18th Century Woodshop found in Boston

Post by tomsalwasser »

Hard to believe this was undisturbed and undiscovered all these years. Apparently it had been used as a storage building.

The shop isn't actually in Boston but in Duxbury, which is a far more rural community. Still an amazing story.
Gale's Law: The bigger the woodworking project, the less the mistakes show in any photo taken far enough away to show the entire project!
