As vintage-style interiors become popular, furniture made from 'Hanok old wood' is gaining attention. However, as Hanoks are gradually disappearing around us, it has become difficult to obtain 'Hanok old wood'. Therefore, carpenters rush to any place in the country when they hear news of Hanok demolition. However, obtaining 'old wood' during the Hanok demolition process is also not easy. The Hanok demolition work, which is carried out in the opposite order of Hanok construction, begins with taking down the roof. Moving thousands of tiles one by one by hand and removing the yellow soil piled up for insulation is truly arduous and tedious work. However, this is a process that must be completed in order to obtain 'Hanok old wood'. The dust generated from the dried soil and the wood that has rotted due to the weight of time are hidden dangers that make it difficult for workers. After the demolition of the Hanok, which takes a whole week, the carpenter finally gets the best wood. However, it doesn't end here. The process of making 'Hanok old wood furniture' also requires patience. The washing process that is done until your hands are sore to remove old dust is impossible without a love for wood. People who sweat and work hard to get the best wood and trim and make it every day. We meet carpenters who are trying to make a meaningful transformation of Hanok materials. - Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do, The feeling of the trees piled up on the site of over a thousand pyeong is quite different from ordinary wood. It is none other than 'old wood' from our traditional Hanok. Here, furniture and interior decoration items are made with 'old wood' every day. The 'Hanok old wood' airlifted from all over the country is first removed from the nails stuck here and there and trimmed into the necessary materials. Since it is a task that requires accurate and quick cutting, the tension from the saw blade must always be maintained. In addition, when working on delicate items, the carving knife must be supported with one finger to shape it. Also, unlike 'new wood', it requires wiping off dust, removing oil stains, and special polishing, so it takes three to four times more work than regular wood. Meanwhile, a hanok stands out among the densely packed residential areas in the middle of Seoul. This place, which has 80 years of history, is currently undergoing demolition work according to the owner's decision. Although it would be a scale that could be completed in just two days using a forklift, everything is done by hand to revive most of the materials, including 'old hanok wood'. Workers carrying 4,000 tiles and unloading 2.5 tons of soil. Fortunately, most of the wood here is in good condition. Therefore, it is a big task to dismantle it so that the wood is damaged as little as possible. The rafters, which each weigh 200 kg, require five or six carpenters to move. Despite all this hard work, we meet the carpenters who are wiping away sweat today with the satisfaction of being able to revive old trees and recycle resources. ✔ Program name: Extreme Job - Recycling of Hanok Materials ✔ Broadcast date: 2015.09.23 #TVViewingCholladaeDocumentary
