Check out my above video of my private tour of the water-powered, belt-driven woodworking machine shop at the historical Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. I’ll admit that I forgot to publish this last year along with the other videos!

Hancock volunteer Ted Williams gave Will Myers and I a private tour of this workshop, and let us use the belt-driven lathe and bandsaw (a rare treat)! If you missed the previous parts, watch them here to learn more about this incredible Shaker village and about the furniture-making DVDs that Will Myers and I filmed footage for there. Here’s a few other photographs of this beautiful Hancock Shaker Village:
