Su...Mitchell, that is correct. I'm a Marine. :D<br />Sutlers is the term used for the people who sell their wares at the market fairs, but the definition you found is more accurate. Charles had a cool outfit, as did so many other people. The costumes were as impressive as the products.<br /><br />Rob, I'm already looking forward to next year!Kari Hultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224053263659415329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-67113682685686376622010-06-27T10:19:41.160-04:002010-06-27T10:19:41.160-04:00Looks like another good event in your neck o't...Looks like another good event in your neck o'the woods Kari - RobWoodblokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573880625129679293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-21235852460785256862010-06-26T17:16:56.417-04:002010-06-26T17:16:56.417-04:00First, what is a "sutler"?

I wish there was more of a wodworking history in my area, events of this nature are focused on agriculture here.<br /><br />The saw in the top middle photograph, first collection, what is it? Armorers saw? Bone saw? Early hacksaw?

The lines to tour the mansion can get a little long that weekend though. The only issue we ever have is that parking can be a little tough to find. All and all it's a pretty good fair.

Vernon this year. Is it insanely crowded? <br /><br />Badger, I knew woodworkers would dig the benches! They both had a long face vise, which looked handy. I'm with you and haven't decided on a final design yet, but I'm leaning toward the little roubo in the new PopWood issue, but with a wagon vise.<br /><br />Shannon, next year I Kari Hultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224053263659415329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-5350645910015453462010-06-25T21:01:50.943-04:002010-06-25T21:01:50.943-04:00Ooh I love that Tavern table.

Windsor Chairs are definitely on my short list of things to build, and probably worth taking a class to learn. Thanks for letting me "go to the Fair" through your pictures Kari. :)<br /><br />Jamie BaconJamie Baconhttp://www.planeshavings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
