Hay

Winter is an important time for us. Grass becomes scarce and we lay in a supply of hay. Our family maintains livestock, just a few goats and a pair of heifers. 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”

Fire

The heart of the smithy is the hearth, the forge, the source of heat that makes metal malleable. Without this, very little can be achieved in metal work. This article will discuss fire in detail. Beginning with how to start a fire in a cold hearth, I will later discuss its use and maintenance forContinue reading “Fire”

Belt buckle

My wife bought herself some new pants. She intimated to me that she did not possess a suitable belt. So saying I would obtain one, I thought about how I would go about it. I have an adequate supply of leather suitable for making a strap, I lacked only a buckle. While I did happenContinue reading “Belt buckle”

Anvil Stand

Anvils have been made of several materials in history, starting with stone. Through the ages they have been made of bronze and iron, culminating in the height of the craft, an anvil fashioned from fine tool steel. Today we are building a stand for one. My anvil is made of junk, quite literally I amContinue reading “Anvil Stand”

Spoons

I find that my wife is often pleased with new things. Some of you out there may have noticed yours are also. So as it is a rainy day, I would like to share something fairly easy, and fun to do. Make her some spoons. Wooden spoons can be made in minutes, frankly. That includesContinue reading “Spoons”

Spearhead

A spear is the most vital weapon to have for many activities, such as going to war, hunting, but most importantly, getting that last ripe fruit from the top of the tree. You can make one just like this with a railroad spike. The picture above shows a railroad spike. Just to be clear however,Continue reading “Spearhead”
