Interesting way to make shingles. They must not have any cedar of there, eh?

Very nice video. very informative as well.

Thanks!

Very interesting video Jim. For the first time I understood what are shingles. Such videos should be carefully preserved.

now that was cool but what kind of tree’s were they my grand father used red oak.

Thanks Jim, that was a fun video. It’s the first time I’ve seen or heard about knocking on trees to determine their density and grain direction. I bought a book; Green Woodwork by Mike Abbot a few years ago and learned many of the things shown in this video. I mainly used the skills to split logs and it was quite a revelation to me how easy it is to work with wet wood. I highly recommend the aforementioned book and it is still available on Amazon.com (although a quick search showed it to be pretty high priced).

They sure do make it look easy. It would take me 6 mos. just to shingle a dog house.
But…..I do have a very nice old forged froe and a dogwood froe maul.
That was a very interesting vid. Too many of the classic skills are being lost. It also makes one appreciate those who came before.
