Wood processing and transportation, the demonstration of the master (super) craft

Ópusztaszer
Completion date:from March 2022
Status:planned

The timber, which arrived in the shape of rafts, was later cut by the people of the Great Plain into planks and then adjusted to the desired size with the so-called gatter saws. The structure of the so-called gatter-house that commemorates this craft is not in poor condition, however, a thorough renovation still proved to be necessary. The information plates and signs need to be either restored or replaced.

An open-air exhibition of the work of the Tisza boatmasters (so-called supers) can be seen on the shore of the lake. The building hosting the exhibition is in good structural condition and does not require additional repairs. However, the exhibition itself is outdated and it is necessary to create a new one. This implies the refurbishment of some items as well as the replacement of the showcase storage and the photo exhibition showing the super craft but also the purchase of new items.
