A great series, compliment!
Old workshops are magic places for me. I remember a catalogue from Nikon (D300?) in which a bandonion workshop was photographed. The master was sitting at the bench, the light was terrible good.
The real secret I think is the light and/or the direction of it. A flat source might allowe you to shoot with everything nearly well illuminated, but as with music and silence, the dark areas add some mystery which should be there in such kind of places with hard work, skill and craftmanship. Less light and some pronounced and prominent tools or faces might add this mystery.
Here a shoot in dim light, no chance to control the illumination (as usual) and lucky with a steady hand......

Thanks for your kind comments, always appreciated 
I think old workshops were just made for B&W photography, especially if you can include the craftsmen working in the workshop.
The blacksmith works from time to time in the forge, so with a bit of luck I might just catch him in :lol:
