I remember living in Florida. there is a large Menonite population in central Fl where I lived. I see horse n carrige signs all over the place here already. Amish country, LOL! trippy. soo used to them now its wierd without them LOL

lived around both for years.


I live about 30-ish miles outside of Boston, and in the area, there are a handful of Mennonite families and they all have farm stands and stores selling stuff, but they don't have the carriages but do till their fields with oxen.. My brother-in-law did some new construction for one of their stores (local safety regulations and such), and he said while his guys were using their cordless drills and power tools, the Mennonites were using old-school hand tools, which made the job take fooooooreeeeeeeveeeeeeeeer... Kinda wish I was there to see it!! lol
 
yeah they all do that, try watchin a house rasing in an Amish field from the ground up. it happens fast once all the holes and dowls n nails are essebled but maaan, takes forever like you said. crazy but the quality you cant beat. its kinda'ish like the dove tail in woodworking but handmade and the japan wood works way too. precision ,proper fit and snug and room to expand and contract. gotta love it LOL! but does take frigin a lifetime it seems LOL

Best solid wood furniture makers in the world . Old school for sure .
 
the only thing my mini so called goverment has implemented over the last few years is to pass law that shops must charge 5p for a shopping bag.
everything else they are still fighting over.
:pighug:
In Mauritania plastic shopping bags are banned. The use of plastic bags are punished with 1 yr prison.
