Suggestion. try wooden dowels, say 1 inch or 1. 5 inch dowels on joints. Time honored tradition. Many barns in your country and mine were built with them. The trick to em is getting a tight fit but not overly tight. Its an acquired skill, but can save nails if you dont mind investing a bit of time. They make a very solid joint. Just notch the joint lumber before pinning with a dowel. Can make them from branches or saplings. Ive used them in several structures myself over the years.

I'm wondering, there must be times when you sit and think what shall I do next? One of my dreams is to build a fully operational underground bunker as it wouldn't affect the landscape and it'd be totally out of view. Have you considered this?

What a team you and your dad are. Great vid.
Where does the word noggin originate from?
The word itself dates back to England in the late 1500s. But it didn't always mean head. Originally, it was the word for a small cup or mug.

Brilliant to see you and yer dad in the bush camp and working together! I think noggin is a uniquely English term - my parents were both born in the UK and I remember being raised with that term in use around the house.

It's great you and your Dad does these things together. Not so common here in USA. At least with me anyway; it's why God made wives. Me and mine do everything together. Cheers from North Carolina, USA

How great to see you both in the woods again. It never fails to amaze me what you create almost out of thin air - minimal tools and the resources around you. What a treat! Cheers.

You should do another colab with Alec Steele and have him make a shingle froe. Then use said shingle froe to make shakes or shingles to replace the turf roofs.

I hope my son and I are still close when I'm Graeme's age. He likes to camp with me, but only if he can bring a Nintendo.
