It’s mind boggling when you think about how far we have come in a little over a hundred years.
Not that this wouldn’t still be a viable method.

I didn’t know Fred Flintstone had to employ so many people just for a front wheel.
A 4-man powered lathe !
This was invented in Africa, just like errythang else.
When I was in high school I built 2 mahogany bookcases for my mom. They were 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide . All of it was hand sanded. No belt sanders or orbital sanders….9 tenths of the work building them was sanding. I still have one, my brother has the other, 50 years later…..the wood cost around fifteen dollars each. I priced a 3/4 inch mahogany bookcase similar today and they are over $ 1500 each….
Yep. Still got the pine end tables I built in 8th grade woodshop. Don’t have any idea what they are worth, to me they are priceless. ANd still sturdy too, after almost 50 years…
The cutting tools are interesting.
