| Thank you to everyone who came to see me at the Preservation Trades Network workshop in New Castle. I especially want to thank YOU for taking a card and actually checking out the website. Obviously it still needs a lot of work...and I now understand why real businesses actually pay someone else to run their websites! I know I am late with the promised book list...but here is a start. I will add more commentary as time permits...and hopefully the list itself will grow. |

| Here is a simple strap hinge, which was surprisingly popular at the workshop. I made this as one of my class projects. They can be bigger or smaller and a little more "refined." The pintle pictured is meant to be driven into a heavy beam. More modern applications could use a plate with screw holes. |

| Here is the "leafy-rebar-thing" you may have seen me working on. I'm not sure exactly what it's supposed to do...but I think it's doing a fine job of it. |

| My first attempt at a drawknife. I kind of gave up on it when I discovered through grinding that the stock I was using that I thought was carbon steel turned out to be mild steel. Well, it was good practice anyway. |
