On a brawl in the ethnographic museum.
Kuba, what'd you do? A brawl.
Here's the 'Grociarnia', an ethnographic museum in Jastrzębia
and we're making
a photogrammetry of the objects
that will be
put into a game.
Welcome.
We're in the 'Grociarnia' (polish: 'The Lumber-Room')
– what's that? It's an ethnographic museum
located in Jastrzębia, near Ciężkowice city.
All of this behind me
is a part of our exhibits.
Those were collected
for nearly 40 years at the initiative of
some concerned people that lived here
– Mr. Mieczysław Król and Mr. Józef Pyrek.
I'd like to show you one of the oldest exhibits,
maybe even
the oldest one in 'Grociarnia'.
It is a well timbering
interesting because made completely from wood
hollowed out in the pine trunk.
We can assume by its size
that this tree
can be
ca. 300 years old
if we look on the wood grain.
There are some marks after knots so
it is the upper part of pine.
It's been not far away from here,
around 2 kilometres,
in a place where they started to dig a well
30 years ago
During that, they came across
something hard so they started to fight with it,
as you can see
the tube is cut.
After a while the workers
found out that they dig in the place
of former well which had existed
there before
but had been covered with mud.
Then they pulled this out and noticed
that it was a very
valuable part of some
wooden tube.
The rest is in very good shape.
So this is a part of well
timbering that is
hundreds of years old.
We've got the old well here,
I mean they were using the hollowed
pine wood instead of well circles.
We can't see anything so
so it would require some additional lighting.
What I have is
a door lock
– a wooden one.
The great great ancestor of our current door lock systems.
It works like this, look
I'm not pulling the bar,
I can't.
I'm turning the wooden key
and now I can
open
and lock it.
And here's
how the key looks like.
We're trying to lighten it all up and settle
to avoid
the shadows
and dark spots
it needs to be lit from all sides equally.
We're doing so because
we can't move these big
objects so
we need to adjust to the circumstances.
Another thing that I'd like to show you
is a device to
make twines
linen or hemp ropes.
Such device
always had two parts.
The first one with a crank handle
and holders for tiny twines,
and the other part
was few metres farther,
where somebody
was holding it loaded
with a stone or group of kids which were
bored at that time.
Those twines must be put on and interwoven
by the crank
handle
to make a thicker halter like this.
or like this
And that is how they've
been making e.g. halter to graze cows.
Now we're taking the pictures of a wardrobe
and we'll probably need to renovate all those things here. (in software)
Or maybe we'll use a different idea…
When I hold this thing
I suddenly smile because
I can predict people's reaction.
This looks like the rolling pin
– a huge one,
a symbolic thing that was
like a scepter for all women,
they've been bossing around and punishing disloyal husbands. (sarkasm)
But no
it's not a rolling pin, because first
it has a hole here,
a place to grab it
and a moving part
that is protractile ended with a piston.
So it is like a big version of syringe,
it's called in old polish language the 'sikawka'.
They've been
putting it to the water
pulling
this piston
so the 'sikawka' was filled with water
and when they've been
pushing the piston
the water was spouting
at long distance.
This was used by
the firemen in old days
who had only had a container for water with a lid,
and 'sikawkas'
and maybe a bucket.
But such a sikawka
spouted the water the farthest
so it was used to put out
the house fire.
There is also another use of it,
a more entertaining one
– the Easter Monday
and so-called
'Śmigus-dyngus'. ( very old slavic fete)
Back then, everyone who had it
or was a member of fire brigade
could easily assume
that there won't be a girl
who could run away from them.
It was very useful then.
(on "Smigus Dyngus" day)
A thing of beauty. Also cheap – the flour.
Now I'd like to show you
a weird and mysterious thing
that was a replacement for tablets,
smartphones or computers
in case of young ladies in old days.
It takes a lot of time
to work with it.
Thus, girls equipped
equipped
with these wire brushes,
very sharp ones
(they could be decorated as well),
were
combing flax fiber from hard but broken
linseed or hemp stalks
during long autumn evenings
– so they made a fiber that was
later transformed into bunches and
then interwoven into the thread on reels.
Why here's the tissue…?
A very strange and mysterious
device on my right side
is mostly made
from wood
– it used to have a leather
between those planks as well.
In front it
looks like
a pig snout
with hole
– raise and lowered
up and down
it was used as a bell smith
that provided the fire
with a fresh air
so the blacksmith
could heat up
and create for example
the horseshoes.
Here's some riddle for you.
A water trap, the wooden key
– mouse got away,
it caught the cat.
The wooden screw
it's hard to imagine nowadays
that there was something like wooden bolt
or screw
like this one
or those in here that cramps the boards together
but there was a need
to create such a such screw
that obviously functions even today.
And they were used
in all devices that required
something to be tightened
turned, or clamped.
Those were the basic tools in carpentry
nd we're in front of
the former carpenter's workshop.
