Artisans recreate a Viking shield, hand craft an illuminated manuscript and make traditional delicious cheese.

Expert crafts people make the katana, the samurai's weapon of choice, take the delicate daguerreotype photograph, and handmade electric guitars using wood from demolished but historic New York City buildings.

Using traditional methods historic icons, the huge Bowie Knife, the classic Windsor Chair, and early industrial style small batch chocolate are created.

Artisans create an intimidating Viking spear, a gorgeous blown glass dragon goblet and small batch Indian Pale Ale, all using traditional methods.
