Behind an ice and coffee restaurant in the centre of Rosenheim hides the Holztechnisches Museum Rosenheim. Christopher Schwarz from Lost Art Press brought it to my attention and as I passed Rosenheim on my way from Slovenia last weekend I visited it with my long-suffering and not so much complaining wife. (Had to invite her to a Wurstsalat afterwards.)
It is a kind of old fashioned Museum, with a lot of Show cases, some very detailed miniatures of saw mills and some screen with videos. There are very few interactiv place, but you can try a plane and pull a log by hand.
I concentrate on the displayed saws.
The teeth of a two man crosscut saw. You can see the trces of the flat or fether file used to sharpen each surface of the tooth seperatly.
Simple tow man pit saw. (To saw boards from logs.)
Drawing and picture of a sawing pit. Shown used with a 3 man frame saw.
Next object is this giant fram saw. I can not imagine that it was designet to be use by hands. I think it was oart of a water or animal driven saw mill.
The direction of the teeth changes in the middle. Lot of space between the teeth to clloect big amounts of shavings.
There is a lot more in this museum, but I think I will not show all the pictures I made. You will have to go on your own.
But this one I cannot keep to myself: Never saw a holdfast in Germany before:
