I ran across these on Gary Roberts' Toolemera site, which linked to a dulcimer maker named Doug Berch, which linked to Kari Hultman's "Village Carpenter" site. The first is from the 30's, and the second is from 1912. They're silent films, and clock in at around 16-18 minutes apiece. I found them fascinating. The first seems to be mostly about cabinetmaking. If you don't know what a dovetail joint is, the interspersed shots of birds on telephone wires and cabinet drawers will help you out . The second deals with chair making. Some dudes with serious skills in both machine and hand tools, including carving tools, here. The guy on the bandsaw is just ridiculous. I was amazed that they were cutting mortises & tenons in *rough stock*! Check it out, it's really cool
