There is a video of a 1900s style workshop in use today in Norway. All of his tools that I could see are hand powered, including two drill presses, wood and metal lathes, large sharpening wheel, scroll saw, stationary belt sander, etc., and a blacksmithing area. Much of it is treadle powered.
Some of his hand powered tools are made from somewhat modern parts combined with treadle set-ups that are old. Such is the case with his bench belt sander and his equivalent of a Dremel tool.
It is an interesting video, and I don't know if it is intended to be a demonstration shop or what. His anvil is from the 1700s. His metal lathe is from around 1890.
To find it go to YouTube, and type in "Vintage Treasures, a 1900s workshop tour in the heart of Norway."
At any rate a very interesting video.
Regards,
Stew
