Is the plane being used at the 2:00 mark special to ski making? It has a very strong curve to the base.

That looks like a fairly ordinary wooden compass plane. Made to a variety of curves for various uses. Most old ones had a front horn.

Boatbuilding on Sollerön, Dalarna, Sweden.
Spoon carving in Sweden. She uses the drawknife significantly more and the knife less than the oldtimers did but otherwise she sticks closely to the tradition. Maybe she has hurt her wrist at some point in life and wants to put less strain on it.
Knife making in Kauhava, Finland. Birchbark handles.
Coopering in Australia
Traditional Swiss coopering
Spinning wheel making in Germany

Some of these are great.
I have watched quite a few of "the Highland woodworker" episodes. The Highland Woodworker
There is a lot of advertising for the Highland woodworking store which is no surprise but the highlight of each episode is the "moment with a master" part where they interview some great woodworkers and showcase their work.
Sometimes there are decent little tips in the other parts too.

Turning using the traditional cutting techique. In the era of muscle powered lathes and super-expensive or non existant sandpaper no turner could afford to scrape when he could avoid it.
Using the old style round shanked skew and the bowl hook. Two very useful turning tools which most modern turners have forgotten about. The round shanked skew was reforged every time the flaring edge wore out.

OK, that Russian turning one is very impressive. They look like pole lathe tools.

Came across this documentary on George Nakashima that you may enjoy…even though this is a very old thread.
