    Default Video of Manufacture France 1887

    Not sure what the video is about exactly but as it is a french silent movie, may be a general movie about manufacture capabilities of the country or a promotion for a factory.

    Part belt driven machines, part hand tools. Covers blacksmithing, foundry work, pattern making and fine cabinetry.

    Love to have some one do a English voice over.

    The title of the video is "Les écoles nationales professionnelles"
    which translates about like: "the national trade schools"

    Looks like I need to install flash player to watch it...

    Very interesting. Got to love the berets!
    I wonder how many of these skills are still taught?

    Sort of related: on ABC iView, there's an episode of Mastercrafts all about blacksmithing. Worth a look
