Historical Artifacts

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world
Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Good news! Making one of these is almost a rite of passage in the recreation world, so there are tons of analysis, examples and plans for making your own.
Here’s a few: http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/wood.shtml https://redoakleaf.net/2018/10/29/three-scandinavian-chests-construction-details-of-oseberg-178/ https://wanderingbear.blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/viking-chest-downloadable.pdf
Damn, woodworkers really go all out
From 1984, so far the earliest episode I can find at the moment..

Have you ever watched Roy Underhill - The Woodwright's Shop?
I grew up watching him, and he's still today considered like the modern day master of woodworking, without power tools. His PBS series went on for over 20 years, and he's still doing his thing.
I wanted to find his very first episode, but can't seem to find it today. He announced his intent from day one, to educate people on classical woodworking, and he never failed to disappoint.
Check his toolbox on the intro, and just spend a little time watching a few episodes at least..
