Скачать или смотреть Traditional Woodworking: Trimming Logs with An Axe

"Craftsmanship lies in the details." In this video, a craftsman trims logs with an axe. He swings the axe precisely to shave off excess parts from the wood’s edges. Using the axe’s blade and leverage, he repeatedly strikes evenly, making the wood’s surface smoother and its shape better suited for future use. When done right, this trimmed wood can be used more effectively in subsequent woodworking projects, like making furniture or building components, ensuring a tight fit during assembly. This matters because traditional woodworking relies on the precise operation of hand tools—trimming with an axe isn’t just about shaping wood, but also about respecting the material and passing down craftsmanship. It makes us think: in today’s mechanized world, how does the warmth and precision of hand woodworking persist? Each axe strike embodies experience, blending traditional craft with practical needs. In short, this manual trimming showcases the essence of woodworking skills, connecting the spirit of craftsmanship across past and present.
