There was some discussion in the Woodworking thread recently about this guy's videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAL3JXZSzSm8AlZyD3nQdBA (Turn on captions and he does a little explaining) This guy's channel is more colonial/early america but also really great: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxr2d4As312LulcajAkKJYw I thought it was interesting discussion and something I am interested in so chat about it here I guess. I can't be bothered to write a mega-OP about something I don't know much about so, I guess the rule is no electricity and no internal combustion engines? (Steam engines are rad and always allowed). Survivalism/homesteading/living off-grid, all that stuff is welcome here. I do some hand tool woodworking and have always been very interested in early industrial/pre-industrial crafts and would love to learn more about that stuff. I could spend weeks at colonial williamsburg kind of places. Anyway, I really want to go dig a hole in the ground and dig some clay and make some little pots and build a kiln and stuff. Some of my favorite woodworking times have been out in the woods with a sharp axe or hatchet making walking sticks and mauls and dumb little lean-to's and now I think I'm gonna add 'mud' to my list of materials.

CommonShore posted:I think I'm going to actually order a froe from this company I have a Lee Valley froe and I don't really like it. Made in China and it has a sort of rounded taper to it like an axe or kitchen knife, and I think it supposed to be a straight taper like a wedge.

Mederlock posted:Is this our catchall thread for rustic/antique hand tool woodwork too? If yes, what is everyone's thoughts on building a workbench? I'm pretty attracted to the English Joiners style bench but I'm open to other suggestions. I'll post some pics of my axe/axe heads and some of my other tools later too. Can't wait to restore them all I didn’t really have a goal for this thread but if there’s a rule (there isn’t) it’s ‘no electricity that comes from power lines’ or something. If you want to talk about your homemade steam engine dynamo or solar powered well or whatever that’s cool and awesome.

got a phantom bevelled 3.5lbs Jersey head I'm really looking forward to hanging.

I've been watching 'Victorian Farm' on prime and the narration is a little overdramatic but there are some really cool old farm machines and watching a babby sheep get born was neat
