The Birth Of A Tool. Part I. Axe Making (by Northmen)

This is a short documentary movie that shows the whole process of how Northmen tools are being hand crafted. “It is a tragedy of the first magnitude that millions of people have ceased to use their hands as hands. Nature has bestowed upon us this great gift which is our hands. If the craze for machinery methods continues, it is highly likely that a time will come when we shall be so incapacitated and weak that we shall begin to curse ourselves for having forgotten the use of the living machines given to us by God.“ Mahathma Ghandi Music by Foreign Fields - “Names and Races“. Special thanks to the band Foreign Fields from Nashvile (especially for Clayton Fike) for allowing to use their music as a soundtrack for our movie. Visit us:
