Here is an interesting series from the BBC about a huge archeological experiment. Over 25 years, they are rebuilding a castle using techniques that would have been used in the Middle Age.

They show how they split the stones, how a carpenter would have built a cabinet without nails or glue (or a saw), how they made pulleys, rope, and mortar.

We have had a few threads discussing this already I think.

Secrets of the Castle 1
Pottery discussion, triggered by Secrets of the Castle

It is a lovely series, really inspiring.

ah! I had missed those threads. Thanks.
 
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. But if you read my tiny ad, I might change my mind.
