Mäster Lundqvist Machin Snickeri

About the museum

Mäster Lundqvist Machin Snickeri is a furniture joinery and a working life museum in Ageröd in central Skåne. The activity began on 29 August 2015, when the joiner David Lundqvist bought a table saw. The idea of a workshop with old belt-driven machines grew from there, and the museum part was developed later.

The workshop acquires machines through contacts and tips, and often upgrades when an older machine in usable or restorable condition turns up. Visitors can see belt-driven machines from the 1860s onwards in operation. The museum tells the story of the first mechanisation of furniture joinery, when Jonsereds gjuteri (Jonsered foundry) began producing woodworking machines on an industrial scale in the 1840s and 1850s, and when the mechanisation of Swedish joinery took off in the 1860s and 1870s.

The collection includes, among other things, a copying lathe, a wheel lathe and a moulding and planing machine from 1874. During visits the master joiner David Lundqvist guides, and the workshop also holds courses in traditional joinery.
