Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I love the use of those tar dripped wooden pegs so they know how far to shave. simple idea and so effective
That rounded draw knife was pretty neat, I don't think I've ever seen one of those before.
I know these artisan videos backed by new folk music are specifically designed to make me yearn to craft something by hand, but it works every damn time.
I assume they used power tools to make these cuts (and others like them) right?

Great video though!
My god that shop!
hold up a second, was "northmen" always the name of this channel? i thought it was john neeman tools.
i was thinking all the way through, wow, they really borrowed heavily from those guys, they are even latvian too, but when i went to the channel page, i saw all the old neeman tools vids
*never mind, found a video about it
I was wondering why the boat was built with such a small space at the top but then they put it over the fire after soaking in the water and they just stretch it out to make a full sized boat. Really cool and clever stuff.
Those paddles are absolutely gorgeous. The canoe looks unstable as fuck though.
Not only good at making boats but good at making videos.
Since they probably used power tools to make a few of the cuts before shaving out, don't you think they could have just cut out a large beam in the center and salvage some of that wood? I know they wanted to do it all by hand for the most part but as someone not from a forest area it seems wasteful to me.
I've never wanted a canoe more in my life.
