Preindustrial Craftsmanship 
Thank you so much for sharing. This is really inspiring. What a gorgeous collection. Well done, sir.
Thanks. Making things is what I love.
Only thing missing is the rifle or gun. Don’t tease!
I sold the rifle several years ago when I went more modern. I do really want something cool again! I need to research this deeply (and not let the good lady know too soon).
Yes what she doesn’t know cant hurt her! lol I’m really trying to convince myself that I need a custom built smoothbore trade gun.
I have my eye on a couple designs. We’re preparing to move so austerity keeps me on the god side for now.
Wonderful collection!!! Compliments! Are you also a reenactor?
I used to be but now just on occasion for special events. My daughter is working as an interpretive ranger at a historic park and it has sparked my interest again. I do use a lot of this stuff in regular life.
That’s really great! What’s park? Could I find on the web? I love living history! Ancient, Medieval, American Colonial Era, Napoleonic War, Second World War! Few years ago I reconstruct a ‘700 trapper for an historic festival! Usually in these festival I’m a soldier of communal medieval militia 😀 ! Again, Compliments for your stuff! Ciao!
Thanks! I love the living history too. I find that the gear provides a lot of insight into a time when we had to make due for ourselves. I’m not with a park, just a loose knit bunch of people who like the same stuff. My daughter volunteers at Champoeg Park in Oregon and is really interested in the colonial western period right now.
