Since the founding of the Ethnographic Museum in 1919, materials have been collected by donations or acquisitions, and gradually over the years and with the increase in the holdings, the Collection of Traditional Crafts was created, containing a large number of objects related to numerous crafts such as rope making, blacksmithing, carpentry, harness making, wheelwrighting or shoemaking. These tools include axes, hatchets, adzes, files, knives, calipers, hammers, saws and many other. The tools used by craftsmen were most often inherited as in most cases the craft was passed down from father to son, and the craftsman knew how to make some of the tools for his own needs. Some of the tools are specially decorated, which, in addition to their utility, also gives them aesthetic value. It is difficult to recognize certain names since over the years the original names have been completely distorted. Since there are fewer and fewer master workshops, their inventory is very interesting and significant for the museum collection, although, unfortunately, not a single workshop has been preserved in its entirety, so the reconstruction of a craftsman's workshop is almost impossible. With the gradual disappearance of old crafts in Croatia, the tools that the craftsmen used, the products they made, and the written documents that testify to their existence are also disappearing. Therefore, by working in the field, filming and documenting the material, we are trying to rescue workshops or their parts from oblivion and complete decay, and in this way to record, preserve and revitalize, but also to present the craft activities of our ancestors.
