    Ahhhhhhh, so the lovely 'Woodland Escape' a.k.a. Kelly's FORTified Compound, is now bedecked in her 'white finery' = The stuff of Picture Postcards! Beautifully captured by the resident Empress Catherine...thank-you my dear ones for the vid and soOOOoo very interesting 'yarns' about; Who 'sprang' up what, where and how! I simply luv the fact that these 'arts and artisans' have the desire to preserve, continue and teach a true historic craft. The TIME it takes to create these pieces is near to disbelief!. We waste soOOoo much of our precious 'time', There is a definite re-awakening happening...and methinks it 'looms' on the horizon! I can envisage classes of young women and men taking such classes. "Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?." (Benjamin Franklin). Health an' blessings dear ones! How kind to keep Barbara the night! :)

    i have a 24" table loom that i am still figuring out things with, i would love a floor loom, at the moment i have a double weave on it. i also have weaving cards and an inkle loom, these are both band weavers the cards are an ancient way of making bands that you can create intricate patterns. weaving is both basic and complicated, it also gives you a understanding of how much work goes into clothing

    Swear to god, I was just wondering about this topic last week.
    Thank you so much for having that wonderful woman on, and I hope to see a little more of her.
    Nice to see she corrected you, and us, a little about men’s and women's role in it, but men had one role and women another and neither could have survived without the other. These modern feminists just don’t get it. Men had their roles, women theirs, and they complemented each other. It’s a symbiotic, essential relationship. It’s a beautiful combination of two essential parts. At least when it comes to the basics.
    Anyway, I digress, as always, fascinating video, and the fort looks awesome in winter, though maybe not strong enough to hold back Trudeau from taking your military style flintlocks.
    Thank you so much for the video.

      It has a cast iron fire back that helps somewhat. The trick is to displace all the coldness in the logs and mortar. This usually happens with a fire going for at least 24 hours. Once warm a smaller fire will keep it warm.
