hello everyone. it's lidia , i'm jarek welcome in our domidrewno workshop. today's chapter is special. couple months ago, we decided to join woodworking europe facebook group. a few weeks ago administrator of this grouppeter freitag invite us to a special colaboration. the topic of this work was: how to displayor serve a regional speciality. i told lidia about it and her first, quick answer was : ryczka. lidia, what is ryczka? i don't know why ryczka, it was firstthought. i'm not going to translate that.
ryczak it's a kind of little chair likestool lets say. on the begining i thought that it was a special pice of furniture only forour area. we live in a great poland now. but after my research i discovered thatit was popular in the whole poland, just the name was different. here was ryczka. zydel in a different part, taboret, wymborek - no translation :) it's a small stool which was used everywhere . especially in the countryside.
in the kitchen: as a footrest, to assistthe lady working there. you can sit, stand, step on that. you can put something on this little stool. it can be used in a hall as well, to changeyour shoes. you can use it in a cowshed to milk a cow. you can use it in a garden to weed. generaly speaking it was a pice of furniturethat everyone should has. that's right. it was usually small, 40-50 cm high.
was not too heavy but very stable. it was made of 3 pices of wood. we've got one, which is old. we've received it form...nevermind :) from someone who used it for 70 years. it is a very good example. as you can see: 3 pices of wood, usually pine and usually it was white. it's very old. it's a holder here. we don't have a cow, 4 cats only :)
we've decided to build something like thisbut more universal in our workshop not at home. i decided to make this. as you can see it is a bit higher buti think it has more functions. in this position it is about 30 cm high. you can turn it and seat on 40 cm high stool. this last change gives ou you 20 cm. you have 3 height options. it's strong, can be used by 2 peopleto step or seat on it.
there is another hidden feature as well. you can also carry some tools or bottles. i build it in a traditional way, so we cansee all joints through dovetais. handmade :) you will see. that's is all. i think it will be veryuseful hear. there is 1 minus: it is so bright and clean now that i'll feel sorry to stand on it. that is all for now. please watch the movie and enjoy jarekworking and making this piece of furniture.
i'm taking my old one back to the garden. you can keep yours here. thank you :) thank you very much, thank youjarek and see you next time. subtitles by the amara.org community
