Wood’n Bits Workshop

I thought, since I’ve just posted about bowsaws, that some might be interested in a blog post by Kari Kuhlman.  It presents a wonderful video, done in 1932, of a guy using handtools to create a spoked wheel.  In it, he uses bowsaws on several occasions.  Maybe more importantly, however, is that you can see the level of accuracy that woodworkers achieved with simple, wooden hand tools.  The video runs about 15 minutes so grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and enjoy.

Cheers — Larry
