"Have Broad Axe Will Travel" - Roy Underhill- TEDxRaleigh 2011

I remember my dad telling me that if you watch his show closely his hands towards the end of the episode has Knicks and cuts .

I gave up i cant listen to him

So. The meaning of life, is to enjoy trees.

Roy Underhill is such a treasure. He was a big part of my past, and I love him to this day. His knowledge will live with me well on into the future!

Starts out Big B.S. all I need to hear. Bye!

Roy Underhill and Bob Ross, two inspirational personalities courtesy PBS.

My BIG inspiration as a young-un! So grateful. I hope to get back into the old woodcraft myself in my later years.

A special person!

What is this video titled!? And why didn't I pause before coming to comment because now I'm getting sucked in by the algorithmic pressure.

Bull no they said the world would be over by now!

Haha roy has always been so nerdy and geeky but when it comes to making things with his bare hands and simple tools he's a freakin jedi master for real. Watched him my whole life when I think about woodworking or do any he is who comes to my mind

Are you interested in travel to alaska and building a cabin?

Never realized how much of a global warming atheist this man was

love the woodrights shop I remember watching it with my dad growing up I'm 34

He should have been interviewed as “tomorrow!”

💯 no one has worked harder in a TEDx

is 360p the best tedX can muster?

The master !!! I watched him on PBS since the 80s - a man’s man.

I wouldn;t deride english timber framing so easily. in the day, the woods wer eowned by the aristocracy. when you have a limited amount of wood you use it as sparingly as possible. Timber joinery is FAR FAR easier with squared timbers...there are ALWYS really good reasons for the way things were built..so let's latk about why that is because these methods will come back to Amserica as the American economy is about to be de-powered. Axes and saws and chisels will suddenly be useful again

Like Gallagher with splinters. Great education!

...... are we watching someone having a breakdown??

Dear god the brain washing is thicc with this one.

He deserves his own MasterClass

I love this guy and the great mementos he brought me when I was a kid watching his show! Roy is indeed a very smart, Legend!!!

This is what will Ferrell will look like in 20 years

I love Roy Underhill! I would watch the woodwright shop all the time as a kid! We all need people like him around!

Gallager has really changed up his style.

"wood is not Velveeta".🤣😁😅😁🤣😁😅😅🤣😁😁😅. Talk about nature vs culture.

us English people built our houses from stone, lime and sand. You know all those European castles that are still standing, well,

The riddle of steel...

why in gods name was this my recommended video?

"inflict culture upon nature" what a phrase

TERM OF ACCOUNT IS ALSO NOT WORKING WITH HOLLYWOOD . WILL FUNCTION WITH NO HOLLYWOOD MAIN OR SAPARATED FROM MAIN ON MY STUDIO .

Building houses out of logs by cutting trees with axes won't save the world, unless we take world population back to 1840 and decide that we won't have electricity, vehicles, or really any meaningful division of labor. You can't run modern America on trees and axes, primarily because there won't be enough trees to do it.

i choped my first tree down today!
(a small Acer pseudoplatanus)


also as a european i feel attacked

why do i feel so offended when he says Europe doesn't have wood that's as strong.

If there was a power tool 300 years ago you can bet every craftsman at the time would use them.

Using tools is modern laziness. Back in my day you would use your words and the sweat off your brown to make a house... and then sleep out side

"Grab the chalk line."
"Now what?"
"Place your line"
"And now?"
"Measure your line to make sure you placed it right."
"Whys that grandpa? You measured it, it looks right."
"You always measure twice. Cause most times, you're only gonna get to cut once."
Lookin back, wood can teach you a lot about life.

Who's here learning how to chop wood for the apocalypse?

You lost me at global warming

Is that a decal on the axe or is he a genius and wrote his script on his axe?

Would've been funny if at first he said, "I'm here to show you my wood."

What a fantastic dissertation of life as to how should live it !!!!!

He may be more overhill than Underhill, but it's always nice to see him.

I love Roy Underhill. I have just come to learn he holds the title for "World's Most Out Of Breath Man."

The Adz is a Vicious Taskmaster... if you miss your Target, a Properly Sharpened Adz Will Cut Through Yer Boot No Problem... Valuable Experience paid in Blood... 😁

You could tell she didn't want to be on the other end of that tree lol
