Wow, I like the look of the bar area, all closed in like they were to keep anyone from pilfering, but the photos were a bit disturbing from what I usually think of CW. What the heck were all those Power Tools doing there?!!! Heck, they make their own bricks, they hew timbers with adz and whip saw, the blacksmiths make the hardware, or at least that is what I was always led to believe, and now I see Power tools of all things, plus the window hardware sort of looked, gasp! galvanized?
