Making clogs

[Corneel]

Anyone wants to make some clogs? Here's how to. Interesting techniques. This certainly is "workmanship of risc". Don't forget to look at the links suggested by youtube too at the end of the video. Some interesting Spanish clogs to be seen.

Brilliant! Not much evidence of a template or pencil lines. Done by eye, feel and experience. I love watching a highly skilled craftsman at work.

Another one here. Clogs while you wait. Spoon before your porridge gets cold! Fastest chairs in the west.

Incredible how he makes it seem easy, isn't it? What wood is that? (I couldn't hear it mentioned in the video). I know the tools must be very sharp, but the wood seems to cut very well, with no splinters.

"Water saturated Poplar"' (Green).

They use "populier". I don't know the English name, I don't think it is the same as poplar. It grows fast and in abundance overhere, very tall trees, loving wet soppy ground. The wood is used quite wet.

Edit: Yes, it is poplar, or cottonwood.

Thanks for posting - the bowler hatted spoon guy from ~6m30s has got some moves on him! I'd not seen the knee braced cut before.

Thanks, enjoyed that, what a satisfying noise of the knife slicing through the wood.
