www.woodlands.c... Kim Williams is using an adze. She is dubbing or adzing some timber planks using an adze, for a reconstruction Anglo Saxon building. Kim is part of the East Sussex Archaeology and Museums Partnership ESAMP . Using the adze Kim shaves slivers of wood from the planks. This ensures there are no traces of 21st century tools on what will eventually be part of a recreated Anglo Saxon building. This demonstration took place at the Weald WoodFair 2010, which is an annual event set at the Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum. WoodlandsTV have made three visits there, and Woodlands.co.uk always have an exhibition stand.

I have my Great Grand Fathers adze. He shaped many creosote piling to be driven with it back in his day. Back when timber trestle rail road and most bridges were made from creosote soaked wood. The thing is razor sharp today. I dressed it up about 10 years ago with a file. The spike on the back of it still works as designed. My oldest Grandson and I used it to make some log benches. Excellent tool design.

They need you on Game of Thrones to get rid of all the bandsawing marks on the wooden buildings. Once you see it you will always be on the lookout for it.

I picked up my first Adze yesterday. Looking forward to learning to work with it.

The adze, in the hands of a skilled craftsman, can be quite a precision tool. They used to be used to dress large butcher-block cutting boards. If one has the skills then a very nice, flat surface can be achieved using an adze. Nice video.

Sorry, but this lady is NOT really good at using an adze. Resting her left forearm on her left upper thigh will reduce the number of steps visible in the cut. The cut should be with the grain both along and across the width of the plank. Typically this means cutting at 45 degrees to the length, not 90 degrees. This will reduce the amount of tear out.

I concur. Not to be mean, but there’s a reason there’s more talking than doing in this video

Absolutely. The adze was originally used to put a smooth finish on timber before the plane was invented. For example, ship spars were cut from the log to square in a saw pit then roughed down to round (often leaving heel square and the truck D section) with a adze before finishing with an adze taking long cuts along the grain with the adze to get a smooth finish. Not a skill you see much nowadays, most skilled shipwrights making wooden spars find a power plane quicker and easier. Take a close look at the mainmast in a sailing barge next time you see one. That is if it's still got a wooden one as most have replaced them with steel tubes.
