BTW, Michael, your profile doesn't say where you live - but if you're in North America, or possibly Australia/NZ, some of those medieval-type trades were practised by the pioneers as recently as a hundred years ago. I've seen blacksmithing demos at several outdoor museum sites, old Trading Forts etc. If you're in Europe, of course, there are museums all over the place that would have info on that, and I imagine the same would go for Asia. And not just blacksmithing- carpentry, stone masonry, spinning, weaving, cooking (over open fires), farming techniques, etc etc.
