Hi everyone tonight:
Well it has been a while since I have jumped into a good conversation but this sure sounds like fun
HMM--tools needed for your renactment
sounds like the list is coming together nicely
I would add an early type claw hammer--not a fancy head--
--probably 2 sizes of corner chisels one for smaller mortise work
--probably 2 sizes of mortising chisels (similar reason)
--a cant hook and a straight 4 foot pointed bar,
--a commander of some sort--nothing fancy
--a piece of hard blue chalk
--a wooden level of the right period
--the steel square should have only minimal markings
--some square cut nails of varying sizes
--atleast one pair of crude saw horses that will fit in with your reenactment period,
--you should really have at least 3 lengths of measuring poles probably a 6' an 8'and a 10'--used in combinations end to end you can cover the basic measurements of a simple 3 bay structure of the period and to check for square measurements
The Northern Hewer--have fun--wish I was there--
