jobs: | (Very low speech) He was born in Mezkiritz. Since he was nine years old he has been working at making wooden spoons. At one time there were 57 families in the village and 17 of those worked as spoon-makers. In each family there would be three of four men working at this job. They sell in Valencia, Cataluña and America. They use boxwood to make the spoons. At that time there was work for a lot of people. Now a machine does the work. He takes part in the handicraft fairs. He is not a member of the handicrafts association but he collaborates. He only makes spoons and knives. |

civil war | (The sounds of hammer blows can be heard in the background). During the Civil War he was not called up because he was the eldest. He has never done any smuggling. In the ErroValley there is no future because there is little industry or crafts there. The young people go to Zubiri and to Pamplona to work. |

(In this fragment there is no conversation, only the sound of hammer blows). | |

Basque language: | (The sound of hammer blows in the background). The Basque language began to be lost before the war, and then after the war, the impetus only worsened. Those who had started to learn began to give it up because if it is not spoken it is not learnt. |
| A05 | 00:16:41 00:22:24 |
jobs: | In the old days when he worked for the industry, he made about 700 spoons per day, just giving them a rough shape and no more. To make a spoon, fully finished, he needs an hour and a half. The tools that he uses are not sold, in the old days they were made to order. |
