Making, using, and appreciateing interesting items from the past

I love to make things and share what I have learned with others. Because my interest in history and prehistory, the topics that interest me most include the following:

  • Friction fire-starting and other wilderness skills

  • Making and using hand tools, especially vintage and antique tools

  • Projectile throwers as small as slingshots and as large as trebuchets

  • Metal, woodworking, and other old-school fabrication methods

  • Ancestral skills such as making stone tools by flintknapping

Check out some of the things I’ve made and some of the resources I offer to help you on your journey of making.
