I wanted to share some good video to everyone up here.

Last autumn I met those guys (and "women") you can see in the video at Gransfors axe factory while taking apart in log building course.
These are great people that makes great tools.
The carpenter you can see in the 2nd part of the video is Daniel Akerman - one of the most skilled carpenters and wooden construction renovators in Sweden - it was great honor to meet him there and hold in my arms the same axe he used in video...

Wow, great video!  Heck, axe making and log building look easy :D :D .
That can only be from years of practice and experience. Thanks.

Wow, thanks for sharing that. Excellent examples of how control, skill, and time can replace brute strength, power and speed.
