Building an Old-Style Algonquin Toboggan using Traditional Tools | PIONEER LIFE CIRCA 1700'S

In preparation for venturing alone into the winter wilderness Peter builds an old-style native Algonquin toboggan using tools and techniques from the 1700's. He discusses the toboggan as an essential tool for carrying loads in the winter. He splits out the planks using axe, wedges and fro. He finishes the planks and the cross members on his shaving horse, using a draw knife and crooked knife, then steams them on the open fire, in preparation for bending. He uses snare wire to fasten the cross pieces to the planks.
