Woodworking with passion
This is cool. I found this video in the YouTube channel for ArcheologyTV. What the group has learned is amazing.
From the description on YouTube:
Every spring since 2011, a group of archaeologists and craftsmen have gathered in a forest in southern Germany to bring back to life the tools and techniques of Stone Age carpenters. This video shows the team using the tools they made to fell trees and build a copy of a 7,000-year-old well.
Enjoy!

Not everything I make is huge, or even large. Some time ago I realized that making small things is OK. What I am doing now?
This time I made a small tenon – I used the 1-inch square gnomon for size reference:
I am still in the process of designing a small piece of furniture; the Leigh FMT was a perfect solution! What next?
Do you make small things?
