    Horse treadmill and other photos from the 2016 Goschenhoppen Folk Festival

    Horse powered (treadmill) grain thresher


    Fence hole post drill


    Foot powered lathe


    Pit saw set-up


    Wooden geared rope maker
    Standing end


    Travelling end - demonstrator stands on plank and turns handle- whole apparatus travels forward as twist in rope develops


    Cobblestone maker



    Knife and other blade sharpener - note water dripping on stone


    Several years ago at the festival a fellow craftsman asked me to make a small fish trap to catsh sunfish and other small fish in his farm pond. He never picked up the trap so I kept the trap for display.

    Brilliant! It's like going back to a time when the world made more sense. The craftsmanship on that trap is amazing.
    Thanks for sharing!
