Woodworking / Tool Trip to Maine - Suggestions?

How about t-chisels shop

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Thanks, Jim, but I believe he is just past Boston in Canton. That’s a bit farther than I’m travelling this time. We had a great time in Boston a couple of years ago so I was trying to talk my wife into going there again this time but the logistics just won’t work. :( I have added this to my next Boston trip. Thanks, again.

Cook’s Lobster house in Brunswick (actually Bailey’s Island) and the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath has (or had) a lot of old wood working tools on display.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Thanks, Brian, for both of these suggestions. This area of Maine looks to be very interesting. And coming from a seafaring area myself I can identify with shipbuilding and lobster, definitely lobster. :) Thanks!

I know that camden and rockport both have boat builders and musical instrument makers. Guitars, harpsichords, etc.

Shaker village

I live in southern Maine and didn’t know some of the stuff you mentioned.
