In the film: Viking Voyages - (produced and directed by Bo Landin, a co-production with Discovery Channel) is a clip with three rune carvers working on the same stone, the Carlsund runestone.

The clip is there because of new evidence found with laser scanning on chisel marks on old runestones. Now we know that it have been up to three rune carvers on one runestone.
