I have found several of these types of videos. Apparently, there have been efforts in several European countries to documents the old ways of production before the practitioners have all died. I have found French, Spanish, and German videos so far. One video, related to this whetstone video, is a German one showing a bunch of old duffers cutting and shaping huge grinding wheels from native rock. It's amazing how just a few men could cut and maneuver a huge stone using just picks and pry bars. |
