MikeMcNamee Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I visited a working woodshop in Sarchí, Costa Rica recently where almost all of the large power tools were powered by a large water wheel. Didn't know shops like this still existed. Some pics: http://www.facebook....=1&l=8d48e8a233 Not many safety features on those tools! Enjoy, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckkisser Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 pretty cool i know water mills were pretty common back a 100 years ago glad they still run somewhere so that if we ever want to know how they work we can find one. i would run my house on it if i could Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jHop Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Very impressive! I'm a little surprised they don't have a hood over that forge, though. and I love their dust collection system... wish I still had a shovel that big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skunkeye Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Love the ergonomics of that drill! Let's put the work surface at knee level, that's the ticket! Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
