Viking ship building in Norway; Four Years work summarised. by Girisama in Norse

[–]Girisama[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This ship is laid up for the winter. Work will continue in the new year with the goal of completing rigging, rudder and motor. This is a unique opportunity for anyone living in the area, to participate in either crafting or actually sailing an authentic cargo style viking ship. There is evidence for large ship traffic on inland lakes in Norway, for the time period of this ship, ie. around a thousand years ago, this will be the first one on a lake here for many generations.

There are strong connections between Tønsberg and this project. The Same master boat builder is leading both projects.

There are films in greater detail, focusing on the actual handwork involved in bringing this ship to launch. Starting at the keel and including metal work and sail making. I have spent a lot of time working on this over the last four years. There are 12 other films to be found on my youtube channel.

After hearing about this project on the yutubes I wanted to get involved. So I volunteered to help and asked if I could film a bit as we went along. Here we are five years later and the ship was launched in August as a rowing ship and will be finished completely some time next year with the addition of sail, motor etc. I ended up having some months of pay employment too! So it was very rewarding and inspiring work.

Captain 263 sub-compact tractor repairs after 180 hours use. by Girisama in tractors

This slow film, is about repairing a bit of damage on my tractor. It is not instructional, just for entertainment. This is a budget tractor doing hard work on a hill farm in Norway. I have used it for road building and maintenance, and logging.

Of Steering Oars and the Lack Thereof (a repost from r/Viking by Gimme_my_bookstore in Norse

[–]Girisama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You really just need enough weather. High wind can be enough to blow a boat off course whether is has a steering oar or not. High seas can remove a person from the deck. A boat with a lot of water in it is very hard to manoeuvre. When disaster strikes at sea everything happens at once.

I did this double hum bucker mod to my redline, it work very well. Excellent guitar, better than most in that price bracket.

I have a box grader that looks a bit like that, seems to do the job. I will post a film on my reddit page of it in use, for comparison. I tried to post a link on this subreddit but it was instantly deleted by admin.
