Finished Medieval Shops!!!!

Here are pictures of my finally finished Medieval Shops!

This is a big picture of the outside of the house.



This is the outside of the fish monger. Hanging on the far left are some stringed rainbow fish. On the counter are some large river fish, crawdads, more piled rainbow fish, a basket of trout, a barrel of mackerels, and a barrel of eels.



This is the outside of my butcher. Hanging up from left to right is a goose, sausages, a rabbit, a pig, a pheasant, more sausages, and a ham. On the counter from left to right is a leg of lamb, some roast pigeons, and a pig head.



Here is a picture of my vegetable cart. Inside it, there are numerous different types of vegetables. Every thing, including the cart, was handmade by myself. Unbelievably, this small cart alone took me at least 10 hours of labor.



These are my medieval stocks. They were used in medieval times for a punishment.

This is the front window of my bakery. From left to right are some light braided rolls, some medium trenchers, a mixture of light and dark loafs, and some large round light loafs.

This is the outside of my bakery again. In the bottom left corner, there is an ale barrel.



This is a picture of the entire inside of the building.





This is the inside of the fish monger. On the table there is an ale jug and a fish having it's head chopped off.

Here is a good shot of the fishing spears and nets.

This is the loft of the fish monger.

This is the inside of the butcher.

This is the bottom floor of the butcher. On the left side, there is a giant oven with a pig roasting on a spit, some roasting sausages, a pork roast in the oven, and another roasting pheasant. On the ground is a chicken which will soon be brought upstairs for slaughter.

This is the upper floor of the butcher. On the table, there is a goose having its head chopped off, and a candle. On the bench there is a sack of freshly killed game, and a jar. On the stool, there is a medieval brazier (bra-zee-ay), which was a tiny fire place upstairs. On the hook against the right wall, from left to right, there is a ham, sausages, a pheasant, a rabbit, and more sausages.

On the left wall, there is a bread oven made by my mother. On the right, there is a small table where the baker makes bread. In the bottom right corner, a small bread paddle, used for removing the baked loaves and hand made by me, can be seen.

This is the upstairs of my bakery. On the table in the corner, there is a book and a candle. In the middle, there is a small mattress stuffed with hay. Next to the mattress is a small pot for boiling water. Next to that is a small wooden stool.

So, as you can see, a lot of work went into this house. With this medieval row of shops, I have the possibility of winning $500. Unfortunately, I won't know if I've won until August. Please cross your fingers for me! Bye!

Stocks

Hi! So, I just made some Medieval Stocks. Here's a picture:

These stocks are made out of bass wood. To make them, i cut three strips of wood, two poles, and a rectangle base. In two of my strips, I cut a head and two arm holes. I then used sand paper and a craft knife to shape the tops of my side poles into points. I glued my solid strip and one of my holey strips about half way up my two side poles. Lastly, I took two tiny slivers of wood, just large enough to hold my top strip of wood, and glued them onto the stocks. The reason I did this step was because now I can slip the top piece of the stocks on and off, therefore allowing me to trap an unfortunate person in the stocks. I glued my two poles down to my base and stained the whole thing. For the finishing touch, which is optional, but looks really cool, I painted a bucket, filled it with scenic water, and glued a tiny ladle onto it. I glued my finished bucket next to my stocks, and tah dah! I had a finished torture device!

Bye!
