This not motorcycle related but I know that some of you are as fascinated by old machines and methods as I am.

If you have 1/2 hour to spare, I think you will enjoy watching this video.
It is one of Roy Underhill's 2007 TV shows.

As you may know, Roy is into wood working with very old tools using old time methods.  Some of the things he does are quite amazing.

Getting back to this particular show, if you watch it just imagine working in a shop like it shows.
 
 No OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) rules here!
It is what our forefathers had to deal with on a day to day basis 130 years ago.
Forget what your doing or where your standing and you might not make it home for dinner.

Enjoy!

I used to watch his show regularly.  He made fun of Norm from New Yankee Workshop one time - I nearly peed myself.  "Where are my measured drawings?"
