This section is all about us.Why and how the Guild came to be.It also covers all the ‘small print’, i.e. statutes, board, minutes, personal data (GDPR) and member communication - newsletters. Purpose Quote from Article 2 of the bylaws: The Hjortspringbådens Guild has the overall goal of promoting information about Hjortspringbåden and its history. Subgoals: Build as accurate a replica as possible of the Hjortspring boat using the craftsmanship techniques and replica tools of the time. The building project must attract as much professional expertise as possible to ensure a faithful replicaIn co-operation with local, regional and national institutions, gather knowledge about the history of the Hjortspring Boat and the shipbuilding of this periodSikre at den byggede kopi af Hjortspringbåden opbevares forsvarligt i nærheden af Hjortspringområdet, at den bliver afprøvet i praksis og dernæst anvendt i udstillingsøjemedConduct educational activities to increase awareness of the history of the Hjortspring boat and the Hjortspring areaTo fulfil the above, we have established a close collaboration with the National Museum in Copenhagen and Roskilde, as well as established a ‘scientific network’ of people with special knowledge of interest to the Guild. Johs. V. Jensen has in the song:How fair smiles the Danish coastin verse 6, interpreted knowledge of and respect for the past as an essential cultural component of society: ...What the hand moulds are the traces of the spirit,With flint the old farmer has carved and fought.Every chip you find in the soil of Denmarkis the soul of those who built the kingdom.Will even you understandThe root of thy being,Estimate the treasures..,they left behind....

The Smithy was inaugurated on 5 October 2002.Aces and tools were donated by master blacksmith Peter Matthiesen, Holm. Blacksmith's ace The forge was built so that we could make replicas of the Hjortspring find's weapons, spears, lances and swords. We have also made replicas of azdes and our beloved ‘Hjortspring iron’.At the beginning of the guild's existence, we had borrowed a forge at Danebod Højskole in Fynshav. Knifesmithing At some point, the school was closed down and some ‘knife smiths’ became homeless. As some of them were also members of the Hjortspring Boat Guild, it was natural that they all joined the guild.They brought their own tools, anvils, gas burner, grinder, welder and tempering furnace.The press shown is built here.

The boat hall is also used as a workshop, so there are often ‘shavings’ on the floor.The boat is also maintained here. Bådens plads Tilia på sin transportvogn. Foto: Ib Stolberg-Rohr Tilia er altid placeret på transportvognen med styrbord side mod en forhøjning så besøgende kan få fuldt udsyn ned i båden. Udstilling Fotoplancher og stævnstykket. Foto: Ib Stolberg-Rohr Plancherne på endevægen viser de forskellige faser i bådens tilblivelse og afprøvning.Billedet for enden af stævnstykkets horn er fra en af Nationalmuseets opstillinger af den originale Hjortspringbåd.Den "halve" båd forrest er en øvelsesudgave i fuld størrelse af et stævnparti. Det har været brugt, sammen med et midterstykke, til udstillinger rundt om, fx. Danmark, Sverige og Tyskland.Armen med roret er en illustration af en hypotese, fremsat af G. Rosenberg [p. 88], for en evt. anvendelse af de fire klamper, der fundet i stævnen af båden.Den mørke aftegning på rorbladet er en illustration af det fundne stykke af et rorblad i forreste del af båden. Der er ligeledes en aftegning, nederst, på den anden side af roret, svarende til det fundne stykke fra den agterste del af båden [p. 86 - 89]. Igangværende projekt Loke. Det skulle have været en udspændt stammebåd, baseret på den svenske Björkebåd. Foto: Ib Stolberg-Rohr Et igangværende projekt: At lave en båd der er nemmere at håndtere end Tilia.Det er en udspændt stammebåd, med Björkebåden fra ca. 400 evt. som model. Den er fundet i Sverige.Den kaldes Loke, fordi den har været så besværlig!Så besværlig, at den aldrig bliver til en båd. Den får en fremtidig tilværelse som havebænk! Vore fejltagelser i dette projekt vil stadig kunne ses.Projektet viser også hvor vigtigt det er at følge vor egen prioriteringsrækkefølge, det blev fraveget her, suk!Den blå væg, bagerst i billedet, er ved at blive indrettet til at vise værktøj og hjælpemidler, der blev brugt ved bygningen af Tilia Den anden ende af værkstedet. Foto: Ib Stolberg-Rohr I den anden ende af værkstedet har vi opstillet et (vikingetids)telt, hvor vi bl.a. viser en model (svensk) af en skindbeklædt helleristningsbåd. Den viser hvorfor det er nødvendigt med horn på denne type af både. Du kan få forklaringen næste gang du besøger os.Langs væggene er der forskellige arbejdspladser, bl.a. en, hvor gæster kan prøve at bruge vores "hjortspringjern", et værktøj fra ca. år. 1, under kyndig vejledning, de er meget skarpe.
