Camp Bed

Here's a camp bed that I think will be reasonable for SCA usage (since that was his point in designing it). Looks to be fairly easy to do, so I'll let my husband work on that one. :D

Trestle Table Addendum

The table I was viewing was erroneously referred to as a trestle table by me. Apparently the pseudonym 'trestle' was not adopted for that type of table until 1910. So I'll have to find another name for that type of breakdown table. Perhaps it doesn't have a specific name, but it appears to have been used for armoring tables, as well as at tents and campsites. (thus far anyway) For now, I've changed it in my projects list to a 'table' until I can find something more specific.

Trestle Table

I have found these trestle tables in more than one drawing, but I'm afraid I'm unable to find them at present time. I'll do more research and find period art containing these tables. At any rate, this will make for a good period table.

[Picture added later, but I don't know if this could be utilized for German or not, but it's from a 15th century manuscripted entitled How a Man Schall be Armyd at his ese when he schal fighte on foote. The title alone leads me to believe it's not German, but I did find a German piece that is unfortunately in a PDF file that I need to find elsewhere. It's entitled Three Apes Building a Trestle Table, 1480-1500 German, stained glass from The Cloisters Collection]

Camp Stools

Foraging can be a lot of fun sometimes. You never know what you might find. At any rate, here's a site with 2 types of camp stools that can be made, which I don't think would be inappropriate for most camp sites. They are very basic and simple.

Bench-Chest Combination

Found another piece of furniture that I had found at one time that eventually my husband will make for me *hint hint* :D and it appears to be of fairly easy construction, so I'm going to include it here so I don't lose it as well. A Simple Bench/Check Combination

Folding Chair

I found this 16th century German folding chair a while back and had completely forgotten about it. Now that I've found it again, I'm posting it so I don't forget about it this time! A 16th Century German Folding Chair It's a neat design and I hope one of these days to replicate it, but for now, as always, let's get the information found.
