Visit to de Rouvilles Boat Shop

by jasonwall In: News
Visit to de Rouvilles Boat Shop 1 by - Wall Woodworks CoWalking into what seems like a tiny five or six bay garage, I get slapped in the face by this behemoth. Now it doesn’t look like much from that little seal on the left but let me tell you I have an appreciation for old tools and rumor has it that one of these beasts use to be powered by something other then electric. Mother nature was good enough for boys back in the 1800’s. But guess what? There were two of them. What am I talking about your saying? Well only two of the most massive looking band saws I have ever layed eyes upon in my short life.

Below are the two I speak of…Visit to de Rouvilles Boat Shop 2 by - Wall Woodworks Co

The fellow that was kind enough to let me into their shop was working on a mast at the time. He explained the fabrication process, the different cutter heads that they use on their shaper, and the gluing process. Interesting stuff for me.

At any rate his voice was like a murmur, as I couldn’t get over the history in those two saws, the carpenters that had used them, and the amounts of sawdust they had made. The other tools of note was their shaper of course which just looked terrifying, an amazing old table saw which I believe was a delta, and a jointer that was equally amazing. There was an amazing amount of eye candy for me in here. I felt like I was bothering  the guy that was trying too work, but he assured me that I wasn’t.

I thought to myself, “Seeing all this history really made my week, one of these days Wall Woodworks will contain beasts like these!”
