 | 17th century wood working tools |
|
| Does anyone know the name of the female blacksmith who attends the
re-enactors fair at Blackbird Leys? Could anyone suggest a few very basic tools needed to portray an early to
mid English 17th century woodworker.
He will be making very basic things eg. stools, rakes etc. We already have a
work horse and draw knife in mind. Authenticity is the key word.
