			It seems to me the question of if we can have "How To's" is just about formatting. We can include articles on things like "The Norigian Pioneer method of drying fish" (note; not a real thing, just a fictional example), which would include the practical skills and steps of 'Norwegian fish drying', but framed as an encyclopedia article instead of being formatted as a How-To. This also means we can include historical information as well, which is interesting and potentially useful. If I was trying to rebuild civilization in the NorthEastern USA, being able to search for articles that contain methods used by Seneca Native Americans, or early european colonists would be useful.

			I agree that "how-to" information is critical, and I think we can include it even if we want to maintain an encyclopedia formatting.

	The way other wikis have done this is by making English the main wiki, then having automatic translations into other versions. Machine translation has gotten pretty good so this is a good option I think.

	I also grew up in a family of potters, and my own work used the sgraffito carving technique, although my mother painted. Since sgraffito is so time-consuming, I typically bothered to dig my own clay, and sometimes pit-fire them. There is a large group of potters in Mata Ortiz, Mexico, who have allowed their techniques to be videotaped. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtFTd8UIaDw for example. Depending on how much information you would like fleshed out, I could also add or comment on these techniques.

			Please add whatever you can. Create a page titled common tools or something. Make that the main page where you talk about what the main ideas are along with adding terms like bow-drill and stuff. You can then make those words be links to other pages that you can create.

			For fun, you might want to take a look at Clickspring's YouTube channel on the Antikythera Fragments <https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZioPDnFPNsGnUXuZScwn6Ackf6LGILCa> -- where he not only builds a replica of the Antikythera Mechanism <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRXI9KLImC4&list=PLZioPDnFPNsHnyxfygxA0to4RXv4_jDU2>, but also the tools which could have been used to build it. This includes case-hardening mild steel, hand-cutting your own files, making spade drill bits, making a bow-drill, making and using a simple precision lathe, and soft soldering techniques. These are a great source of information. I can also add some info on building different types of forges, but my preferred type is charcoal with a hand-crank blower.
