Getting Lost at Colonial Williamsburg
One of our editors, Phil Huber, sent me a link this morning to this article about a modern shop behind the scenes at Colonial Williamsburg. It’s a modern shop, but they produce historically accurate reproductions of tools, surgical instruments, and a host of other items needed by the Historic Trades at Colonial Williamsburg. I found it a fascinating read. Be sure to check out the “Slide Show” at the bottom of the article’s page.
Once I was on the Colonial Williamsburg web site, I got lost. There are all sorts of links to information about the tools and trades. I intend to read them all but, of course, I was most interested in the cabinetmaking trade.
I hope you get as much enjoyment reading these articles as I do.
