Interesting video of the last guy making ladders from trees.  A good mix of hand and power tools.  It's all in German, but you get the process.

Still Learning,

I like his clamp to pull the rungs snug.  Very clever.

Great video.  Thanks for posting.  I've been to that area, and it is beautiful.  Too bad I wasn't there during cherry harvest.

I watched that the other day.  Pretty cool!
If you are going down a river at 2 mph and your canoe loses a wheel, how much pancake mix would you need to shingle your roof?
