Environmental groups are fighting to keep the road out of the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge.

Workers Build French Castle With 13th-Century Tools

Can you imagine trying to build a castle without modern century construction equipment? It sounds quite impossible, but a group of castle enthusiasts is attempting to do it in Burgundy, France. Michael Guyot and Maryline Martin started building Guedelon Castle in 1997 using exclusively 13th-century construction techniques and materials. The workers involved in the project are using hand-made tools, horse-drawn carriages, a winch drum, a blacksmith's workshop, and more to build the castle as authentically as possible.

Those are just a few things we've been talking about over the past week. For more news and updates, check out Construction Equipment Guide's Industry News Page and our Industry Blog Page.
