Carpentry Techniques and Tools from Opposite Sides of the World

In Craft by Woodz, September 20, 2017

Directed by Ian Halter:

“In the summer of 2013 I was selected, as one of ten Boston University students, to travel to Beijing for the purpose of creating a short documentary that explored Chinese culture.

We were asked to try to compare Chinese and American culture if possible. I brought with me some footage of carpenters building a post and beam barn in the U.S. My hope was to find a carpenters in China that were also using traditional methods of building.

The film that was created is a reflection of how similar the techniques, tools and respect for the craft is among carpenters from opposite sides of the world.”
