Hi Again All.
You may have seen my thread about my trip the the Black Creek pioneer Village.
I though that you may like to see these photo's of some of the work benches that they have on display, the guy that runs their cabinet maker's work shop told me that they were about 150 years old and were of English/European designe, the one with the leg vice and solid slab top was use by a gun maker.
He also showed me a foot powered table saw that is also from those time's, it must have been a state of the art tool in it's day:).
Anyway hope that you enjoy the photo's as much as I enjoyed my trip to this place.
Cheers...Graham Skinner....
