As advertised on the Egypt at the Manchester Museum blog today we had a chance to see Dr Geoffrey Killen demonstrate how ancient Egyptians would have made their wooden items.
Dr Geoffrey Killen began by explaining a little bit about the tools used by the ancient Egyptians. For example: their saws were both similar and very different to our modern day ones.
Great blog by Nicky on our woodworking session with Geoff Killen on Saturday
Thank you! Even though I think calling it great is too much praise. I think I’ve forgotten half of what he told us.
