An old picture ... I had to search a little to understand the significance.
Cue wikipedia ... Greenbelt, Maryland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Old Greenbelt was settled in 1937 as a public cooperative community in the New Deal Era. The concept was at the same time both eminently practical and idealistically utopian: the federal government would foster an "ideal" self-sufficient cooperative community that would also ease the pressing housing shortage near the nation's capital. Construction of the new town would also create jobs and thus help stimulate the national economic recovery following the Great Depression."
Nails ... for the development project ...

I posted these videos before when the software was changing ... you can see the video links are a bit cuckoo. The swedish woodworking was referenced in the comments to CS's latest blog post on roman-style workbenches.
So ... looking at it again I was very taken with the chair-making.
Thought I would put the videos up properly.
(And then I was flabberghasted again at the stockpile of nails)

Chairmaking starts at 8.30
