Learning on ScreenCentral Europe, Bavarian Forest - The Shingle Maker of Frauenberg at Work
- Synopsis
- Thick pine logs are split in the courtyard with a hatchet and wedges. Inside the house the slips of wood are marked off with the use of a pattern and cut with a hand saw to different lengths. The shaping into shingles is done on the carver’s bench by means of a shingle knife, the mallet, and the draw knife. The film attaches value not only to the working technique but also to the behaviour of the working man.
