Robert 'Mousey' Thompson - Craftsmen of Kilburn, North Yorkshire (mouseman)

This video has no sound.
Documentary video from 1948, shows the many wonderful stages of producing furniture from timber to completed pieces in the workshop in beautiful Kilburn in the North Yorkshire countryside.
Show's the workshop and people woodcarving, adzing, making furniture, wood machining, wood finishing, all in beautiful English Oak.
Fun fact - I actually worked here around 10 years ago, and the workshop and processes are almost identical to this video from 1948, some people who were there at this time had been there since the mid/late 60s, so around 20 years after this video was made.

Yes, indeed, many thanks for posting this.
Made me wondering about the justification of woodpeckers,festool or a highly polished workbench that many RUclipsrs were raving about when compared to the humble setups these craftsmen were using to turn out excellent work

Love this thought, thank you

I agree with you. As a studio furniture maker I think discipline and “skill” are what’s missing inmost shops today.

Those craftsmen are so good they make it look easy. I loved the book ends.
