Osa, jota ilman viikinkiaikainen laiva ei lähde vesille: pajumatto.
Part, without which the Viking ship does not sail: a wicker mat.
Kesän purjehduskausi lähestyy ja sen vuoksi on aika punoa pajumatot viikinkilaivoihin. Niin, ja myös suomalaisiin uiskoihin myös... Eli Sotkan sisustaminen kesää varten on tehty. Pajumattoja tarvitaan painolastikiven alle, jotta kivet eivät kesän aikana pääse hankaamaan pohjalautoja vasten.
Pajumatot eivät synny itsekseen, ne tehdään uudelleen joka kevät. Joten: seuraavaksi laaja kuvareportaasi aiheesta
MITEN TEHDÄÄN PAJUMATOT VIIKINKIAJAN LAIVAAN
sekä muuta pihapuuhailua...
Summer and sailing season is closing, so it is time to weave wicker mats for vikingships. And also for finnish iron age boats. This means that also Sotka´s interior is being prepared.
The mats are needed under the ballast stones, so that the stones will not rub agains the bottom boards of the ship.
The mats needs to be done every spring. So here follows a pictorial lecture on subject
HOW TO MAKE WICKER MATS FOR VIKINGSHIPS
and some country living
1. You start with a father in law, some alluvion, some willow and a clearing saw. Let the father in law cut down the willow.
2. Drag the willow to the trailer.
3. Keep an eye on your dog. She might just find something...
...like a nest full of mice, and like a real miniature pincher she might pinch the miniature mice.
4. Remember to have some coffee and a nap too.
5. At home sort the willows, pics a suitable amount of thick ones to a warp and press them firmly in the ground.
6. Weave with lithe twigs. See that the holes are small enough so that the stones will not fit to fall between them.

7. You can fortify the joints with wicker knots.
8. Remember to relax, for example by a small May Day march aroud the garden, waving the ships flag...
9. Ready mats are sturdy and works very well the whole summer. You will need 6-8 of these.

10. And also remember to celebrate the work well done with your friends...
... even if it is snowing in to your glass of sparkling wine!
Oli mahtavat vapputalkoot! Ilmassa oli puuskittaista vappumarssia kuohuviinin sataessa lasiin. Ja on se hienoa, että niin hyvännäköistä Pujonta-Panua on tarvittaessa saatavilla :D
