Craftsmen School for carpenters. Nordland, Norway 1970's

            Credit to Erik Stein Gabrielsen & Nordlandsmuseet.
There are no info about Erik, and all the photos are over 50 years old.
The photos was quite small, so I have enlarge them and made them brighter, more clear.
The carpenter sitting up on the shelf is amazing in my eyes. So typical Norwegian at that time. Pixie cap and long Viking-Askim rubber boots, there are turned down, so they form the wide white collar, it make him look so fresh and cheeky, and when you have the boot tops turned down, it had the advantage that the boot stuck to your calves without tightening. Rubber boots were also practical footwear for a carpenter, soft, easy to climb up and around in. It's probably winter, so with snow outside the rubber boots are really good.
Sweden:  Gummistövlarna fick precis en nedvikta, det var "tuff" du var en "stygg pojke"
British:  Wellies just got a fold down it was "tough" you were a "naughty boy"
Germany:  Als die Gummistiefel umkremplen waren, war es „geil“ Du signalisierst, dass du ungezogen warst, ein böser Bub, du warst ein geiler Knecht.
British:  The top of the rubber boots just got a turned over, it signaled ''cool'' you were "coolly"
Danish:  Gummistøvlerne fik lige et ombuk, det var "sejt"
Norway:  Gummistøvler der var brettet ned. det var "tøft" du var en "slem gutt"
