I had the privilege of visiting Colonial Williamsburg several years ago and this was one of my favorite shops. If you ever get a chance to visit, do so.
Great! I would love to see a longer version - these guys have so much to teach and share.
Thanks for this great series of videos. Interesting to see people who obviously have their family origins in Germany or Europe as a whole, so dedicated to the task of authentically maintaining an English heritage site purely because of its significance to the wider community.
Precision artists and craftsmen - top guys all of 'em!
You're right Trevor!
I't been a pleasure seeing these men at work! Thanks for sharing. It would be great to see the doing more.
That's the kind of lathe I want, no joke! Loved the tour and this video series. Very special stuff, thank you.
Looks like a new lathe at 09:50 into the video. I remember Mack Headly using a pole lathe when I visited there.
Tom Baker Yup, and they've got another one coming too.
Only the watching of this men reduces the heart bpm and you relax...

How did they prevent those tools from rusting in the shop? I asume those timber frame shops are not insulated?
Kaare Loftheim, sounds very Norwegian.
Hi, I really love your videos on traditional woodworking, For me as a norwegian, I found this one particularly interesting as I can tell from the name that Mr. Kaare Loftheim is of norwegian or at least scandinavian origins.
Anyways: something completely different: I was wondering if there is any traditional/manual woodworking-alternative to a drill press that can be found nowadays? It seems like there is quite easy to find hand held traditional drills (eggbeaters etc.), but I rarely hear anything about traditional non-electric drill presses.
Espen Johansen yes, Kaare Loftheim's grandparents are all from Norway and Kaare has been there and is in love with Norway. I've been to Norway twice and love it. My family is from Numedal, so I'm very interested in Norwegian furniture. Where do you live in Norway?
Yes, I have seen non-electric drill presses, but I don't think any are made now. If you ever watch episodes of the Woodwright's Shop, you'll see Roy Underhill's drill press. You can find many free episodes here: video.pbs.org/program/woodwrights-shop/episodes/
Wood and Shop Your family is from a really nice area of Norway! I guess there is some inspiration for a woodworker to find in the old stave churches and the wood carvings from the viking age :)
I myself live in Bergen, the second most populated city in Norway, but grew up in the city of Trondheim. I hope you get a chance to go back here, I'm pretty sure you will find some experts on traditional norwegian woodworking to meet up with :)
I will look into the link you posted. I still find it strange that there isn't any non-electric drill presses beeing produced, since it seems like a drill press is one of the most used tools in a modern woodworkers shop. I would love to be able to make precise 90 degree holes without a bulky noisy powetool.
Espen Johansen I don't think the drill press was used as widely in ages past. Many reproduction makers I know do not own one.
Espen Johansen Yes, I loved visiting Numedal valley. Yes, I have many pictures of beautiful woodwork from Numedal, and I hope to build some someday!
You are very fortunate to live in Bergen. My wife and I loved visiting there, and hope to return with our children sometime soon. It is such a special place. I would also love to visit Trondheim.
Please let me know if you find any non-electric drill presses on the market!
Are visitors allowed to simply walk into the shop and look around and if so, how do they get any work accomplished?
Colonial Williamsburg is a living museum, so their main purpose is to talk with visitors. They still do have deadlines for furniture projects. But they told me that they usually switch the task of answering questions.
Wonderful! Thank you!
