Many here in the Neanderthal Haven know that George Wilson has a rich history of interesting work/problem solving as a toolmaker for the historic trades at Colonial Williamsburg. I had the good fortune of getting to visit the shop that George Wilson and John Laubach worked in to keep the historic trades people working with authentic tools. Wow. I could have stayed there for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time.

Here's a nice summary of their work. Its not the only one I've seen but hey.. you might enjoy a look.

Very interesting. And also nice to see the picture of George - to put a face to his postings. (do the slide show at the bottom of the page)
