Built in 1987 by Frank Bryant and David Spencer of "Old Kentucky Homes" to serve as the village wood shop, this cabin was cut, hewed, notched, and assembled off site, coded for reassembly, then dismantled, moved to Robbins Crossing, and reassembled and finished. Originally called the Cooper's Shed for many years, it reflected the importance of coopering in the 1800s, when barrels were essential for storing and shipping many kinds of goods. The building's name was later changed to reflect its wider use for historic woodworking tasks. In the 1800s, woodworkers were often divided by specialty: carpenters did heavier work such as hewing logs and framing buildings, joiners made joined and often more ornate woodwork including furniture, and coopers made barrels, casks, buckets, tubs, and troughs, with a skilled cooper able to make two barrels a day. Woodworkers used hand saws, hand drills, mallets, and other hand tools, while carpenters often used larger tools such as an adze to hew logs and coopers and other fine woodworkers used shave horses, draw knives, and chisels. Unlike modern tools, tools in the 1800s were powered by human labor rather than electricity, though some sawmills ran on steam and water power was also commonly used.
