Clog Making Pt 1 - Hand reducing a clog sole with a inventory knife

Jeremy Atkinson is England's final remaining clog maker utilizing conventional craft expertise. Lynwen and Dave from Artisan had been intrigued, so we met up with him earlier this 12 months at his small store / workshop in Kington, deep within the West Nation of England.

That is the primary of 6 movies wherein Jeremy exhibits how one can make conventional English clogs.
He talks in regards to the wooden historically utilized in clog making; demonstrates how one can hand minimize a block of wooden with a blocker, or inventory knife, remodeling it into the only real of the clog; and talks in regards to the properties of the inventory knife and the altering use of the title over time.
