Craft Museum Part 2.


I found this interesting, it's a large draw knife anchored at one end so it can swivel to cut the curves on clogs. The slot is for the clog blank.


This looks like a pit saw arrangement above ground. There were lots of huge two man saws, see below.

This spinning wheel was actually is actually a treadle powered sharpening wheel. The whole thing is mounted on a hand cart and he must have wheeled this door to door.


This shop seemed to specialise in veneered work with a nice chess table on display.


Some of the large pile of walnut veneer on one of the shelves.


A saw clamped up ready for sharpening.


A lovely example of a book or nipping press, with a 3" diameter wooden screw.


The glaziers shop, this time with a leg vice.


A metal workers shop again with a leg vice. It was interesting that of the dozen or so bench on show only one had a tail vice. I don't find much use for them myself either.


Upstairs was a toy museum and even here there were plenty of woodworking trades on show. Here is a book binders with the edge trimmings from completed books.


And just when I thought the woodworking experience was over I spotted some old woodworking machines in the farm machinery display outside. A pair of old band saws from the 1850's.


An extremely solid surface planer.


A huge disc sander.

and finally a hand cranked grinding wheel. So all in all a great morning! Needless to say if you ever find yourself in the area I would highly recommend a visit.
