So I recently did something I have never done before. I created a time-lapse video. You can see it on youtube. As you have likely seen it already and are visiting from there, I realize posting the link is redundant, yet, here it is: So, I hope you enjoyed the video. I made the shieldContinue reading “Shield”

Anvil
Those who have been following this website for awhile may remember the anvil stand. For about three years of my time here with Alexandrea I have worked on a 50# cast iron anvil. Yes, just the one you are thinking of. That old block has produced a lot of work. It also created a lotContinue reading “Anvil”
Morning
Good morning dear reader. We are taking a slightly different approach to today’s article. Usually these are instructive or attempt to show you how we make tools and finished goods. Today I am sitting down and writing with no project in mind, just to share some news. The goal is to write to you folksContinue reading “Morning”
Mead
A fun indoor pastime is brewing your own drinks. One of our favorite and most important is mead, or mjod. We brew this once a year, although we still have three gallons left from last year.

My father and mother raise them on a separate homestead. Now that we have sided in what originally was a cattle shed, we canContinue reading “Hay”
Bookshelves
This article is the first one I wrote for the website. I am re-releasing it as a post. In my ignorance of website design I created this as a page. If you were mislead by this, or have already read it, I am to blame. What follows below is a (mostly) unedited transcription of theContinue reading “Bookshelves”
Dagger
I am writing an article about this dagger shown on the homepage, partly to make it a little easier for our readers to look at. I have some other pictures also to share so it was a good time. For any who do not share my tastes in the middle ages, this is a weaponContinue reading “Dagger”
