In this video tour of my workshop dedicated to hand and treadle-powered tools from the 1900.s, I express gratitude to a friend for her support and collaboration. I introduce the concepts of hand crank power tools and treadle-powered tools, explaining their manual operation and versatility without electricity. My workshop, situated underground for consistent temperatures, showcases various sections including woodworking, leather working, and metalworking areas. I provide detailed demonstrations and explanations for tools like the metal lathe, forge, and drill press, each with its unique history and functionality. My collection includes antique tools like hammers, planes, hand drills, and saws, some dating back to the 1700's. I highlight restoration efforts, emphasizing the preservation of vintage tools for future generations. I offer practical advice on acquiring antique tools, whether through local sources, online platforms, or auctions. I reflect on the importance of passing down craftsmanship and tools
