Where other people or animals do not help us in everyday farm work, the human creative mind will help.
One will help himself as he can best. Over time, he developed his own way of ideas and creativity to make life easier and more pleasant where he normally needed help. Some tools have led to perfection.
These helpers not only got names over time, but found their place in craftsmanship, folk tradition, fairy tales, as well as in books and modern magazines.
If we look better at the silent helpers of our ancestors, we will find out how resourceful they were. Some aids are simply not purchased or ordering.

Working with wood requires its space and comfort. In the gardens, but also houses, we still find a reserved place to cut wood. Wood stump is steadily standing in place every day.
He does not hide from rain or sun, not hinder the strokes or blade of the ax. He is a real dumb collaborator, almost a servant who remembers many strokes. In every house, the garden will find a place for an ax, layer, machete.
Electric quarrels are available today, but an honest old wooden stump has every housewife. It stands in a place where not only wood, boilers or furnaces is split and there are always many chips, bark or thin branches on the ground.
On the stump you can easily cut the amount of pins into the garden. Its assembly and disassembly are immediate.
It is necessary to choose a solid dry stem, sufficiently large, stable and comfortably tall, so that we do not have to hunch at work. It resists the time long, until the last moment. When it disintegrates one day, it is replaced by a new one.

Goat
She is an essential helper of manual sawing. It has its stable place, often next to the stump. It is a bit more movable, more portable, although it will not go anywhere.
On its corners, the farmer prepared wood for the whole winter and a course of the year, hand -held metroomas of wood on its corners.
In the gardens we know two kinds of this helper – goat “horned” with forks to attach wood and comfortable sawing, and “barely” – which helps in the construction and work of larger liquorice or placing boards. Greed goats are often two or three, as needed. Its production is very simple, its help invaluable.

Wooden Kozel is a small chair with a bunny in which the custodian – grandmother. It taps the scythe for mowing grass. It is more convenient than on a pink and it is rather a seasonal helper, connected with the Costs Culture of our ancestors. Sometimes it is additionally used to sprinkle various raw materials.
Kozel for hay
There is a stand or hay dryer, which we can still see today in Orava and Wallachia on meadows. It is used in areas where grass on meadows does not manage to dry to hay, so people had to devise an available way of drying hay for winter for livestock.
It is a fantastic helper for the farmers of the Herb -School’s herbivores, because he will dry a lot of hay and will not complain. It will stand where you build it and dry everything you hang on.
If the hay goat is larger, it can even sleep in it. Somewhere, simple peaks of trees are used, which are stuck in the ground and hay dries on them as a hanger. It’s practical if you need hay and you don’t have a barn or a hay. The well -stored dryer hibernates hay for winter and the animals can be released. You don’t have to feed them laboriously – they’ll find it themselves.
Hambals
In every household, things hang somewhere. At the front of the southern houses of Slovakia we see long hambols for corn and other crops.
Not only the vegetables are dried on the hambal, but also the duvets or linen are ventilated. In short, everything can be hung.
Our Slovak culture produced them in the poor, but also in a great design, decorated with carving – painting. It was used to store tools throughout our territory and its place in every household has been stable for centuries – on the front and above the furnace or even in the bedroom.
Vlk
Every work fits better if it takes a long time. The wooden pedaling vice for working with a two -handed knife is the perfect invention.
It can grasp the objects firmly and release the objects immediately – with the pressure of his jaws open and close. Whoever sits for such a machine will return to it as a comfortable job. Just sit down, step firmly on the pedal and keeps like a wolf in the muzzle everything you can hold.

It is entirely made of wood and its production is simple and mysteriously unknown, because today almost no one produces it.
Many adults come to life when he sees him with his own eyes and remembers his childhood times, when they grated everything that could be sharpened for days.
