Last week Kari Hultman posted a short French silent film about woodworking on her blog, “The Village Carpenter.” If you haven’t checked out Kari’s blog you should go there very soon.
While watching this amazing film I looked around the website where it was hosted. I wished I had paid more attention during French class in high school.
I found several interesting videos about woodworking, music, lutherie and more.
Here is a link to a silent film called “L’ÉBÉNISTERIE.”
It shows the woodworking process beginning with felling trees and ending with finished furniture. We watch an apprentice learning to use a frame saw, planes and other tools. There are shots of joinery, veneering, staining and finishing.
Nice article. I followed your link to get more about “A Silent Film About Woodworking (1932)”
Glad you enjoyed the film!
