About Me

My photo
Frontier Carpenter
My blog is dedicating to crafts and survival skills of the American Frontier. I have a strong interest in how history, geography, and the availability of natural resources formed early America. At first my interests were limited to early woodworking and building construction. It didn't take long before that interest morphed into blacksmithing and early survival skills on the frontier. I don’t claim to be an expert in anything I just like doing. Sometimes I get it right and sometimes I end up with junk. Either way I have fun! I hope you enjoy my blog.
