Hi Guys .. Aaah .. the good old 'Mortise and Tenon Joint' 👍. This takes me back 60+ yrs back to my School Woodwork Classes .. Addington Primary, just off the Beach Front.. Cross Cut Saws, Wood Chisels and Wooden Mallets. Using South African 'Deal' (Pine) .. the Glue Pot on the little Hot Plate and two coatings of 'Shellac' to finish off the completed project 😊. A little bit off track perhaps .. but thanks Sepp, for re-awakening the Memories .. good ones. Take care .. Tommy
As Thomas Musso said, mortise & tenon joint. Schlitz is mortise and Stopfen is tenon. You can also make it more secure by drilling and doweling. Thanks for all your great Waldhandwerk videos.
I'll have to admit that as you used that "tool", I wondered what's the chances blood won't be drawn! One of my requirements is to only use sharp tools that I know are of the best quality that won't break causing me to get stitches from my wounds! When you brought out one of Felix's tools, I knew the hole would be completed! I love the knives from Finland, especially the old Puukko knives, which I have a few of! Thanks for demonstrating your excellent carving skills!
Great vid, it's always comfortable with Suzanne and yourself. I think I would use a thick leder glove when working mit das folding knife that does not lock.
I have two of those old timers. They are awesome. And cheap. I've made forks, spoons, pocket fishing rod, etc.. pipes, mine were pretty sharp, just had to edge them up. I always carry one.
That was a good demonstration of what the tool can do. It's been hot in Germany. My German family is ready for the winter to come I think. It's always good to see you both enjoying nature.
Hey guys, good to see you both. I met you both on "Wild Woman Bushcraft", Vanessa's channel. Awesome video. My daughter bought me one of those 24OT's. So always people say which the best carving knife, right? well we know that it is the one you have. LOL. You are correct. The caveman would have said it came from God. Oh my!
The other company is Flexcut and is 130 dollars as to old timer at 13. No locking blades on either, but dew come left or right for carving towards you or away from you. Sitting at camp on a rainy day carving keeps our mind going.
I have a couple of those knives that are old timers. Mine came pretty Sharp. After I use them I re-sharpened them they stay sharp a long time I have made quite a few things with them everything from Forks, spoons, sporks, I even made a Pocket Fisherman. Like from the 1970s only mine was made out of wood. I made it where a mini micro reel would fit in it. Even made Loops for the fishing line to go through. It works pretty good
Really nice little video. I have one of those carving knives. As you say it needs a bit of sharpening when new. I really need to get around to do that :) Thanks - Martin
Very cool Sepp with those simple tools you had with you! Lots of carving, carefull carving though! So worried about your fingers all the way the video 😅
Hey Sepp, coole Arbeit !! Das Tool hab ich noch nie gesehen, echt der Hammer, ist ja mal ne richtig geniale Idee. Schöner wäre es natürlich mit Arretierung, dann könnte man sich voll und ganz aufs werkeln konzentrieren und nicht aufs abrutschen :-)) Das ist mal ein Werkzeug wo es sich lohnen könnte das komplett neu aufzulegen, vielleicht dann auch noch mit Säge und Ahle, das wäre was :-)) Aber das wird keiner machen, ist zu speziell. Dank Dir fürs zeigen, lasst es Euch gut gehn, bis denne, LG Brummer
Great video my freind. Old timer Use to have a life time warranty. If you broke a blade ., all you had to do was take it back to the store you bought it from and the store would give you a new one. No questions asked. Dont know if they still do this today. I think Shrade makes the Buck knife too.
@@billmitchell7731 I'm your friend Bill. 2 days course again and i hardly can follow up my buscraft relevant colleagues videos ;) but your music and singing is great! Nice pic from your parents, Respect.
Sepp and Suzanne have the potential too reach the scientific level of bushcraft. Mors Kochanski was the only one that made science of improvisation, but had exceptional, positive human spirit. Sepp has same spirit.
There should be two compartments in that East German army pouch. I believe each soldier was issued two magazines for his AK. These magazines were carried in this pouch, which was carried on the belt.
Mortise and tenon joint, from way back when! But now this type of joinery has been around for nearly forever! I had a table that I had acquired from my being stationed in Germany that kept the rather large table legs from coming apart and just the table legs would not do a split and collapse to the floor. The table was very heavy, yet made out of plank wood and the legs were also made out of planks as well! The actual tenon portion was made as a horizontal strut stabilizer that ran horizontal to keep the vertical legs in a fixed, locked upright position, so they could not do the "splits"...... -I-{}---------------{}-I- . Not only the old style banquet table was heavy-duty thick wood planks, but the legs and stabilizer strut was also VERY heavy-duty too! Although the table was only about 6 foot in length or 1.83 meters, but the height was about 3 feet or .92 meters high. The horizontal strut stabilizer that interconnected the two table legs was about 4.5 feet or 1.37 meters in length. The origins of such a table could easily be traced back to Europe in general, founded just about anywhere's throughout Europe, in Viking times, also styled in Ireland, Germany, and even perhaps constructed back during Roman times. A more common reference to such a table would be a "Dinning Trestle Table" or "Dining Banquet Trestle Table" of the more modern form, still has a very unique looks and ruggedness that just could blow anyone's mind as to just how well constructed and durable piece of furniture that has the ability to last 100 years plus! Other forms of Mortise and Tenon joinery was widely used in the making of barn framing and even in farmhouse construction too! A Wikipedia citing says that this type of joinery has been around for nearly 7,000 years now.
@@Waldhandwerk Once you had demonstrated how the joinery was to be performed, that type of joint just clicked in my head as to the two most commonly used purposes that actually still exist even after nearly 7,000 years up until today! My brain had kicked into gear only to tell me the following: 1,) Tables and other furniture. 2.) Old barns and farm house framing construction. Now I can't get it off my brain!
@@Waldhandwerk Just when you had a little bit of difficulty of translation of this type of joinery, I too ended up with a brain-fart! It took me about 20 minutes to remember just what the name of it was and so I'm about 13 years older than you. I thought to myself long and hard until it finally clicked into my brain. Hell, I thought that I was going to have a brain infarction! You did a very good job of being able to do a simplified joinery with just a basic hand carving /whittling knife! Thank-You's goes out to both you and Suzanna! I liked the video a whole lot!
@@craigtegeler4677 thanks again my good friend. We used the dove tail joint, wooden nails and roots as cordage. Everything old fashion but still good :)
@@Waldhandwerk It has a high resemblance of a dove tail type joint but in actuality, technically for that application; is a Mortice and Tennon. A DuckDuckGo web search will take you to photos and diagrams of that type of use or application.
Susanne... Not sure if you just look and sound the same as someone else or if you are the person I'm thinking of that I seen many times years ago in Nova Scotia. Ever ben there?
@@susannewilliams Well, if that wasn't you, then you have a look-alike. Possibly a twin. After all, there are many times through history, even now, when twins get separated.
Sepp Du bist in einem Alter wo Du noch in Schilling bezahlt hast. Diese 32,95 € für das Schrader sind 453.50 Schilling. Um diesen Preis hast frühen schon die großen Schweizer Messer bekommen. Und das andere Taschenschnitzmesser schlägt mit über 1400 Schilling zu Buche. Wenn du mir vor 20 Jahren ein Schnitztaschenmesser um 450 Schilling angeboten hättest, hätte ich schon geschluckt.
If you want to carve a spoon, use proper spoon carving tools. If you are out in the far wilderness, it is far easier to carry a light weight spoon than this barely functional and slow way of making one. Light weight cutlery is not so expensive, cheaper than this carving tool and also lighter and require zero effort to use. You also don't have to spend an hour or three trying to make a functional spoon. There is Zero reason to use this tool.
