GuyProlly's Instagram: Ponies between rivers, small and large, Vetlanda.

Taken on my last visit to Sweden, 2011. All about this area are vistas like this. No mountains, but rolling hills, shallow swamps, windy rivers, and lots of forests.

It is a land that only fits the Germanic.

I’d like to start a joint project. Anyone can carve wood, even with a pocketknife. I will attempt to make repeatably carved mjölnir using simple templates for use on Christmas trees and pendants.

My tools will be:

1. Indelible marker
2. Scissors
3. Pocket knife and/or 15$ carving set
4. Fine toothed crossgrain saw 15$
5. Coping saw 15$
6. Wood oil

If you can join, please do. I’ll post segments here every few days. Carving with your family is fun, or whilst listening to podcasts or music, or whilst ‘watching’ a television programme.

From today the carving project begins. We will focus on pendants and other small objects you can carry on your person, as mementos, talismans, or other. I’ll be back in a few hours. Until then, decide what you’d like to carve.

This sort of lathe has been in employ for perhaps two thousand years.

No power required.

Folkish Pendant and Ornament Carving #1 - Making Templates

This is the no-audio Telegram-friendly version of the first video in my carving series that will go up on Guy Prolly YT channel.

How are your pendants or ornaments coming along? Here are my two hammers:

Odysee: Nature and man in opposition to the Torah

I had intended to upload this before Sun N Rad and I were joined by Jan Ott to discuss the Oera Linda and his work. Alas, things got crazy, and this is now four days after the fact. Whatever the case, the idea of the Torah as foreign poison has been growing on me, and stands in opposition to the more natural cant the Oera Linda takes on law coincident to European man's nature.

This is a really great ebook showing all the wood joints you would ever need, and more. Check this chair joint out:

I just finished my first YouTube Short, showing the finishing touches on a 1:8 dovetail gude for hand-cutting cross-grain dovetails. I will show it in action as well as the original dimensioning in another video.

Traditional timber frame houses can be disassembled and moved, ensuring longevity and replaceability of parts, cohesion of skills, and reduction in all environmental waste. There is no such thing as environmental soundness in the modern material building creed, which requires each building to be built tailored for a single spot and destroyed when no longer in use.

This video details a 93 year old Japanese timberframe house being disassembled so that it can be moved to a new spot. Incredible craftsmanship.

Hapaperspective and I both like Rex Krueger. He is a great teacher for basic and pretty compliated wood working. Here he explains like a professor, how to remove twist from a board, and flatten it for use in anything.

In the next week I’ll see about doing some live streams about basic wood working, with the subject being the erection of a small traditional build timber frame wood shop.

Here I have begun scribing so that the posts can stand directly on the support stones. I intend to use no concrete or mortar, both to be nicest to the land, and to firm up my skills in relation to men that came before me.

Not all Japanese house builders do this, but probably all builders that use traditional materials do. The process of giving notice to the local deities that construction will take place, and to pray to them for protection both for the workers and for the family that will inhabit that land, is old, and something we in Europe have forgotten in the post-sacred world.

Despite Japan being a so-called 'atheist' country, quaint traditions that still respect locality, permeate the culture and respect the old ways, even of building. This preserves a will to survive that doesn't exist in our world anymore.

This is another important video, showing the care necessary to take care of tools in order for them to last a lifetime rather than for a life to constantly purchase new tools to keep a company alive.

This is the tuning/sharpening of a Japanese crosscut/grain ryoba saw.
