Now its time for another installment in our series ice cold aat where we explore the best winds in europe has to offer one of my favorite winter time activities i remember enjoying as a child was racing down snow covered hills on a sled the first one sled was invented in the swiss alps and the Nineteenth Century production eventually stopped there off the cheaper versions became available but now the original sled is enjoying something of a revival. The swiss town of davos lies sixteen hundred meters above sea level it has a long standing tradition of Winter Sports and is the birthplace of the devo sled the classic model made of wood and iron is the most widely used lead in the world most are just cheap copies but the original is available in davos. Became investment do you have to decline and have literally from the old days you got a dog slave for the little one because its easier to use you know you had like that he wanted to go back up with the davos let. Us assume you dont hardly dislike us know how the davidson is comfortable. The first of those lead based on lighter models from norway was built here some one hundred fifty years ago after that and this ran out hundreds of thousands of cheap copies were produced abroad the carpenters in davos couldnt compete with their prices and cease production in the one nine hundred sixty s. The. Plates were even made in communist east germany sculpin argue there were only one or two factories in switzerland that still produce the slides on an industrial scale in years to the couple with three but obviously in a very basic form and they consume a price. So it wasnt the real davos late anyway. And a real davos today has to come from davos if you. Think thats the most common. User carpentry business and davos its a family firm and its Third Generation two and a half years ago he was commissioned by the Tourism Association to build a sled for an ad campaign thats when he decided it was time to bring this Traditional Craft back home. With the help of an online crowd Funding Campaign he decided to offer an alternative to the inferior quality mass produced. To make it worth buying all the materials he wanted to sell twenty sleds in advance on line. I set myself a goal of selling twenty slates in one hundred days made and i thought if i manage that i can be more than satisfied. Hundred days. Sixty five. Overwhelmed by the whole thing. All the materials come from switzerland including the solid ashwood there are one thousand individual steps involved in making the sleds and seven hours of labor. Characteristic. Feature is this reinforcement. To stabilize and reinforce the. Museum gives insight into the longstanding tradition of this local craft. Were originally designed for transporting loads as easily over there. It was Foreign Tourists who began using the sleds for fun and sport. Hosted the First Official sled race. With screws and bolts as in the past. Here. Personalize for the customer prices start at six hundred euros a piece but the original comes with a lifetime guarantee. It is meant to be. From one generation to the next. To use it and then later. The tradition we want to revive. A piece of living history. I need. In there for me to. Sled thats a family heirloom and made in davos. We stay on the subject of handmade things and take a closer look at me on signs they were massively popular between the nineteen twenties to sixtys used in big cities around europe to light up storefronts with their trademark fluorescent glow nowadays theyve been replaced by elie delights for the most part but a bourbon startup called signs has breathed new life into this form of glass blowing. Thomas spend has been a neon do not spend for in the twenty years. It cant be too hot or too cold if its too cold you cant bend it. But the most important thing.
