It is made in the Erzgebirge region (Ore Mountain Area) of Germany, the
southern part of Saxony, where he was born.

This young man in the video knows what he is doing. Enjoy.

Yes and it's a shame that his tools are so dull! 8-)

I saw some of these for sale the last time I was in Germany. I don't know if this guy made them or not. I would have bought a coupe but was afraid they would get broken on the trip home. I wish I would have asked the shop keeper if they would ship them to the US
