Building a Saxon House with Hand Tools: Rafters and Roof Frame | Bushcraft Project (PART 4)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- We continue building a bushcraft saxon house in the forest using hand tools only. In part 4 we finish building the timber frame roof and build some rafters. We use log cabin notches to help secure the rafters in place. For each rafter, we de-barked the log with a drawknife to prevent bugs from breaking it down over time. This will help our roof to last longer. The bark peeling jig we made in part 1 of the saxon house build is really coming in useful now. I also made primitive pine pitch glue from the resin that was leaking from pine trees in the area. I melted the pitch down in a tin can over the fire, and then used the molten pine pitch or tar to pour over our exposed mortise and tenon joints. This will help to weather-seal the joints and prevent water and moisture from rotting them away. We also secured the mortise and tenon joints by drilling holes with a bit and brace and an auger, and hammering in wooded pegs. In Part 5, we will be building battening on the roof ready for the final roof material. We will also make a start on the walls. Thanks for watching.

Went camping with my daughter inspired by yourself Mike.Expect a letter in the post! Keep the brill videos coming.Been watching your videos for a long time now.I hear your at the river Ythan.,you are more than welcome up here in Aberdeen to drop by.Send regards to your Dad.A top Man.Peace and love from Scotland.
You should make a primitive forge and make your own nails
TA Outdoors where abouts in the uk are you from?
I like how you use primitive glue to protect the wood, I would like to see you making a furnace where you could make clay bricks, pots or even cook on it, I really enjoy all your videos I use to practice my bushcraft skills years ago so I appreciate all ur videos
The pine tar is a good idea. It's released by the tree to protect itself from damage and rot. You're basically using it for it's intended function.
At the risk of being too sentimental, your greatest creation you have made are the memories with your dad. You will cherish those memories long after these buildings have rotted away. What a great team the two of you make.
Dude your dad is a beast , when it comes to working..... I honestly don’t know anyone around his age that works that hard 👍👍
It's wonderful that you & your father share a love of the outdoors, building & bushcraft. Cherish every moment.
And fishing. :)
@@southernwanderer7912 True! My mother was my best friend. She just passed on 3/30. There was nothing left unsaid between us; I have no regrets. But, damn, I sure do miss her! Have a great day! Cheers! 👍😎
@@KatherineUribe-1 Sorry to hear of your loss but it sounds like you and your mother had a wonderful relationship. My mother is currently 86 and I cherish every moment. But when you have to work, it leaves little time and that's the problem.
People really underestimate the amount of work that goes into a build like this, working with strictly hand tools and wooden joints only is tough going so I don't blame you for fast-tracking aspects of this build. Amazing work so far guys ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors cheers Zed. You are right. Working with hand tools takes so much time, as does de-barking logs and using augers etc. It’s highly rewarding when you see the structure coming together though
We have some of the world's most ridiculous laws here it I would have built something like this a long time ago.
Who needs a gym when you have bushcrafting!! 😊
The 2 person partnership of building or 2-3 day getaway is very educational, more dynamic and more interesting than solo outings. Especially when Dustin gets cooking. A few plugs/disclosures for the bevvies are fine too. Cheers, lads.
You have to let the fact of the first few minutes of your videos of just working without talking be your signature! It's one of the things I think people love about the videos .I'm love the series so far , thanks for all your hard work!!
it's not really a signature when so many channels already do it, it is nice though.
There's something almost satisfying watching the curls come off when you're debarking the logs... I imagine the sense of pride you must feel when you see a build coming together. From episode one too the current date, the house is taking shape! Incredible series and thank you for sharing it with us!
I really enjoy watching you and your dad work together on these projects. The variety of projects is impressive and your conversations and "theory time" are hilarious. Dustin is also a master of meals in the woods! Very enjoyable channel!
The relationship you have with your father is something I could only dream about having with mine.
Another great episode :)
@Finlay A Reading isn't your strong suit is it?
Me to Josh, your not alone on that one mate, God bless my friend.
JoshHayes You can have that type of relationship with your son.
@@darinmalone hopefully someday.
@@rhomanmason8131 can only learn from it and be a better father in the future.
Hangin' out in the woods, buildin' cool stuff and droppin' KNOWLEDGE BOMBS on the masses! ANOTHER great video in a series of GREAT VIDEOS!
I like how you're showing the technical side of what you're doing. Sometimes it looks easier on tv/video. But it definitely is a lot of hard work. Enjoying the series Mike. 👍👍 Headed to 1 million!!
Love thoses old hand piece tools...just watching them being used again by you and your dad.
Such calmness from the madness of this world.
Out in the woods ,just building another wood house.
Chill out time at TA..thanks guys.
I’d like to see you guys cook some fish, and have a little chat about what’s important to each of you about what you’re doing with these kinds of projects.
Its really good that you have your dad working with you on this project! My dad never gets off the couch! I couldn't pay my dad a million dollars to do what your dad is doing! Well done to your dad!!
This video could totally be tagged as ASMR... anyone else find the bark peeling sounds highly satisfying? 😂 keep up the good work! Hope to see you at the Bushcraft show next month!
Abbie Merlehan see you there!
From the spain nice , nice job my goods friens
Omg my son and I say this every time!!! So satisfying to watch the logs peel! Like a carrot!
These videos make me so calm!
What is AMSR?
Father and son team, you guys are amazing!
I don’t know who’s more blessed the son or the father, BOTH!
My father was taken away for me when I was 4, do to his alcoholism, he made that impossible... he was an evil man, put into a social services, never saw him again...
To be able to build something together, it’s beyond words, silence is bliss.
To have a father such as yourself, one could only dream.
It’s calming.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The build is coming along nicely Mike you and Dad are working very well together as always.
You good folks inspire me. I am 95% handicapped, and I'm only 41. I have built many unique things by myself before my illness that robbed me of my physical abilities. So I just watch you guys be my hands and feet. Thank you. Blessings from mid America (Missouri)
Ни слова не понимаю, но наблюдать за процессом превращения палок, веток, коры в строительные шедевры очень увлекательно. Круто!!!
Talk about quality time with the old man. It doesnt get any better than this
I could watch mike scrape bark off trees all day. So satisfying to watch.
Awesome edition 4 with you and your Dad doing a great job. Love that your using wood from other projects to cut down on harvesting time and concentrating on the production of the Saxon House.
really enjoy thebuilding of houses and cabins you guys make and this one is coming on really well, love the progress updates!
The craftsmanship on this channel is astonishing...
That’s pretty awesome that you and your dad are building the Saxon house together
You are good people! Have your Dad’s stickers across my cc boat boat since 2015! Good video! Don’t need hype or music! The sound of the axe says all!
I really like the fact that the pallet wood cabin is still standing and even still completely usable I think when your done the whole place could be an air b&b
I love watching your Saxon house take shape and it's truly wonderful watching how you and your dad interact together (as well as the humor from you both). Another really awesome video of an outstanding build. 👍😊
Great video again. Watching this series brought me new appreciation for my grandfather and father back in the 60's. They built the family 3 story A frame cabin up at a mountain lake, there only power tool was a chainsaw. I remember in the 70's peeling poles and logs with one of those draw knifes when I was 7 or 8 to build the added on covered front porch. (It was the 70's 7 year olds were allowed to work with sharp blades). Brings back good memories, thanks!
That's awesome Eric! Do you still have the cabin? Building something like that in the family is such a good idea and so rewarding to watch the family enjoy it after all the hard work! - Mike
@@@TAOutdoors My thumbnail photo is off the back porch towards the lake last summer. Many changes over the years, we have power and we put in an indoor toilet (I think you call it a Loo?) Woodstove insert in the giant rock fireplace now (only heat). Cabins all around the lake now (grandparents sold off lots to afford the cabin). Already in the folks will to pass it down to my nephews and nieces. On the mountain behind where my great grandparents homesteaded in the late 1800's.
It isn't how fast you do it, but how much enjoyment you get out of working together.
Wood pegged structure like that is so much better then any nailed structure. I can see that being super solid for sure. Thumbs Up!
I saw an american video once where they called them wooden nails. Ok then?
YOU TWO ARE SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH INTERACTING WITH ONE ANOTHER...IT'S A JOY TO WATCH YOUR PROJECT FROM BEGINNING TO END...ALL THE BEST 🙏;)
Hey guys, ive watched alot of ur videos. Actually TA Outdoors was the very first video that got me into bushcraft. I have a 3 year old son and I hope we have a relationship like u guys have. I know we only see the video end but...this type of bonding and father/son relationship is almost gone now. Cherish every moment.
For anyone who wants to try the pine sap glue, heat the sap up but then stir in some ground up embers from a fire pit, it will make the glue flexible instead of brittle... Great video guys!!!
It makes it less brittle, but it's not truly flexible until you add a little animal fat, such as bear fat. The combination of pine pitch, bear fat, and charcoal dust has been used for millennia by North American First Nations people to give a waterproof, lasting seal to their birchbark canoes, which are designed to flex with the rapids that the canoes pass through.
I really like the idea of the weaved walls. . . Can't wait to see that!
There's just something about watching bark getting stripped and wooden pegs getting pounded in that is soothing.
woww guys, 10 times better constructed than the other house. Im not saying the other one was bad, but as far as you got right now Im loving this new one.
Mike, stop apologising for having fun! What you are doing is great, keep it up....
I think y'all are great. Love watching y'all
watching you guys work makes me want to go out to my summer home and do some yard work
enjoying RIGHT NOW !! ...
Don't want to wait 'til tomorrow
Why put it off another day
One more walk through problems
Built up, and stand in our way, ah
One step ahead, one step behind me
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans, don't dream about yesterday, hey
C'mon turn, turn this thing around............................................. JUST HIT THE PLAY THING!! RIGHT NOW !
Awesome work with you and your dad! I know many wish that they had the relationship you have with your dad! But I must say, when you sped up the film, it reminded me of old Benny Hill Shows my Nan and I would watch years ago!
This was super cool to watch. The outdoors, building something with your own hands, and by far the coolest part was dad and son. Makes me miss my dad, a civil engineer jack of all trades, and the main reason I still have all my fingers after using tools after all these years. Great video.
Great way to trpurpose another previous shelter !! Love the use of the pine pitch in the tenon ends
The house is coming along quite nicely. Save all your chips and shavings in a pile or bag and set them aside, you'll have a lot of tinder for future fires. I have a wood burning stove and save all my scraps for just that purpose. Works wonderfully. Once the roof is up, the house will last a lot longer if you have a drainage system around the house draining water away from it. Keep it up, looking forward to more progress ... oh, once it's done get a hold of Dustin for a royal feast and over nighter in the house.
All your episodes are great can't wait for the next thank you and God bless
It's a pleasure to watch Your Videos.
This week only: Father and Son Juggling Act, Live at Saxon House. Great fix to use pitch to seal the exposed tenon joints. I appreciate your taking the time to experiment with some carved joinery. It does look more permanent and neater and more 'structurally sound' than lashings. I would like to see you do a stone fire pit or a fireplace and chimney.
You are fortunate to live in the time you do. I could of seen my dad and I doing something like this show 20 years ago, but now it is a bit late for that. he can't handle the activity he used to.
Lots of progress, loving this build.
They are always no point these guys. Respect.
The sounds of the wood being drilled, sawed & bark being removed is so satisfying. The sped up hammering is just plain fun. Love these videos. 👍✌️
The wife and I watch every episode. We enjoy the knowledge dispensed. Your time and efforts are appreciated.
Great project and it's coming together nicely. I don't think criticism of whether or not it's a 'real' Saxon house matters, I am sure that not all Saxons built their house to exactly the same pattern and with exactly the same methods.
In reality people build what they can with the tools and materials at hand.
Don't forget to include animal dung and straw in the daub walls!
@@Sc4recrow44 Horse dung is not that bad, unless you are a towny.
It's fibrous so would help to hold things together and it's authentic.
Thnx guys, watched you for awhile. Great learning your craft, could very well come in handy.
Plain pitch was the primitives "30 second epoxy." Excellent!
Hello my name is Halfdan
I have enjoyed many of your videos for a long while now and I just want to thank you Mike. I haven’t had the best luck with weather or timing to get out the in the woods. I live in western Norway so I don’t get a lot of sunny days, and the laws for fires are very strict. From apr 15. to Sep 15. it is illegal to have a fire in the woods. This gives me about two weeks of good weather bushcrafting before I have to use a gas stove. I am left feeling weak when I can’t bushcraft just a little bit. You really help me to escape this unfortunate situation. It’s a real life saver to have your videos. Thank you so much for your works and all my skills are thanks to you. I’ve been planning on making some videos of my own, but I’m not the type of guy that can edit like you, any advice?
Halfdan Ravn at my farmers I had building hut from metal and wood
As always, yet another fabulous video !!
Your father is such a rip. Love it. The best times of my life were spent with my father and grandfather in the woods. You are lucky to have this time and even better to be able to share it with so many people. You will cherish this time forever.
Loving the Saxon building Lads...
Great build. I'm glad i stumbled upon the channel. You guys are almost pertinear as good as Mr. Chickadee. And that is high praise as I think he is among the best on RUclips.
The symphony of tools, nice gents.
How beautiful to see. And there is not a machine involved, everything is done beautifully by hand.
I must say once again, you guys are awesome. I enjoy every video you put up. Keep up the good work.
You are my new heroes.
You and your dad so sweet and amazing excellent work you done it and also very hardworking I enjoy it thank you to share with us
I'm a fan, nice Viking house also
I'm loving the ambience of all the videos you guys make. The sound of tools on wood is just soo relaxing :)
Agreed Erik , it takes me three attempts to watch the video 'cos I keep falling asleep.... :)
ASMR indeed!
Very much enjoying this series guys. Greetings to both you and your dad from New York. 👍
Alexis Cedano thank you!
Its looks like you two are really having a grand time! You are making memories!
Love this series, especially as a historical fanatic this is way better compared to the viking series. Looking forward to the next video!
Constantly enjoying all your videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the knowledge, the team work you folks put into your videos. Enjoy the entertainment . Keep them coming.
You should bring your gourmet cook along on more outings, it gives me a great appetite. Fantastic videos, very relaxing.
You guys are awesome!! Everything looks great!!
Thanks gentleman..............JJ...
My favourite series of yours, love the Saxon era in England :)
Can't wait for the next one
Loving watching this and that you're doing it with your dad! My partner and i are making a gypsy wagon by hand, the same as you, as much as possible without power tools. I do have a suggestion, maybe you could saw the tops of the support struts (where the beams with the pine pitch sit on), so that they slant downwards? This would make sure any water that did get it, would run off, away from the joint. Thanks for great and interesting viewing!
It’s nice to see you getting stronger
Give it a couple of centuries and I foresee some very puzzled archaeologists trying to work out why so many different types of housing are built in a village together. Great series, all of them.
Well done!!! Another awesome episode.
With regard to The notches they made with the saw for measuring purposes near the beginning, I asked my nine-year-old why didn't they just use a pencil? And he says, because that's not a handheld tool. Smarty pants. A new little bushcrafter on the horizon hopefully!
Stephanie Chandler tell me are you carpenter ????
@@mounirartists7409 nope.
It looks good really good 👍👌🍃
After basically finishing the whole of the viking house, halfway into a new project, he finally makes a proper mallet. And here I was thinking he'd leave that for the one million sub celebration. (boi so excited for you to be getting there soon!)
Sasdef got there in the end!
What a fun project! Wish I could be there with you! Just a quick suggestion? Where you have a peg joining 2 logs directly (as opposed to a peg going through a tenon), you can strengthen that joint by cutting slots into the ends of the peg before installing it, with the slots ending up an inch or so in depth below the surface of each log, and with each slot perpendicular to the grain of the log it's projecting from (so where the logs are 90 degrees to each other, so would the slots in each end of the peg), then after installing the peg, drive in small wedges into those slots to tighten the peg in the holes (like wedges holding on your hammer, ax and froe to their handles). So the slots and wedges would be oriented across the grain instead of with it, so they don't split the log. This would really lock in the pegs so that joint could not move, or squeak on the peg in the wind.
Love the pine pitch. I use it a lot making fishing flies.
I'll bet this shelter will still be intact and standing long after your gone. Good
job mate 👍love the channel
🌲TA outdoors🌲 is absolutely Awsome 👍 Thank You Mike & Graeme for all the video's & for both channels (the both of you are an insperation & legends) I can't wait for the next episode after everytime I've watched one (I wish you would both wear gloves, you need to look after yourselves) stay safe my friends 🙂👍
I love watching your videos!
You are both doing a great job and having fun. That's what it's all about.Take care and stay safe out there.
Love the Captain Caveman hammer
Hey, amazing !!! At the end I see Graeme holding what looks like exactly the same army surplus water bottle that I've been lugging around all over W Europe for the past 4-odd years.
Looking good, The best part is all the ready to peel timbers.
I love watching your videos. I also love the bonding between the two of you. For this Saxon House I recommend that you do the wall weaving first before you complete the roof. It would be easier to do the weaving without having the roof in the way. Anyways great jobs guys.
You guys are so awesome! I like your videos, they are amazing! Nice to know some of those skills are not lost to time
I wish I had the woods to do something like this with my kids
It has really started taking shape. Interesting build.
Looks amazing so far! I like the rigorous work on details. I also like the authenticity of the build very much! Great job guyz.
