    My three quarter scale Revolutionary War carriage.

    Sometimes it is very hard to put a price on your craftsmanship. In trying to make some items myself I understand the blood and sweat that goes into a project, especially the first set of spoke wagon wheels.

    1860 arbor removed

    New to me also, need picture of frame. Present arbor could be used as template for making new one, or the trash can.

    Rampart carriage built I guess

    Well this is a good size cannon. You are going to get a big bang with this cannon. I like the use of square nuts, looks nice.
