Jim Kingschott wrote about his apprenticeship in an old UK magazine and this looks just like what he described.

Thanks. Very careful attention to all the things you might expect to find in a WW shop.
Including me! I'm the old guy/visitor, sitting in the back by the stove.

There's always a rebel who doesn't wear a cap.

special workbench
Looks like the planing bench is lower than all the rest, too. See the fellow nearly bent double over his plane?

Maybe the benches were planned for child labor?
Probably more recently, some wood shops got power from a waterwheel.
Into the shop in the form of a long overhead shaft with various "take-off"
leather belt drives for wood working machinery, such as a lathe.
Anybody have a notion of the era in which that change began to take place?

If you were going to make a hanging timber store like that, what would be the best/strongest way to attach the lower horizontal to the vertical?
There could be a reasonable weight piled in there.
(a) dovetail (with the pins on the horizontal), or
(b) mortice and tenon (tenon on the horizontal) ?
... (b) could be drawbored, so I'm guessing that.
Maybe some metal straps on the corner?
Cheers,
Paul
