Fascinating!

amazing video! while I'm not making any boats. I'm trying to do viking age woodworking "from tree to plank"as well. these videos are an incredible resource. I'd love some in depth looks at the tools you're using and what finds they're based on!

Where’s the evidence for this?

I love woodworking, the idea hewing something from nothing with your hands is incredibly rewarding. The only thing I don't like is how much wastage there is for everything, even if it is necessary to do a job.

Interesting how modern boat building influences reconstruction efforts. Working on the Hardraade ship in Norway we borrow from contemporary Norlands boat building, here in this film it seems that traditional wooden boat building techniques such as we see the Samson boat company employing. We should co-operate, compare notes and hold a symposium at some point. Thanks very much for putting all the effort into making this film all the best, Lucas (volunteer building a viking ship).

1:38 that sail with the face looks fantastic. I know you guys aren't building the new replica with a mast, because there was no mast buried with the original ship and the verdict is somewhat out on north sea peoples having begun sailing at all during this time - but what are the arguments for or against? Iv heard mixed info on if Britain and the Germanic tribes had a sailing culture at this point. Wasn't Britain under Roman rule and influence prior, who did have sailing for quite some time already? The angles adopted Roman Christianity, why not sailing? Is the ship believed to have been built in Jutland or somewhere else and only buried in east Anglia? Would love to know. Anyway I love following the project, i think its really great what yo'ure all doing. Keep up the good work!

Very nice logo

Great video, I am a donnor to the ship, can someone answer this please - as they have rivets from the ship have they chemically tested them to see where the Iron was from? Thanks

Just get some experts to do it, not nerds who picked up a hammer yesterday

Nice to see you have got the trees in at last good luck to them growing

On an island in Sweden the Swedish navy planted oak in a spruce forest in 1500 someting. The oak grew straight towards the sky. The plantation would be used for masts. In 1970 ish it would be delivered but then it was not needed..

Were the Anglosaxons from Scandinavia?

Great video!

Fascinating to watch, but please spare us the appalling muzak. The sound of the tools is music enough.

Wonderful and totally amazing. The research done and the work being done to rebuild is amazing. Using the Outline that was found at Sutton Hoo. It will be outstanding. I have seen it twice so far when visiting Suffolk. Well worth the time and contribute to the project. For those of us no longer living in England or Suffolk! please keep this updated. Thank you.

She's got years to go before being launched! Contribute! Also was told on our Awesome visit that struggling to find trees long enough to harvest for this project!! Hope I see her float...

Nice Shop thank you man

Thanks for this video

Parece un Kayak gigante

Very interesting!, nice that you are going with how the Sutton Hoo ship was actually built, especially the Iron rivets, you naturally called this ship the Anglo Saxon Sutton Hoo Ship? but I am sure that you would really know better? an Anglo Saxon Ship (clinker built) would have Trenails - Wooden pegs (plank atttach) but the SH ship had Iron rivets! which is not Anglo Saxon technique but A British/Welsh Technique, therefore the Saxon Hoo ship was probably British far more than Anglo Saxon as is thought.

Brilliant piece-to-camera Tim

Wow just glides through the water 👍🏻

After visiting the Long shed and the excavation site im fascinated by it all For some one who has all the modern tools but still fall very short of achieving the results I want Fantastic skill with those axes They must be ultra sharp 😂😂😂😂

Went there today whilst the rain fell down and the smell of oak just filled the air ..Well done to everyone involved ...

So much preceding and unseen. Maybe next time.

It was a very interesting couple of hours well spent watching this 'live' some great audience participation with those involved taking time to talk to us. Even met Helen Geake who took time to talk to me. Well done everyone

IN SUTTON HO YOU HAD 1 HELMET BUT SWEDEN HAVE SEVEN LIKE THAT GO SWEDEN

Have you men had your dna done to ascertain whether you are related to the Anglo-Saxon settlers of East Anglia?? Me and my family had ours done and on my fathers side, we are Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and Slavic! My dna tests linked me to the Billingtons from a former hamlet near Stafford. So I guess I am a Mercian haha. Continue the fine work fellas. Rob.

Exciting work! At 9:52, is that a knot in the stem joint?

An air hammer would be nice.

Fascinating to see the progress.

Interesting, but it would be great to have a short introduction with these to provide the viewer with some context.

Have they chemically analysed the rivets metal ? Can we tell where the iron came from by its properties? Cheers

That hammer gets very close to the eyes at times. Better watch that.

9/22/22-11/16/22 Work faster! Lol

Haha, most hobbyists would need more time to get out their power saw!

Amazing touch with the axes.

Aha! From a Hainault tree! Amazing how much wood had to be removed to uncover the underloute (a la Michelangelo).

I've learned little here, what is this part , where does it go, why is it shaped the way it is. Why so much wastage

Lovely story. Wonderful artifact. Does seem a bit strange that the Museum crew gave away such an important artifact - even if there were a lot of them.

Perhaps a hint about what we are seeing. (Mystery explained. Just found the underloute clip.)

Just Wow! So Skilled.

Lovely Ol'Job

90feet, that's a long ship!! !!!!
