Making and using interesting items from the past

I love to make things and then share what I have learned with others. The topics that interest me most include the following:

  • Friction fire-starting and other bushcraft skills

  • Using hand tools, especially vintage and antique tools

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

  • Metalworking, 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.
