Hello! Again I've built some small things to bring life into the medieval town.

(...) I am very suprised at how small these buildings turned out. They seem plenty big next to the minifigs, but I compare them to my town creations and they seem puny. Still I will probably continue in the same scale... it makes my bricks go (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.us.michlug, lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Broom maker is the right name so far as I know - it's the other two I'd question. Weaver, or perhaps just basket merchant if he didn't make them himself. Door to door knife sharpening survived to at least when I was a kid (do they still do (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Yes, they do still do door-to-door knife sharpening (well, it's not strictly door-to-door, it's more housecall). I saw it on an episode of Good Eats a while ago. This guy pulls up to your house with a van full of sharpening gear and goes (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
