Hi Ballinger,
as you probably know already, that video is part of a series shot in 1980, called ‘Hands’ – to preserve on film some of the trad crafts here in Ireland.
There are others posted on daily motion, but I’m not too sure about CopyRight.
There is a website — hands (DOT) ie
That seems to be an ‘Official’ site for selling DVD’s of the series.
The LEITRIM CHAIR episode is well worth watching. It’s a rustic ‘stick’ chair made with just Axe, Saw, Spokeshave, Chisel and Froe(plus Beetle)
until about 5yrs ago I lived in Monasteraden village – where John Surlis (the Craftsman lived – he passed in 2013) — No chairs or wood craft anymore.
Guys,
if you have the cash you can buy the whole Hands set on DVD from Benchcrafted.
Some of the videos are on Youtube too. I watched the Cavan cabinetmakers. Worth a look.
For other woodworking related videos, there are ones of a man making a curragh and another of a man making a boat.
Search “hands rte” and you’ll find a load to look at.
