Travel back to 1978 to witness the incredible skill of traditional craftsmen processing massive oak logs without a single power tool. From the dangerous gravity-fed log carts to the rhythmic precision of the pit saw, this is woodworking in its purest form.
This rare color documentary captures the lost art of building a classic half-timbered house, where every beam was hewn by axe and every board was sawn by hand.
Video Highlights:
The Log Cart: Watch how two men handle a 600kg oak log on a cart with no brakes, using gravity and friction to navigate the forest slopes.
Hand Hewing: The satisfying sound of the broadaxe squaring a raw log with paper-thin precision.
Pit Sawing Mastery: The grueling but rhythmic teamwork required to slice an oak log lengthwise using a traditional frame saw.
Tools of the Trade: See the cant hooks, mallets, and chisels that built the homes of the past.
No electricity. No shortcuts. Just pure dedication and the enduring art of carpentry.
