Cool, and I complain about my shop….I feel spoiled LOL

Wow Tim … that is just too cool. I have a similar photo of my dad working on the gold leaf for the top of the Iowa Capitol building. It gives you a warm feeling to look at these … and thanks to the photographers who had the forethought to record this bit of history.

Let this also be a reminder to everyone to have your photo taken while you are working in your shops. It will mean the world to your kids.

Very cool. It looks like a shop built table saw complete with chip collection. Yankee ingenuity at it’s finest (and most dangerous LOL)

That’s a great photograph! Looks like your family goes way back in woodworking.

Photos like this are priceless!

This is a wonderful picture. This is a family heirloom that obviously is treasured. My father was a third generation carpenter and I would love to have a picture of him, my grandfather and great grandfather in a setting like this. You are blessed to have this treasured part of your family history.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

What a neat piece of family and woodworking history! Build a nice fame for it.

-- Dust collectors suck.

I wish I had pictures. My grandfather loved woodworking, then it skipped a generation…, and I have no descendants.

-- Maplewood, MN

Gotta luv the chip collector in that photo. I wonder if thats a half a days work or a full day. I have a photograph of my great grandfather standing infront of his hardware store back in the ol horse and buggy days. The Livery is right next door. Old photos are cool, no doubt.

-- If you can't find the time to do it properly, how will you find the time to fix it ?

how wonderful.
this is indeed a very, very special photo
