Acc...Hi Doug.<br /><br />I can help you with the translation.<br />According to my father who is a retired sløjd teacher, one of the main directions in the Danish sløjd education was against the use of knives. I can't remember if it was Askov or Dansk Skolesløjd. <br />The opposition against the use of knives was that it did not help the pupils to get a good posture. It is kind of hard to sit straight and whittle.<br />I liked using the knife though. We whittled propellers for our bicycles, to be mounted on the handlebars.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-89811053486312206222014-12-03T12:20:08.178-06:002014-12-03T12:20:08.178-06:00Hi Doug.

As far ...Hi Doug.<br /><br />I can help with the translation.<br />As far as I know there were two main directions in the Danish sløjd system.<br />One is called Askov and the other one is the Nääs from Sweden.<br />As far as I remember, one of those advocated on the use of knives whereas the other was opposed to knives. Seemingly because it didn't bring any nice posture with it. You can't sit straight up while whittling.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.com
