Welome to the ChowLine Reproductions blog, where the workshop is my kitchen, and the archives is my cookbook. Join me as I comb through records, photographs, and memoirs looking for inspiration for my next project. Come along as I scour antique shops, garage sales, and ebay listings for original rations to study and copy. Sit beside me at my workshop bench as I design and develop ration components from WWII key opening cans, to freeze dried LRRP rations from Vietnam, and explore different materials methods to bring them to life. The process of discovery and creation is an exciting one filled with success and failure.
