I can't resist the suggestion that the first one should be entitled: "My Big Fat Gypsy Spoon" :mrgreen:

Seriously though...it is nice to start the weekend with these relaxing and beautiful artisan videos...

Without people like Stuart...this ancient skill might have been lost forever.

I have seen Mr Constantin making those spoons in the video over on the Hand Tools thread...I think..

Cheers Andy.

Try the one with the Moroccan turner in Marrakech. If I find the link later I`ll post it.

No need for a big tool catalogue there!
Thanks for sharing that - always nice to see the survival of traditional skills, and a reminder that there are so many ways of working wood.

Thanks Rob...that was spellbinding.

That chisel is really sharp...we really have lost the use of our toes in the modern world....

I feel really happy now...I don't know why but I feel so calm!

Thanks again!

...we really have lost the use of our toes in the modern world....

some of us can't reach them these days - but I agree your sentiment entirely; great to see such skill, and in an offhand rather than 'look what I can do' setting.

You mean - can't see them either! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
