Wood: a valuable raw material.00:00:13
Ralf Mattern from Deidesheim is a cooper.00:00:16
He builds barrels from 200-year-old oak.00:00:21
When choosing the wood, he also relies on his nose.00:00:25
When you walk through the warehouse,00:00:27
you actually notice the different smells,00:00:31
vanilla, spice and, I would almost say, herbs.00:00:36
You can smell it in there.00:00:40
We introduce you to three artisans who00:00:43
have turned their passion for wood into their profession.00:00:49
Heiko Kircher from Elchesheim-Illingen00:00:52
builds boats according to an old family tradition.00:00:56
Every wood has its own character00:00:59
and special properties.00:01:02
It's pine, and my great-grandfather used it.00:01:05
My grandpa, my father, now me.00:01:08
It's easy to bend, it's proven itself.00:01:16
Elm, the valuable wood of the elm,00:01:18
was chosen by Leander Sommer from Breitscheid for a table.00:01:22
That doesn't fit.00:01:24
Let's put that here.00:01:27
The selection of suitable planks is particularly important for the carpenter.00:01:32
I'm planing them now00:01:34
so you can see if they match in color.00:01:37
You can see that better when all the dirt is gone.00:01:45
Yes, the colors go very well together.00:01:49
But let's take it one at a time.00:01:51
First we visit Ralf Mattern:00:01:53
fascinating insights into the cooper's trade.00:01:58
Today Ralf Mattern starts with a 3,000 liter barrel00:02:01
for a winery on the Moselle.00:02:04
It will take him a good four days.00:02:08
(Sound of sawing)00:02:12
He takes a close look at each of the 50 staves.00:02:17
(sound of sawing)00:02:29
Together with his assistant, Ralf Mattern lengthens the staves.00:02:34
The barrel will be about 1.80 meters high.00:02:48
Well, actually from the beginning to the end,00:02:50
from the tree trunk to the finished barrel,00:02:53
we actually have a bit of a stake in the quality of the wine.00:03:01
Ralf Mattern planes the staves into shape with this machine.00:03:11
The massive boards are slimmed down in the middle.00:03:19
The planing serves to enable me to bend it better.00:03:22
So with fire or steam, no matter how they're bent,00:03:26
it's easier to bend when it's tapered00:03:29
in the middle, in the stomach area, so there aren't any breakers later on either.00:03:33
In other words, so that they remain permanently bent00:03:36
and no stress cracks develop later either, which is00:03:38
why they are planed out.00:03:46
Then Ralf Mattern lays out the staves in the right order.00:04:06
Also an important preparatory work: Drawing in the middle.00:04:10
It doesn't work without this mark.00:04:15
Later we will start from the center line for laying the floor,00:04:19
for the tire bearings, for the positions.00:04:22
It's simply that the barrel is straight00:04:24
and not crooked or twisted then lies in the cellar.00:04:31
After a day's work, the time has come.00:04:35
Ralf Mattern and his journeyman put the staves in the hoop.00:04:39
The dress rehearsal for the barrel, so to speak.00:04:53
If everything fits, one stave supports the other.00:04:58
(Dull noises)00:05:04
With his assistant Daniel, he00:05:07
attaches two more tires for attachment.00:05:11
(grinding and sawing noises in the background)00:05:23
Good.00:05:28
Precision work,00:05:30
because the center of all staves must be at the same height.00:05:36
Equal.00:05:40
Fits. - Let's do a check.00:05:48
The barrel is bent over a fire.00:05:59
Ralf Mattern maneuvers00:06:02
the 500-kilogram barrel over the fire with a forklift.00:06:12
Then his employees put two cables around the barrel.00:06:18
But it can only be shaped when it is very hot.00:06:22
Ralf Mattern therefore follows up again.00:06:25
(Thuds)00:06:33
With the firewood you already have a big influence.00:06:36
We only take the scrap wood and the firewood,00:06:39
the sections from the actual barrel, so00:06:42
that the oak is really in it.00:06:44
You also have the difference when grilling,00:06:47
there it is not much different.00:06:49
Whether I use vine wood or grill on beech or oak,00:06:53
there is also a difference. And it is the same here.00:06:57
Of course, this also applies to the wine.00:07:08
Slow.00:07:11
Ralf Mattern repeatedly wets the wood with water00:07:14
so that it slowly becomes flexible.00:07:25
Little by little the staves are closing in.00:07:30
(Clapping noises)00:07:33
(Heavy breathing)00:07:37
The four men heave the hot barrel around.00:07:43
So, turn around.00:07:48
Slowly, the sheets.00:07:54
Yes.00:08:01
Slowly over.00:08:05
And let it slip to you.00:08:11
So that the wood keeps its shape,00:08:13
hoops are also attached on this side.00:08:39
While the barrel is cooling down outside00:08:41
, Ralf Mattern is already preparing the floor.00:08:49
(unintelligible)00:09:13
With the stencil, he draws in the little door,00:09:16
also known as the "manhole" - the entrance for the cooper.00:09:28
Then he marks the position of the dowels00:09:31
with which the solid floor is assembled with a perfect fit.00:09:39
In his workshop, Ralf Mattern uses00:09:43
reed, which he obtains from the region, for grouting according to an age-old tradition.00:09:55
To keep it in place, he applies a tasteless fat.00:10:38
With this 50-kilogram machine, Ralf Mattern mills00:10:41
a groove for the floor into the wood.00:10:45
(Saw noise)00:11:01
(unintelligible)00:11:09
If you leave now, then you can see that I'm doing it alone.00:11:14
Then Ralf Mattern takes another precise measurement of the floor.00:11:20
87.00:11:24
32, 33.00:11:30
Good.00:11:33
Yes.00:11:36
A lot can go wrong when transferring the oval.00:11:49
(Sound of sawing)00:12:10
After the floor has been sawn out, it is milled all around so00:12:13
that it later fits into the groove.00:12:27
Now Ralf Mattern knocks00:12:30
off the top hoops with his journeyman.00:12:36
The joints jump up a bit.00:12:39
Because otherwise it would be impossible to use the floor.00:12:45
Now it's getting exciting.00:12:52
The two men carefully maneuver00:12:54
the heavy soil into the barrel.00:12:58
Good... Yes.00:13:02
It's good there. Other side.00:13:05
(knock) Good.00:13:10
Thanks to its bulbous shape, it is easy to rotate.00:13:19
Except for the entrance, the first floor is finished, in the shell.00:13:34
Now it's the other side's turn and the journeyman disappears inside.00:13:40
And a little before, yes, good.00:13:53
Time for the next step: steaming.00:14:07
This process, during which the wood and reeds swell, takes two hours.00:14:13
At first, the moisture still comes out of the joints.00:14:17
The last tannins collect in the so-called "vintner's tea".00:14:21
Ralf Mattern tastes how wide his barrel is.00:14:29
By steaming, the wood adapts to the shape even more.00:14:34
The aroma becomes even finer, which means that00:14:36
the tannins are once again leached out by the steam.00:14:40
Then the wood becomes milder and simply finer for the wine later.00:14:49
After the barrel has cooled,00:14:52
the old working tires come down for good.00:15:00
(saw noise)00:15:03
Time for fine-tuning.00:15:19
Then Ralf Mattern takes measurements for the new tires.00:15:26
The boss does the last hammer blows alone.00:15:35
Finally, Ralf Mattern applies a saliva-proof toy varnish.00:15:52
This is the final treatment,00:15:55
there is no interior treatment on the wooden barrel.00:15:57
The exterior finish is simply a protection00:16:00
when left in the damp, wet basement00:16:03
that will last for generations.00:16:11
Finally, Ralf Mattern inserts the stainless steel door.00:16:32
He gets between 6,000 and 8,000 euros for such a barrel00:16:35
, depending on the equipment .00:16:39
Almost half of this is material costs.00:16:54
From the Ukraine to South Africa or Australia,00:16:58
Ralf Mattern's barrels from Deidesheim go all over the world.00:17:08
Caution! Hot!00:17:12
The Sommer joinery dries its wood itself00:17:14
in its own drying chamber.00:17:23
Wood is a living material.00:17:26
It can shrink and swell, i.e. shrink or expand,00:17:31
depending on the humidity in the room.00:17:33
Perfectly dried wood is extremely important00:17:36
so that the furniture does not warp later.00:17:40
The elm wood should now have dried down to the point.00:17:48
I now measure the wood moisture again to check00:17:51
whether it has really dried down to seven percent.00:17:57
Yes, that's good.00:18:01
The table will be 1.40 meters.00:18:05
Then we saw that down to 1.45.00:18:09
Then we have a little bit extra.00:18:12
53.00:18:16
Yes, I would just about get the table out, in terms of width.00:18:21
The three planks for the table top are pre-cut.00:18:25
"Cut to length" is what it's called in carpentry.00:18:28
Of course only very roughly and with enough allowance,00:18:31
because there are still many work steps to follow.00:18:43
Leander Sommer separates the wooden planks on the circular saw.00:18:47
This creates the four table legs and the two ridge strips.00:18:51
(Sounds of sawing)00:19:04
The planks for the tabletop also00:19:06
get a treatment on the circular saw.00:19:12
The wane is, so to speak, the outside of the bark area of the tree.00:19:15
Three planks for the top, four legs and two ridge strips:00:19:20
it doesn't take much more to build a table,00:19:23
if you disregard the craftsmanship00:19:25
and many hours of work.00:19:33
Now the boards for the table top are planed –00:19:36
the carpenter calls this “dressing”.00:19:41
(Saw noise)00:19:49
Our board for the table top looks pretty good.00:19:55
But that's not enough planing.00:19:57
Now the boards for the tabletop00:19:59
are brought to the desired thickness.00:20:09
Now Leander Sommer's sense of aesthetics is in demand.00:20:14
The work step, the laying of the picture, is really very important,00:20:18
because it decides whether the table will be beautiful afterwards or not.00:20:27
The journeyman carpenter is not quite satisfied yet.00:20:30
It gets even better.00:20:35
(sound of sawing)00:20:38
Make two out of one.00:20:49
And now?00:20:51
Oh, one part goes on one side and the second part on the other.00:20:55
Now it fits - clever.00:21:03
I split the board00:21:05
because it's nicely mirrored here in the middle.00:21:08
The exterior then fitted quite well00:21:10
when the outside was leaning against it.00:21:12
So I split it in the middle00:21:15
and folded it on both sides.00:21:17
I'm gluing the boards now.00:21:27
These are screw clamps,00:21:29
which I now use to force the boards together00:21:32
so that I have a flat edge here at the front where I apply the glue.00:21:45
The glue should be applied quickly.00:21:49
Now, if the glue is indicated, I have00:21:51
about, yes, five to eight minutes.00:21:54
By then I should have it in the press at the latest.00:22:04
The boards for the table top are ready to be glued.00:22:08
From there into the frame press.00:22:10
Hydraulic pressure is used here.00:22:14
The advantage is that I have a much higher pressure.00:22:17
That I get better guidance results00:22:21
and it also goes faster.00:22:24
A certain speed is also required in our trades,00:22:28
because the customer has to be able to pay for it.00:22:35
Let's continue with the table legs.00:22:37
They are first cut to size.00:22:43
They finally measure 50 by 50 millimeters.00:22:46
And the ridge strips are also processed.00:22:53
These are the four legs, and these are the two ridge strips that00:22:56
keep the table top straight.00:22:59
And the legs are stuck in the ridge.00:23:04
So now we finally know what the two ridge strips are good for.00:23:09
For further treatment of the legs we go to the circular saw.00:23:13
They are now cut off at an angle of six degrees.00:23:18
A hallmark of the table.00:23:20
And a step that is really tricky.00:23:28
Aluminum00:23:30
pivots will later connect the table legs with the hip bar.00:23:41
With aluminum spigots, table legs and ridge strips00:23:44
, it's on to the workbench.00:23:47
I'm going to glue the aluminum bolts here, into the table leg.00:23:53
It is important00:23:55
that you use a good adhesive that also holds.00:24:06
I have to lay them out to dry now.00:24:09
It takes about... yeah, like four to five hours.00:24:13
Then they are dry.00:24:16
Speaking of drying:00:24:18
The freshly glued tabletop can be removed from the frame press.00:24:26
The tabletop is roughly pre-sanded on both sides00:24:28
in the wide-belt sanding machine .00:24:38
"Calibrating" is the technical term,00:24:41
i.e. grinding to the desired thickness.00:24:44
To do this, the plate has to be run through the machine a few times.00:24:54
Our table top gets its final format on the circular saw:00:24:58
1.40 meters in length and 80 centimeters in width.00:25:10
The next step is a particularly tricky one.00:25:17
The ridge groove is the elongated indentation00:25:20
on the underside of the table.00:25:23
Milling requires maximum concentration.00:25:40
The counterpart, the burr tongue,00:25:42
must later fit exactly into the groove.00:25:45
That's the art.00:25:57
Now nothing can go wrong.00:25:59
With the help of the test piece00:26:01
, Leander adjusted the spindle moulder so00:26:04
that he could mill the hip springs perfectly into shape.00:26:12
The carpenter has to concentrate a lot during this work.00:26:15
Hundredths of a millimeter matter.00:26:21
Now it's the turn of the record again.00:26:24
It is further processed on the table milling machine.00:26:28
Now you take that to the front...00:26:30
All four sides of the tabletop get their treatment.00:26:34
The sloping edges are part of Sommer's design.00:26:38
The heavy solid wood panel should not look so bulky00:26:42
and of course look even better.00:26:49
Leander is satisfied with the result.00:26:53
It's just an optical question. This makes the plate appear very thin,00:26:56
although it is actually 25 millimeters thick.00:27:02
Leander wants to continue working on the good looks of the table legs.00:27:07
Again and again it goes over the knives00:27:10
until the leg is much slimmer at the bottom.00:27:27
But now it's good! The legs look really elegant.00:27:31
I've now planed the table legs conically00:27:34
so that they don't look like clumsy elephant feet,00:27:37
but have a certain lightness00:27:40
and fit better with the sloping table.00:27:42
Legs and ridge strips are given the finishing touches by hand.00:27:50
(Blows shortly after.)00:27:53
Yes, because I can only round the edges a bit with my hand.00:27:59
The machine can't do that, or it would be too much00:28:03
if I did it with the machine.00:28:05
And not evenly either.00:28:07
Leander only has the necessary feeling with the sanding block.00:28:13
Our tabletop also gets its finishing touches00:28:16
for a wonderfully smooth surface.00:28:23
It looks easy, but Leander00:28:25
also has to be careful when working with the hand00:28:28
grinder.00:28:30
You shouldn't grind too much in one place.00:28:34
You always have to keep moving.00:28:36
That you don't take away too much in one place.00:28:45
I now have all the parts here ready for assembly:00:28:48
here the ridge strips with the holes00:28:50
for the aluminum pins from the legs00:28:52
and the table top with the two ridge grooves.00:28:55
I will now glue the legs to the ridge strips.00:28:59
I marked which leg fits where best.00:29:06
(Knocking noise)00:29:19
Glued and screwed00:29:21
, the table legs are firmly seated in the hip bar.00:29:25
Now it's getting exciting!00:29:27
Will the ridge strips really fit snugly00:29:29
into the grooves on the underside of the table top?00:29:50
Leander tries to00:29:52
push in the ridge strips by hand - a real feat of strength.00:30:10
The ridge strips are pretty tight.00:30:15
(groans)00:30:19
Sometimes it just takes a little more pressure.00:30:22
But beware: only in good doses.00:30:24
So that nothing goes wrong in the end.00:30:33
The oil brings out the color and grain of the beautiful wood00:30:37
perfectly.00:30:49
Now it's done!00:30:52
The elm table is ready.00:30:54
Many hours of work have gone into it,00:30:56
craftsmanship and a love of wood as a material.00:31:02
Yes, over there, that's good too.00:31:04
Heiko Kircher and his apprentice00:31:06
chose six boards from his wood store.00:31:09
They form the bottom and the sides of the boat.00:31:13
Now the basic structure is drawn with a template,00:31:16
the so-called "scribing". - Bit high.00:31:19
That high, so, so high, yes.00:31:21
Now it's good.00:31:24
We have sawed our sample board.00:31:26
So that we don't have to tear out00:31:29
or mark out freehand every time00:31:31
, we have a sample board for the lower and upper side00:31:34
and for the floor00:31:36
that we can place on it like a template.00:31:39
A bottom and a top side.00:31:43
This is something special. This means00:31:46
that two boards are on top of each other on both sides.00:31:50
This makes the boat higher than the traditional boats,00:31:54
a double-walled boat.00:31:56
An idea of the Kircher family.00:32:02
This boat, let me put it this way, this shape,00:32:04
my grandfather designed it himself.00:32:07
The templates are all from my grandpa.00:32:10
And because this boat shape is so well received,00:32:12
Heiko Kircher's father and Heiko Kircher themselves00:32:16
adopted this design.00:32:19
Then it's time to saw out.00:32:27
These are the two bottom parts.00:32:29
These are the two lower sides, and these are the two upper sides.00:32:33
And these are the six base boards from the floor.00:32:36
And all boards are specially marked.00:32:40
There are a total of three pairs of ribs in the boat that00:32:44
keep the shape and provide stability.00:32:47
And six such reinforcements for the bottom00:32:50
that the bottom keeps its shape.00:32:53
But before the floor reinforcements and the rib parts are made,00:32:57
the six rough-cut base boards00:33:00
have to be planed off.00:33:04
That it is really straight in the right places,00:33:07
that the slope is right afterwards.00:33:09
That everything really fits together exactly.00:33:11
These are things that are not on any template,00:33:14
on any plan, but that is a matter of visual judgement.00:33:17
Knowledge acquired over the years.00:33:21
The bottom of the boat is particularly tricky.00:33:24
Since it consists of two parts,00:33:26
it would be fatal if they didn't fit together 100%.00:33:32
The six base boards are now ready for assembly.00:33:36
What is missing are the ribs, among other things,00:33:39
and they are made from a different wood:00:33:42
heavy oak.00:33:53
Oak is a hardwood.00:33:55
It's much more robust, much more stable than the pine wood, isn't it?00:33:59
Because where the ribs sit is where the bends are.00:34:02
And there's quite a bit of pressure on those ribs00:34:05
from the flex. If that was pine00:34:08
or any softwood, they'd probably snap.00:34:12
The oak wood then holds.00:34:14
Just like the ribs and rear00:34:17
, the front of the boat is also made of oak.00:34:22
Heiko Kircher saws out the individual parts00:34:24
with a so-called "band saw" in his workshop.00:34:29
(Incomprehensible) The00:34:41
cross braces, the floor reinforcements, are00:34:43
not made of oak, but of pine .00:34:54
Six pieces in total.00:34:58
The next morning.00:35:00
Heiko Kircher checks whether he has everything00:35:03
he needs for assembly.00:35:10
So, here we see the almost complete boat.00:35:13
We have the bottom, the side, well, the bottom side.00:35:16
We have the top, the ribs, the head, the posterior.00:35:22
We got the reinforcements from the floor.00:35:25
The actual boat building starts with the underside.00:35:29
In addition to the 120 or so nails00:35:32
, Heiko Kircher also needs 160 screws for his boat.00:35:38
This is an environmentally friendly wood preservative paint.00:35:41
I'm going to paint it on the underside now,00:35:43
because once I've screwed it on, no more paint will ever get there.00:35:48
And this is simply to ensure that the boat lasts longer and00:35:51
that it cannot rot in those places.00:35:55
Next, the floor reinforcements are fixed.00:36:03
And because the floor consists of two boards,00:36:06
they have to be pressed00:36:09
together very tightly with a special clamp before the reinforcements00:36:21
can be screwed on. (Birds chirping)00:36:25
Then it's screwed.00:36:27
72 screws go00:36:31
into the pre-drilled holes in the underside of the boat alone and hold the reinforcements in place.00:36:35
Now it is precisely marked, i.e. drawn,00:36:39
how the head and foot part should look later.00:36:42
This is where the boat walls come in at the front and back.00:36:49
After sawing off the edges00:36:51
, the headboard and footboard are attached to the bottom of the boat.00:36:55
A special adhesive tape is also used.00:36:59
"Terostat tape" is the technical term.00:37:01
Dad used that.00:37:06
But glue alone is not enough.00:37:09
As you can see, that wouldn't really be stable enough.00:37:13
(Birds chirping)00:37:24
Here, too, the screwing is going on again.00:37:40
The next step.00:37:48
So, this is hemp. And I twist it into a hemp cord.00:37:53
And that seals wonderfully between the bottom and the side.00:37:59
Because the floor and the lower side are the parts that00:38:02
are almost exclusively on the water.00:38:05
If the wood should work at some point, it00:38:08
develops quite a lot of strength when it works00:38:11
and it would give way slightly somewhere,00:38:13
then the hemp goes along wonderfully and closes the gap again.00:38:17
Now it's time for the side parts.00:38:20
An art in itself, even if it looks simple.00:38:24
I now position the side so00:38:27
that the side and bottom match up exactly.00:38:29
The side must not stick out too far at the bottom.00:38:32
But it shouldn't sit too high either,00:38:34
otherwise the slope won't fit.00:38:36
Then I press my hemp cord exactly in the middle,00:38:40
because that forms our seal.00:38:44
If everything fits exactly, then I can put the first nail.00:39:01
Now comes a very difficult part.00:39:04
The floorboards are bent down in the middle00:39:07
and up on the outsides.00:39:11
This pushes the bottom down so00:39:13
that if I hoist the boat up slightly at the back,00:39:16
it can move here.00:39:18
So, it's being pressed down.00:39:20
That's the only way I can get excited.00:39:26
This step is particularly difficult at the front.00:39:36
Now I'll fix everything.00:39:38
Now the boat is nailed up at the front. It gets a head.00:39:42
The head is nailed pretty high00:39:44
that the boat runs well in the water afterwards.00:39:46
That it has a nice bend.00:39:48
I'll prepare everything now.00:39:50
And nail by nail I turn the boat up, mill it together00:39:54
so that the side and the bottom fit exactly.00:39:57
That's what makes a real boat.00:40:05
The boat is now curved.00:40:07
The shape is right, but it doesn't hold up yet.00:40:11
The three pairs of ribs made of oak wood are responsible for this.00:40:19
That has a certain appeal when you set things straight.00:40:24
Does everything match? How will it look when it's finished?00:40:28
Did I record correctly?00:40:30
Did I choose the right wood?00:40:38
The upper side panels are the next thing to come.00:40:42
First, the special adhesive is applied again,00:40:44
which also serves as a sealing compound.00:40:48
(Birds chirping)00:40:54
Then the upper side boards are00:40:57
screwed to the lower ones.00:40:59
In order for this to work as desired, however,00:41:01
they must first be fastened with clamps.00:41:06
Now we have set the top side.00:41:08
They are now braced so that they cannot slip.00:41:13
Then we pull the top side in at the back00:41:16
and connect it to our back piece.00:41:19
Then we pull them in at the front and connect them to the headboard.00:41:22
By screwing in, the upper side pulls itself completely00:41:25
to the lower side.00:41:28
The boat is now under a lot of tension, especially at the front.00:41:31
Precision work for Heiko Kircher.00:41:36
Especially at the front, where the tension is greatest,00:41:39
correspondingly large nails have to be inserted.00:41:43
Now everything is screwed together00:41:45
so that the upper side parts fit perfectly.00:41:54
The greatest tension is gone, the supports and clamps can go.00:42:01
Now quickly saw off the remains with a trained eye.00:42:05
And the boat is done!00:42:07
At least the raw version.00:42:15
(groans)00:42:17
The third day. Now it's time for the detail work.00:42:21
First the two rowing rods are cut out.00:42:27
Now I work out the rudder rod so00:42:31
that it gets a nice shape, so that it looks better optically.00:42:36
I marked here where my fork will sit afterwards, my rowing fork.00:42:40
That's upstairs then. This is where the handle part is,00:42:42
and the rudder blade goes at the bottom.00:42:46
Then it's their turn, the oar blades for the two oars.00:42:55
Now only the benches are missing.00:42:58
They consist of two pine boards.00:43:00
A bench comes later in the middle, the other back.00:43:06
The most important detail that is still missing is the so-called "triangle strip",00:43:11
which comes in the seam between the two floor boards.00:43:15
It is, very banally, stapled.00:43:17
This also closes the last possible weak point.00:43:28
Now the wood protection paint comes on.00:43:31
It is essential for the boat.00:43:34
First she comes on the outside.00:43:37
(Birds chirping)00:43:41
You just need them, because00:43:43
if you didn't treat the boat at all,00:43:46
then it would just rot, right?00:43:48
And the effects of the weather would destroy the boat.00:43:56
The oar holders: Of course, nothing works without them.00:44:03
(Birds chirping)00:44:09
Two and a half days of work: the five meter long wooden boat is finished.00:44:14
Just like grandpa built it more than 50 years ago.00:44:21
Launching at the lake: the maiden voyage can begin.00:44:24
Gently, gently, gently. I don't want any water in it.00:44:27
First only with the boat builder.00:44:30
After all, Heiko Kircher has to check00:44:32
whether everything is really in order with his boat.00:44:35
And the boss is happy.00:44:37
(singing:) All good, all perfect.00:44:44
Everything perfect! Super tight, all good, not a drop of water.00:44:50
SWR 2016Description:
Using three craftsmen as examples, we introduce people who work with wood as a raw material: carpenter Leander Sommer, boat builder Heiko Kircher and cooper Ralf Mattern. Table, boat and barrel are created as always in the SWR documentary series "Handwerkskunst!": with care and in a comprehensible way - but above all, nice and slow.
