@mysticseaportmuseum: Replying to @Dave Watts We’re back in the James Driggs Shipsmith Shop today, answering your questions and exploring the drill presses! 🔨 #drillpress #blacksmith #blacksmithing #museumtok #19thcentury #history #drilling
curious on the drill feed. if the bit hasn't drilled enough material out yet, will the push lever just hop over the tooth or does it actually apply pressure?

Those drill presses are gorgeous. It shows that people have ALWAYS been intelligent, it’s not a modern thing.

Any chance your related to Henry Watts who passed away this year? He was my neighbor and the best dentist I've ever seen.

What no batteries. No electricity. How is the government supposed to control this.

I remodel and repair houses and I love these old tools that still work blacksmithing or carpentry.

I used to be an apprentice in a wood working shop in my youth and we used a lot of old foot and hand drill presses and mortise and tenon drill press. Modern machines can’t reproduce the quality

Beautiful machines....What happens if the drill bit has not bore out the steel creating depth in the hole you're cutting? Will you damage the drill bit? Is there enough downward pressure to snap

those drill presses are incredible! I love old machines and tools! I am so afraid that our society is losing artisan skills and trades.
