No More Falling out of the Sleeping Loft - Pioneer Life Circa 1750|Wooden Ladder|Open Hearth Cooking

Getting up in the night to put wood on the fire, Peter falls from the sleeping loft in his log cabin. He decides to build a proper ladder using a bow saw, wood chisel and hand forged rose bud square nails.

He discusses the function and design of his shaving horse, a tool that was used on the frontier by the pioneers. He also gives reference to his source for plans for building reproductions of furniture from the 1700's and 1800's. He used those plans to make the salt box, silverware tray, wooden hinged cabinet and candle box for the cabin.
