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.

Ah yes, John Plant. Bless him.

Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines, but wasn't sure. Thanks for explaining. I could definitely see a hand drill sometimes being handier than a bow drill and vice-versa, all down to the case usage.
