Stelmakerij Wever made agricultural tools such as flails and farm carts. After mechanisation increased following the Second World War, brothers Wubbe and Jan Wever made, among other things, made-to-measure spades and children’s play equipment.

The workshop also took commissions from museums. Its displays include old machines, floors and drive systems; a largely reconstructed tree saw was demonstrated for the first time on Saturday 23 May.
