I haven't been to Colonial Williamsburg since colonial times! I'll catch the video later.

There is some real neat stuff in there. They even forge a barrel out of a flat, around a manderal.

that was an interesting video. There was a sidebar link when I watched it pointing to a Townsend's video. More question & answer than a hands-on view of the process, but also worth watching.

We'd of been promoted to Continental Army GENERAL, showing up in battle-rattle with a Bren 805!   ;D

Another element to appreciate, about our colonial forefathers.
