Also, you have to do some special cuts (that I did not think). Great stuff.
Did you split the lumber in that way in order to fit that piece of the ship? Or do you split it in the semi "warped" manor to follow the natural grain, and then found where it would fit naturally? Awesome video!
I would imagine the cost of a hand built boat,in the 1800’s,would have been very expensive based on the number of labour hours to build it. Great video.
I don't think so, to be honest, because time was worth as much as it is today. So you didnt pay per hour but per object. An on top of that, the people doing those things were masters at their jobs with a lot more pracitice. For example, ive seen a video recently of three master carpenters doing a simple wooden beam an it took them round about 4h hours to rough out the shape, they mentioned that in formers times the workers needed 6 mins per side so roughly 20 min per beam. So the experience and muscle memory can chance your work hours drastically;) Nether the less it must have always been a very difficult job, so very nice vid 👍🏻
Thanks! It's quite the opposite - the cost of time/labour has become the largest expense of most production, making hand made things super expensive to produce, at least in our country. The material cost used to be substantial, now its a small piece of the total. It used to be a profitable side business for farmers and forest owners. We are only able to still produce these professionally thanks to museum funding.
That is wonderful concept to make a propeller type planks for the boat !! as most of the people know that most of the planks in store are propellers… and it is hard to find a flat and straight one… But, for making a boat planks need to be oriented left and right respectfully! So, they need to be brought from deferent pols: north and south! Question: are you going to south(opposite) pole forest to get opposite orientation timber? Or what?
When your boat absolutely, positively has to be made from wood, but also absolutely, positively need the highest possible strength-to-weight ratio: Continuous grain.
Now, if you had said that you had climbed Mt. Everest towing this thing behind, that would have been more believable. But just between you and I, the trip down would have been more exciting.
Bizde de ahşap tekneler, takalar halen üretiliyor. Bir gemi inşaa mühendisi olarak keyifle izledim. Bir şeyi merak ettim açıkçası. Tekne formu veya kesitler olmadan mı yapıyorsunuz? Tamamen doğaçlama mı yani?
@HauntedSheppard it's not lost in that manner and probably will be used in a wood stove, I imagine. It's still very contemporary. Nevertheless, it's shavings, they don't burn for long unless you compact them into a log.
Fantastic cleaving! Did you choose the tree with a specific twist to the grain or bark pattern? Or is the twist purely from the placement of the wedges?
A lot of very interesting things about that video, but only one thing truly disappoints … I saw a lot of cool process, I feel cheated I did not see the end build on the water. Sometimes the point of the journey is the destination. Just sayin
@@Hardangermaritime thank you so very much! Do you have an idea of how many man hours went into the build? (Frankly I cannot imagine the world leaving me alone long enough to commit to a project with focus and dedication like that. I’m envious!)
Why don’t they clean up all of the shavings off the floor instead of sweeping them under the boat they’re building? Curious here.
Great question! Several reasons, we'll pour water on the shavings - it helps keep the boat from drying out during the building process. Another thing: a lot of work goes on kneeling - today we have work clothes with knee pads, but traditionally it was a nice padding with shavings on the floor.
If it was me it would be because I enjoy the smell

That's the beauty of carpentry, you're work lives on, and others admire and are inspired in the future.
@@cjmc123Amen.
SOLID GOLD, Sir.
Dear Human Being!
Namaste for your love 🤍
25 yrs of carpentry related trades, watching this makes me feel pretty freshmanlike
agreed.
Keeping the skills of yesteryear alive. Great to see. She looks splendid.
As a Finn, the only thing I can criticize is that you talk too much...😂
Spoken as a true Finn😂
😂😂😂😂

Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for filming and sharing this with the world!
This is true boatbuilding history brought to life. Fascinating process!
Excellent work. The whole front part of the video I am almost rising from my chair "But the wood is twisted! How will you make use of it?" only to be happily surprised.
great to hear! :D
Beautiful work!! Please make more videos, and longer videos too. This is great content!!

Был комментарий одного шведа, тот на полном серьёзе говорил, что они тоже тюрки, только морские. Эти по земле а теперь по воде ; резонно
Can watch this all day
What l like about this, is splitting the log along the grain. The shape of the plank then becomes the shape of the boat.
Last week i visit this factory. It's amazing.
Oh my, what a beautiful boat. And I bet it smelled just wonderful, with all of that sealer and caulking. A real old time boat. Doctor George Whitehead
I nearly can smell the wood, so real it is. Greetings from Germany.
an ambitious project...stunningly successful finish...time after time...be well, all
It was driving me crazy that they were cutting the log so twisted. Then there was that "oh" moment. Absolutely amazing craftsmen.
I can cut a twisty warped plank from a log easy peasy. Cutting a precisely warped plank however takes great skill.
Chopchopchopchop
Insanity takes many forms...I was appalled, ...retreat
I was having the exact same reaction! why would they intentionally cut along with a twist in it? then I remember they're building a boat very clever
Härligt att se detta och vilket hantverk!
Bra jobbat av er!
👍👍

Waiting impatiently for the finished product. Well done. (So far)
how wonderful to have such skills and to use them to make such excellent boats. astounding.
Utrolig kunnskap og flott jobb. Vakre båter.
Double edged curve, beautiful, thank you
I built a skulling boat out of wood and aircraft Dacron.
It was fast in smooth water and I caught lots of fish.
Good luck with your boat.
A true master at work, very impressive
Well that's a new twist on building a boat
Beautiful video, thanks for making it!
Kul att se detta hantverk idag. Skulle gärna lärt mig det.

@@lennartkatz952 That’s a very insightful analogy,of course their skills would have been incredible at that time.

I would have never known Stihl Chainsaws were out in the 1800's
The value of a boat must have been massive.
what happened to those really thick boards from the beginning?
It's shown very briefly at 4:09, they're hewn into thin boards. Same rotation, just thinner.
Absolutely amazing
Thank You,Great Video👍
Tar bitumen from oil refineries are ideal for sealing hulls but you have to heat it uo to use it.
Neat! What variety of wood is this
Well done. Respect.
Now I know🤯🪵🪓 “how much wood a woodchuck would chuck when a woodchuck would chuck wood” something I’ve wondered all my life‼️
Nice tongebreaker

Grande lavoro... Grande video 😊
Любимая Норвегия. Обожаю тебя. ❤🙏🙏🙏
Pretty damned impressive.
Bro, prob got her from Lou's tips from a shipwright+algorithm Bad ass, thanks for video!
The warp and weft of the log grain seems illogically suited to the purpose.
Was it selected for the twist of the grain??
Now, if you had said that you had climbed Mt. Everest towing this thing behind, that would have been more believable. But just between you and I, the trip down would have been more exciting.
Thanks, amazing. ✌🏻👊🏼
❤Золотые руки,удачи вам❤
What specific type of wood? Etc etc.. I enjoyed seeing the build but you could be a little more descriptive ,for the newbies. :D
Very impressive.

Лайк, скромный. За труд его огромный!
Amazing. 12000 hours of labor and 80% loss of raw material. Forget doing this without passion.
I imagine, especially back in the day, the shavings make for good fire wood, so not truly lost.
@HauntedSheppard it's not lost in that manner and probably will be used in a wood stove, I imagine. It's still very contemporary. Nevertheless, it's shavings, they don't burn for long unless you compact them into a log.
beautiful!
Negative comments should be kept to one's self
They usually end up at the bottom. When there are a few hundred comments, they basically disappear. Unless you have the time or patience to vew them.
Nancy , Then please😂 delete your comment.
Helt fantastisk 👍🤎
Like a little viking long ship.
What are the benefits of chopping the board in that twist instead of steaming and bending?
This is the same process Lowes uses to prepare 2x4s.
Fantástico! nunca imaginei que iriam fazer um barco com aquele tronco.parabens lindo trabalho .
Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🤍 beautiful story and video ❤
Why soak the wood? Amazing work!
So it will be pre swelled before building.
genius! And how long does it stay in the water?
Fantastic cleaving! Did you choose the tree with a specific twist to the grain or bark pattern? Or is the twist purely from the placement of the wedges?
We chose a tree that was twisted the right direction. We're usually looking for one right twisted and one left twisted, when building these boats.
@@Hardangermaritime Cool, thank you!
Fantastisk! Har lenge lurt på koss de fekk te sånne fjøler. 😃👍
Kjekt å høre!
How do you figure for the curve of the plank you need and how do you lay it out on the log?
Impressionnant
Die Wasserung fehlt.man sieht nicht wie das Boot im Wasser liegt und sich bewegt. Aber das Stück Holz sieht schonmal gut aus.
No adz used traditionally?
Wow. Just wow
remarkable
Excellent
Nice!
That man needs a broad axe to make those boards.
It certainly helps but you can do it without a broad axe too.
The older man is using one in the workshop.
Magnifique
What species of wood?
Sweet. God bless.
Ist es von einer Kiefer(Pinus)?
Wooden a hewing axe work better for this?
❤❤❤❤❤❤hiHello Hello Wishing you a new day full of health and luck❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Is that green ash that was split in the beginning?
It's pine!
video tuyệt vời. cảm ơn bạn
A lot of very interesting things about that video, but only one thing truly disappoints … I saw a lot of cool process, I feel cheated I did not see the end build on the water.
Sometimes the point of the journey is the destination.
Just sayin
That's because we posted this before the launching:) Here is the video from the launching: ua-cam.com/users/shortsUUNaTModLm4?feature=share

En el norte de España la s tablas de madera se les da calor para que tuerzan. Vuestro método es muy interesante
The first 3 minutes is actual footage from Home Depot's sawmill
Interesting but disappointing to watch. Less than 6 minutes ?
Whats up with the gas chainsaw??
That's a lot of work for some twisted boards. Just go to homedepot.
Мда... сколько квалифицированного труда нужно, чтобы сделать маленькое судно...

Norway :)
Anybody know the traditional name for the wooden sled in the video’s beginning?
Not sure if there is specific traditional name for it, but "Sámi pulk" is quite close.
