Wooden Water Flasks.
This video was taken in Romania, where these wooden flasks have been made this way for centuries. The flask he is making dates back to the 15th century, but they are still making and using them! The skill in this video is top class, and you can see that the old traditional tools are still being used. Also note the small wagon in the background. Many people in places like Romania and Russia still rely on skills and equipment from a past era.
