ANTIQUE SLIDESHOW: 19TH CENTURY WOODWORKING TOOLS

Thursday, September 24 at 1:00 pm

The men who shaped wood in nineteenth century America – the carpenters, housewrights, shipbuilders, coopers, turners and more – depended upon finely crafted woodworking tools. On Thursday September 24 at 1:00 pm a slideshow on Nineteenth Century Woodworking Tools will be presented. The presentation will attempt to present a broad overview of the types of tools used without dwelling extensively on tools of a particular type or a single trade. While some tools used across many branches of woodworking will be illustrated, an effort will made to present some examples of a highly distinctive tools that were unique to a specific trade. The speaker will be antiques journalist Bob Jackman. OPTIONAL: If you have an antique woodworking tool, bring it to the presentation, and Bob will be happy to offer comments. Admission is free. While the talk will be organized around a sequence of 70 slides, the atmosphere will be informal with questions and answers throughout the presentation. Expect to learn a bit, share some laughs, and have a good time. Admission is free. Please sign up in advance at the front desk or by calling 781-834-5581.
