Sheffield, England.

Some of the old tool manufacturers still exist around that part of england.

Joseph marples
Thomas Flinn
Ernest wright

Theres also a local airport, doubt you could get a direct flight but a major airport to Sheffield airport is doable.

Sounds like you and Rex Kruger would be a great pair up.

[professor]

I would suggest interviewing Paul Sellars. What knowledge that wonderful man has!

[ethanshannon]

Michigan Renaissance Festival in Holly, Michigan this fall. It will have artisans from pottery making to woodworking, to blacksmithing to glass blowing to paper marking showing their craft on the grounds. You’ll be able to meet many people that will expand your knowledge of old hand tools in a variety of disciplines.

And your family will love the day there.

@EoinReardon is an amazing woodworker that I would love for you to visit. Every Tursdai Fraidai and Saturdai at Bon-ratti Castle! Ireland!

[NamesElliot]

If you’re going to cross the pond to the UK and surrounding areas, it’d be hard to miss out on Sellers, Reardon and Estlea!

For your dream list: Wallachian Open Air Museum in Roznov Pod Radhostem Czechia during the annual artisan’s fair in June. You will see hand tool woodworking skill that are in actual living memory. My favorite was trying the wooden pipe borer and adzing a rain gutter. Make sure you get the additional ticket to visit the mill valley. You can definitely get by without speaking Czech.

Eoin Reardon here on YT… it would be fun to see you both together…

The Mercer Museum - Doylestown, PA, a collection of tools as collected a hundred years ago.
Squire Boone Homestead - Exter, PA, has a water powered up and down sawmill.
Bethlehem Steel Works

Old Sturbridge Village, east of Boston. They have quite a number of wood related sites, including a real water-powered saw mill.

Also Old Williamsburg in Virginia. They not only have great wood working shops, but also a large building housing beautiful hand/made colonial furniture. They also display many tool kits made by the actual individual colonial craftsmen.

"Den gamle by" in english its directly translated to "the old town", located in the city Århus in Denmark

"The old town" is a museum of how Denmark was back in the day. With old houses, roads, people in old clothes. Old houses in Denmark have been moved to this museum, stone for stone, beams and everything. Marked one by one and moved.

To preserve all these old houses, and old furniture, there are group of old school workers, some od them woodworkers, who does everything, like back in the good old days 😉. Showing and preserving both the tools and the skills.

The American Swedish institute is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is in/maintains the Turnblad mansion which has amazing woodwork throughout. I would highly recommend checking it out. I think Stumpy Nubs lives in Michigan somewhere as well and so might not be too far a trip to visit him and his shop. Many people have mentioned visiting Eown in Ireland which would be cool. The Stave churches in Norway would be amazing to see as their some of the oldest wooden structures in the world that are still intact. Likewise I think Norway also has the worlds tallest wooden building Mjøstårnet which is 280 ft tall. Some of first ideas I can think of at the moment.

Heritage park in Calgary Alberta is a wonderfull place with many different woodworking styles and processes that are used throughout.

[joelmckinley]

The Wood Wrights shop and Elia Bizzarri. Both in North Carolina

[joshuaelek]

Maybe you could go to the Royall House & Slave Quarters Museum in Medford, MA. You can talk about Francis Nicholson who lived in Wrentham (48 minutes south) and his slave Cesar Chelor. Nicholson is the earliest known plane maker in the US and he freed Chelor when he died. Chelor went on to make his business crafting and selling his own planes, hundreds of which are still around today and sell for thousands of dollars.

From my "return" list:
Hull-Oakes Lumber Co. outside Bellfountain OR. - one of the last steam-powered old-growth sawmills in the country.
Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield MA.
From my bucket list:
Tremont Nails, Wareham MA
Sindalar Tool Museum, Edwardsburg, MI

[Eulemunin]

If you ever get up around Duluth MN, find were ever John Finkle has his boat shop.

[misterjive]

I think that fellow YouTuber Eoin Reardon would be a great person to meet up with in the UK. A young man with a wealth of knowledge and good humor. That would be an excellent video series.

Benjamin Seaton's tool chest in Rochester UK. Totally up your street. It's from the 1790s and complete

[JohnWoods-mc]

I saw a wwii hand “chain saw” the other day and I found it very interesting. Military field woodworking. Cannons, wagons, shelters earthworks all needed to be repaired or constructed on site often by the soldiers who were there and often not super skilled craftsmen. What was in there kit? How did they use it? All that stuff.
