Join me as we look at an incredible wood tile roof bushcraft shelter built by hand by my friend Ben. He shows you how to make wood roof tiles (shingles or shakes) using a few basic hand tools such as an axe and a froe. He also talks about how to lay roof tiles so that you don't get any water leaking from rain coming through.
Glorfendell2: I worked as a colonial restoration painter in New England for 40 years and always had a deep respect for the craftsmen who built them with no power tools. Seeing Ben do this has really brought the skill and patience needed to reality for me. Thanks for sharing this with us. Date: 2023-05-09
