I took the family to Plymouth, Mass. this weekend and it turned out that at the re-created Pilgrim colony they make their own furniture the way they used to make them in the 1620s.
It was very interesting, realy artists.
I found it amazing that with the exception of electric power the tools & techniques are relativly the same.

Check out the cool lathe.

Yes - the furniture are for sale.
No - I couldn't afford a drawer
