| Continental Dragoon and First Virginia private soldiers |
The Mount Vernon Colonial Faire was a great event again this year and much cooler.
 |
| One of the many potters |
The event hosted several potters, joiners, tin smiths, musicians, weavers, and tailors. I wish I had taken more photos and picked up business cards. Too busy with our camplife and tactical demonstrations.

| Portable Joiner's Bench: Need to make one of these... |
I did spend a lot of time talking to the joiners and woodworkers. It is amazing what can be accomplished with hand tools. I've tried my hand at this and little by little am forging my replicas. Hard to find 18th c hand tools at the antique shops.

| Shaving Horse: Need one of these too... |
