Good news! Making one of these is almost a rite of passage in the recreation world, so there are tons of analysis, examples and plans for making your own.
Have you ever watched Roy Underhill - The Woodwright’s Shop?
I grew up watching him, and he’s still today considered like the modern day master of woodworking, without power tools. His PBS series went on for over 20 years, and he’s still doing his thing.
I wanted to find his very first episode, but can’t seem to find it today. He announced his intent from day one, to educate people on classical woodworking, and he never failed to disappoint.
Check his toolbox on the intro, and just spend a little time watching a few episodes at least…
I hope they can continue to keep it preserved in the museum.
Would be neat as hell to see a modern day recreation of these tools and toolbox.
