 Yes. I would enjoy spending a day in the museum. Thinking it is
in North Carolina or Virginia ? Someone had restored a 
old cabinet shop that was water driven from the stream with a 
line shaft thur the building powering the equipment. All was 
belt driven. Not restored as museum but a working shop.
Rumor or fact I do not know.

 An Eqyptian lathe based upon a stone carving. A two man lathe
which would seem very awkward to use in the upright position
as shown.Tried to show the pull ropes an cutting tool
